· Can I change filament for a section, not height?
The sections would have to be not-touching horizontally because the nozzle would touch the earlier color. So I'm guessing they *do* touch vertically (print one color on top of a layer that is of a different color).
Yeah I'm pretty sure that feature doesn't exist. You should really consider getting a two filament printer! 🙂
So you could do this by slicing different models and printing as separate print jobs and have some of them start at Z>0 (you can set the Z height of the bottom of your part in cura if you disable "automatically drop..." in general preferences).
