Will Cura ever support more than two filaments/tools?

I have used Cura from the beginning and have really dialed in my settings.

When I added a multi-color adapter I had to start using another slicer because Cura would only support two tools.

Please add to the wish list!

This isn't exactly the best place to get an official answer on that, that's something you will need to ask on github to get a real answer on.

Yes. Cura already supports at least 8 extruders. However, if the printer definition you use says that the printer only has 2 extruders, Cura will offer up to 2 extruders.

 

If you add for example a Custom FFF Printer, you can select up to 8 extruders.

 

Cura has the philosophy that if you can mod your printer, you can also (learn to) mod your printer definition.
