2 Head XL Multicolor
Hello,
How I change the color/filament to other then two that are already on the extruders ?
On Prusa Slicer if I select the "add color change" , there is only the two options (extruder 1 , extruder 2) , what if I want to add another spool with a difrent color ?
Thanks.

You have only two extruders right?
So two colors.
Want more… order the upgrade… or you can pause and manually swap filaments the old one-extruder way.

Yes I have only two extruders.
Yes the ideia is to manually swap filaments, but how I chose that option in Prusa Slicer ? There is any option then choosing one of the extruders ?
Thanks.

You only have two extruders so what other extruders would you be choosing from?
M600 color change just pauses the print for you do the filament swap manually - nothing else.
The choice of your two extruders is to choose which tool is active for the manual swap.

I think I know what you’re asking… there should be a pause option in the right click menu from the preview scroll bar. I don’t see it either, but it used to be there…
OK I see what it is. The pause is only there in the menu when there is only one object. Multiple objects and the menu only shows the extruders.

This sounds like a English translation issue. Extruder = print head. So just do exactly what you showed in the picture, and the printer will stop at that point to let you change filament.

Hi,
I already did the color change of an extruder with the option "Add color change (M600) for: " then choose the Extruder.
At the layer selected it pops a message to change the filament, I do a manual change of the filament, select purge, then ok, and the printer resume the job.
But in this procedure there is an issue, when I do the purge the filament, with a clamp I remove the purged filament but it don't stop to slowly extrude filament because of the head temperature. Then I resume the printing which leave a a chunck of filament all the way to the coordinates that was the color change on the print job.
There should be an wipe tower or someting like that, how I force an wipe after the purge filament and resume the print ?
Thanks
Best Regards
