Posted · change color by adjusting G-code

Hello,

I have a UM2+ and a UM2Go and i'am using Cura 3.1. now. I'am wondering if it is posible too change color by adjusting and chaging the G-code. The "pause" function does work but when i try the "change color" function it does'nt.

    As far as i can see this script inserts a M600 command at the beginning of the specified layers.

    That's something that the UM2 printer family does not support and does not need.

     

    M600 does nothing more than retracting the filament and pausing the printer.

    I guess it's there to support printers that do not have a builtin "Change filament" function.

     

    For the UM2 you can just use the pause script and change the filament with the help of the printers menu functions.

        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
