Extruder Change on Different objects behavior

Hi there,

i’m playing with multi-material and extruder changes. It does well for now but i would like to do somthing special and i guess it is not so easy …

Actually i print two objects in two different colors with two extruders the normal behavior is :

Layer 1 Object 1 Extruder 1 M600 Object 2 Extruder 2

Layer 2 Object 2 Extruder 2 M600 Object 1 Extruder 1

Layer 3 Object 1 Extruder 1 M600 Object 2 Extruder 2

 

Etc …

 

Seems to be optimized and logical but the result on what i really want is not so good … The way to improve my render would be to do :

 

Layer 1 Object 1 Extruder 1 M600 Object 2 Extruder 2 M600

Layer 2 Object 1 Extruder 1 M600 Object 2 Extruder 2 M600

Layer 3 Object 1 Extruder 1 M600 Object 2 Extruder 2

Layer 4 Object 2 Extruder 2 M600 Object 1 Extruder 1

Layer 5 Object 1 Extruder 1 M600 Object 2 Extruder 2

 

Etc …

 

Is there any way to change that in the slicer or am i mandatory to play in gcode in text mode ??

Thank at all 🙂

Prusa Slicer optimises for the fewest filament changes.  If you wish to optimise for layer cooling it might be easier to add a pause ( G4 ) at layer change.

Cheerio,

Not for that cooling thing. In my scheme 

First objectiis in yellow as text surrounded by black on the first layer, i would like the second layer start again with the text in yellow for have something thicker and less able to be damaged by the black color ...
