Add custom G-code / M600 (color print) using the horizontal slider

[Jimvanhazendonk]

I love the layer materials change functionality. I saw in the alpha of 2.3 that there is a new slider for in layer movement... would be great if the functionality of material change of the layers was also implemented for the new win layer progress. I would use it to enforce a material change in the current layer to print my inset text in another material. game changer for me since I do not need to check the current progress in octoprint anymore.

thank you

This would also enable color change in the infill instead of the perimeter, hiding the transition (perimeter blops).

Exactly. I have not seen this function in any other slicer. that would be a massive advantage for me. So. Manual materials change would be great and maybe assigning different materials to print feature types like infill, perimeter or support. I'm open for it 👍

Similar to #2967

yeah, right? I think its an awesome idea. I would enable me to do colorchanges on exact positions in the print... or other crazy stuff

Also it would only be ~10 minutes of programming since this function is already there. Small effort, huge impact. It's sad they don't listen to their fans. This request is almost 2.5 years old. :(

[Jimvanhazendonk]

Agreed! Is there a way to push this forward or make more noise for this.? like you said... it's a small feature and easy to implement. would make Prusa slicer that even better for me.

Maybe post this in the Prusaslicer Facebook Group... Or in the SuperSlicer Github

[Jimvanhazendonk]

Good idea! Let's join efforts

I was just about to write the same request. I'm also sending my vote here.

[Jimvanhazendonk]

Nice! hopefully this feature will be added some time

Would be cool! I'm doing some emboss labels inside boxes, this would allow me to change the text part inside the box only to 1 color, without printing the outside box wall in the same textcolor for 1 layer too...

[lindelleric]

This would be a fantastic feature! Imagine being able to inlay text or logo inside a layer, like a box lid etc.

it would require however that the logo/text are printed in it’s entirety before pausing for filament change. It would also probably be very difficult to keep these changes when applying different slicer settings.

Maybe this could be added as a special property to text and svg? Then a user can mark that text/svg to use a different color. And the slicer can make sure that the printer pauses correctly and that it prints the text/svg with the new color. I.e it doesn’t need to be as general as the pausing at a specific layer.

[hawwwran]

I just got this exact idea, that I want to change the color after perimeters are done to "wipe" the new color into the infill, to prevent imperfections in perimeter. I knew I wasn't the first. It would be nice this task would get more attention.

Yeap, just had the same nead/idea!
