color print question

i noticed the colorprint only seems to work with slic3r gcode. if i were to use cura, can i take the gcode that enables the color print and just stick it in cura where i want?

heres the gcode block in slic3r...
M106 S216.75

M600

(i think)

cura's gcode is set up a bit differently tho. can i do this and will the printer still do the same thing?

Re: color print question

Hi Bill

Yes, you can do that. I just add one line: M600 and the colour change routines are implemented.
