Color Change With Sequential Printing

Hey everyone,

I run a 3D print service/3D modeling company and use little keychain swatches to show off my colors. I would like to print them using the 'Sequential Printing" option in PrusaSlicer but it says I can not do a color change when using said feature. I also use Mini+ printers so MMU is out of the picture.

Does anyone by chance know if there is a work around or why this is the case? Any help is greatly appreciated!

 

Running PrusaSlicer 2.5.0

I think that has been an issue for a while.. IT is in GitHub as a feature request.. just hasn't been implemented. There are work arounds.. and I can't remember what they are.. but you can insert gcode after a sequential model is done..

 .. just looked it up..

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

In this box add:   M600 (if that is the code for filament change.. not sure it is I haven'ty looked it up)  

You can just use for that one print or save as new printer for when you want to do it again.
