MK4+MMU3 color change by layer height
Hello,
I'm having problems to set a filament change by layer height with MMU3. I want everything up to a certain layer to print with extruder 2 with white PLA, and after this layer change to the extruder 5 with black PLA to print the rest.
When trying to add a color change on Mk4 MMU Profile on the layer bar (just like without MMU but with manual swap) it gives this error (and it doesn't allow to select extruder). And slicing it afterwards doesn't change the color.
The multimaterial print tool also doesn't allow to change colors by layer height. My model sides are smoth so smart fill won't work.
On normal Mk4 profile (without MMU3) I can set color change on layer height, but it's M600 so I would have to manually change the filament.
How can I do a color/extruder change on MMU3 based on layer height?

this is one way.

Thanks, I got this working!
I feel this shouldn't be that complicated.... or at least well explained in help articles:

there is often more than one way to do a task...
learn as many different ways to do things, as you can and then apply whatever you find easiest... and sometimes, the easiest way, is not your normal way,

RE: MK4+MMU3 color change by layer height
Hello,
In the first of the articles than SilvS refer, I am trying to carry out scenario 3 to obtain more than 5 colors changing by layer height and when I laminate it seems to do so but when I subsequently open the bgcode file with G-Code Viewer it does not seem to reflect the changes.
Do you know if the M600 doesn't work on the MMU3?
If it doesn't work, is there an alternative to be able to change by layers and thus make more than 5 colors?
Thanks in advance
RE: MK4+MMU3 color change by layer height
As far as I have seen M600 is not compatible with multiple extruders in PS. It is one or the other.
RE: MK4+MMU3 color change by layer height
And is there a way to change the filament in one of the MMU3 positions at a certain layer height in order to be able to make more prints with more colors?
