Change color between objects

Is there a way to induce a pause for color change of filament between objects when printing them sequentially?

Thanks

Note: using a MK3s+, no mmu

RE: Change color between objects

You can update your printer Profile to add in whatever gcode you want into the Between Objects field (must be in expert mode to see the settings though).

Save the profile as a custom name and then whenever you slice with that profile the gcode you have configured will be added between objects.

Thanks! Can you tell me where to find the code to do that? If not it's ok, I'm sure I can find it.

Well I don't know what your printer uses for colour change as you haven't mentioned what that is.  Does your printer respond to the 'normal' colour change command at a normal layer change ?

If you does then whatever it has in the colour change field under Printer Settings>Custom G-Code>Colour Change G-Code you can just copy to the Between Objects field which is located above the colour change field.  For a prusa printer that uses Marlin the the code is M600.  However it might be different for your printer.

In my OP I did mention it's a MK3s+, no mmu. But ok, I'll try that.  Thanks again.

Sorry, missed that.  My apologies.  Side effect of reading and responding to lots of posts.  In which case the M600 should be fine.
