Printing seperate objects in difference colors.

Let's say I have 6 objects on the plate, how do I print each of in a different color without a wipe tower.

Since each object is a single color they would need to print sequentially with a very small wipe tower only when moving on to the next object.

This is done to save time by not having to print each one with a separate slicing pass.

See the attached file for an example (thought the objects do not all need to be the same, they are in this case)

See this thread: https://forum.prusa3d.com/forum/prusaslicer/color-change-with-sequential-printing/  

under PRINTER SETTINGS > CUSTOM GCODE there is a "BETWEEN OBJECTS GCODE box where you can add custom gcode.. 

We will do what we have always done. We will find hope in the impossible.

Unfortunately that will only work for a single color change between two objects since the same gcode will appear in between each object.
