Sequential Printing, Multi Process, Multi Color.

Thought I would share this. Using Sequential printing with Multi Process has reduce the number of material changes required.
I use to print the objects one at a time. Now I print them in the same job and use pauses to change out the material. Only requires 3 changes during the job.
Now I start with Black, Change to White, to grey, then back to black.

The old way was:
Object 1 start with White, change to Black. finish
Object 2 continue with black change to white. finish
Object 3 continue with White change to grey. finish
then change back to White to start next batch.

That's awesome. Can you give a bit more detail? How did you pause?

I'm struggling with supports ruining my models, I wonder if I could use this to swap out PVA. But it might require too much swapping.

I would love to know if you are Pausing automatically or manually? I'm running some tests right now and it's frustrating I can't tell it to pause after each Sequential Process in the GUI...

I just found the answer... Watch in Preview and the next Sequential is treated as a Layer. Pause in Scripts at that Layer and all should be good 🤘🤘

This didn't work and I will be explaining why in a new Post.
