single extruder, multiple swapped-in filaments

[cbarry]

Hi All,

Does S3D support slicing for a print setup that has a single extruder that can handle multiple (N-number-of) materials/colors? I see in the FAQ that it can support up to 6 extruders, but that is not the same thing. Would one use a process per material/color to handle this? would the processes need to employ macros or similar to deal with tool changing? Could these processes also alter nozzle size and temp?

Thanks for any input or further reading that can help here.

Cheers,

Yes, we do support the setup that you're describing (e.g. Bambu's AMS, Creality CFS, Anycubic ACE Pro). I would suggest emailing your particular printer setup details to the team using the link below and they can help you with the correct profile:
