As a workaround, you could also select a generic material of a material that matches or is very similar to the material you are trying to use. Because this is not exactly the same, results may vary and I would recommend to monitor the start of the print and occasionally check in on your print the first time, to ensure all goes well.
I can try disconnecting the material station; I couldn't find any instructions on switching between using the material station and the manual spool holder. I didn't realize it was just a matter of unplugging it, as you state.
It would be nice to be able to select whether material for each station is fed from the material station or the regular spool holder. Any chance that will be added in a future firmware update?
As for the generic material workaround; I'm trying to setup IGUS iglidur I180 Tribofilament. Their formulation is proprietary, so it isn't very clear what generic material I should start with.
