Material change mid-print
I've recently transitioned from Simplify3D to PrusaSlicer which on the whole I much prefer.
However, I'm looking to print something at the moment and mid-print (at a specific layer) I need to change from PLA to a flexible material.
This means not only do I need to initiate a filament change at that layer but need to apply different print settings after the change.
Is this something that's possible with PrusaSlicer or will I have to still use Simplify3D for that?
Thanks

You can use modifiers to apply different settings pretty much everywhere you want.

If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.

Exactly what I was after, thanks
RE: Material change mid-print
The modifier only allows you to apply one parameter at a time. If one wants to switch between flexible and e.g. PETG, that's not very practical because there are several parameters involved and you'd have to copy all of them manually. Is there a way to achieve that?

Unfortunately I don't think so, an ability to use height modifiers to change filament profile would be an extremely powerful tool.
