MMU3 and printing ABS or PC: is it possible??

Hi everyone, I have the MK4 and soon it will become the MK4S with MMU3 latest firmware version.

I need to print some parts in ABS or PC but in the choice of filaments ABS or PC does not appear. Only PLA or PETG.

Best Answer by vhubbard:

For one color, I slice it as standard MK4 without MMU3, then when it comes time to run, the printer will show the filaments 1-5 and what it thinks they are.  I assign the ASA or PC to the correct filament number, and then select the filament to run. 

This discussion has details on selecting the filament when using a standard file with MMU3.

I tried to do as you suggested...It works. You can see that the profiles are not optimized but for simple ABS parts, a single color are ok.

Thanks for the suggestion
