Easy way to print with tool #2

Right now tool #1 is jammed and not working. While I try to figure that out, I'd like to keep printing using tool #2. It's not practical to go into the slicer and paint all the geometry for tool #2. Is there a way in the firmware to override which tool it's going to use for a print? Otherwise I am dead in the water until I can get tool #1 working.

RE: Easy way to print with tool #2

In PrusaSlicer, on the right side of the window, there is a section that lists the objects loaded on the print bed, directly underneath the infill percentage.

To the right of the object name is a column that says "Extruder".

The extruder is normally set to "default", which I believe defaults to extruder 1, but you can click on the default extruder, which will open a dropdown menu and allow you to change to your desired extruder.

I just updated the firmware and I now see that I can override which extruder to use at print time, which is what I wanted. I didn't want to have to reslice a file to use extruder #2.
