How do I print with two different filament types on same object?

I want to use PETG and PLA in the same object.  Hopefully you can see in the image below what I'm trying to do.  The red top and bottom areas are PETG, and the middle will be PLA (because these are the only two filaments I have rn).  If I just print it as is, the PLA will be too hot coming out of the extruder, right? 

Is there an easy way to do this?  I have no problem printing with either filament by themselves (even though I'm a noob), so I hope this is doable.  Any help is appreciated 🙂

You can add custom g-codes to control the temperature, the same way a color change is made, just right click the plus sign and "Add custom g-code". See Prusa-specific G-codes for codes to use.

Have a look at my models on Printables.com 😉
