Slicer adding extra filament not needed in print
Hello,
I am new to using the MMU2. I have a print that has three filaments (white, clear, and soluble; position 1, 2, and 3). When I slice my model, Slicer uses all three filaments and then puts in a layer for filament 5. I tried setting the extruders by right clicking on the part in Slicer and specifying only filaments 1, 2 or 3; however, Slicer continues to try to use filament 5 which is unloaded.
Is there a way to turn off filaments 4 and 5 since I don't need them?
Any other suggestions?
Thanks!
Michael
RE: Slicer adding extra filament not needed in print
IIRC there is something about soluble material having to go (or being expected to be) in slot 5 which I've seen discussed before but can't recall the details on. This is probably the source of your issue.

Thanks! In Slicer it looks like filament 5 should be the soluble support. I'll try it.

Yes, slicer was assuming filament 5 was the soluble support. Thanks!
