How to print alternating color layers using MMU?  

RE: How to print alternating color layers using MMU?

You can do it manually in Single-mode or need the 2.2.0 version of PrusaSlicer (currently in beta).

RE: How to print alternating color layers using MMU?

Not currently. The 2.2 pre-release supports using the MMU to insert colour changes at certain layers.

Thanks for your replies. I knew I could do it manually but really wanted to avoid that. I'll wait for the new release. 

Thanks again.

Just downloaded the beta version and it allows me to do exactly what I want!! Thanks again!!

Hi Henry,

I'm just wondering if you downloaded a new firmware for the printer as well. In my case it did not work - I just downloaded the pruca slicer 2.2.0 beta - I believe they are using new M-function which a older version does not understand or just ignores and in my case only used filament 1 not like I have choosen 2 others.

I found my mistake or the mistake of the Beta slicer. Once you tick wipe into this object - it does everything with colour no.1. The good thing is what you see (at the pruca slicer) is what you get.

RE: How to print alternating color layers using MMU?

I think the issue is your print. There's no area to wipe into; the Z height of the colour change does not correspond to any available infill volume that can be used to wipe... Unless you expect your nozzle to punch into the print and fill it with purge like a jelly doughnut... 😛

Hi vintagepc,

In my case it would not matter you would hardly recognize.

The beta version does have to options:

first is "wipe into this object's infill" and

2nd is "wipe into this object
