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

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...

Is there any update or maybe a workaround? It is possible to slice in spiral vase mode and then change the gcode file to include the color change, but it is a slow and somehow painful workflow.
This really should be supported. PrusaSlicer supports inserting colour changes in vase mode. It would be great to combine this with the simplicity of the AMS. Currently I can do this with a MK3s smoother than a P1S with AMS...
