Enable "Change Filament" Option when printing in Spiral Vase mode

Open LidorBaum opened this issue 1 year ago • 10 comments

When in preview mode, after slicing a model in vase mode, in PrusaSlicer it's possible to press on the + icon in the right layers-slider and add a filament change command. In Bambu Studio and Orca Slicer this feature is disabled. Is there an option to make it enabled? Its working pretty good on prusa Mk3s+. image image

Adding to this as I noticed this same thing, even when not in Vase mode.

I had to disconnect my ams from x1 C and via side loaded filament, I was not able to do a simple layer height filament change. I had a small part I printed multiple times using these options all turned to a single color item: -Filament 1 set to first section then layer 15 change filament to Filament 2 (no pause, just single color printed) -Filament 1 set to first section then layer 15 change filament to Filament 1 (no pause, just single color printed) -Filament 1 set to pause, but then I was unable to change filament on the printer or via handy app. (I didn't test in the slicer)

I also tried in bambu labs slicer and was NOT able to make this happen as well. I have the default filament start and end gcode.

Following this, would love to do multicolour vases!

I'd also like to see this - primarily so that I can add any sort of gcode as a marker to merge vase and non-vase print gcode. Also not entirely sure I understand why it's intentionally disabled to begin with?

Also keen for this. Just doing a custom M600 currently, however that doesn't handle different material types/temps/flow rates.

Presumably because spiral mode is a single continuous line from bottom to top. Any pause would result in artefacts. Maybe it should just be a warning though, so one could experiment with it.

Yes, I think this is the way...
