I would like to try Multi-color print with my single Extruder using Simply3D. I know that I need to create two process / depending how many colors , however this is my problem ?

After the first Process has finished , My printer head will home on all axis ( Z - Moves up to the top - Home ). This is a problem because it takes time & head will cool.

What I like would like to happen is the printer head to move to the side and up a small amount so that I can change the the filament.

I do not know what code to use etc.

Thanks

I didn’t read all of it, but it appears to have useful information for your objective, including a couple specific g-codes.

Not tried this, but getting S3D to fire off an M600 will do the trick…

Did you remove the End gcode script from the first process?

@Evan_Nguyen If I remove it , I need to replace it with something else and that’s what I am looking for.

@Vaughan_Lundin - Shove the M600 in (that’s if your Firmware’s set up for it). You can leave the Start of the next process or the end of the first process blank and it’ll stay hot.

Ok I will try that Thanks @Ax_Smith-Laffin
