    Hi guys,
    I have done one successful multi-coloured print and that was with repitier, now that I have changed to simplify3D I am wondering if anybody has acomplished it with S3D?
    I have tried changing the settings at layers but that simply just changes settings and doesn't stop the actual print to give you the opportunity to change filaments.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated :)

    You can just pause the print at an appropriate time (best to do during long infill part) and switch out the filament, Ive done it just to see and it works fine.
