Change filament for infill

Are there settings in Prusa Slicer to change the which infill filament to use? I would like to have the infill filament different from the wall filament.

RE: Change filament for infill

On the Printer Settings | General tab change the number of extruders to 2.

Printer settings | Custiom G-code tab set tool change g-code to M600

Print settings | Multiple extruders tab - select Extruder 2 as Infill extruder.

Edit : I missed the obvious one - select the appropriate filament for each extruder.

Forgive me for responding to a very old thread.  Chances are that the necessary updates to this are due to changes in the application and firmware over the past six years.  Regardless, it should be noted that you would not adjust the extruder count from 5 to 2 for an MMU unit.  The custom G-code for Tool Change should be "M6" and "M600" would be added to the Color Change G-code.  If you have loaded an MMU template, the M600 G-code should arlready be present along with the codes to prime the nozzle after the change.

Thanks for the old reply though, you got me to where I needed to be.
