Sometimes, you run out of filament in the middle of your print and need to change it. Other times, you intentionally want to change your filament. For example, you might want to start a print with gold and finish with black. This post is about how I do that. If you already have the plugin setup, go to Extensions, Post Processing, Modify G-Code. Press “Add Script” (the only option available) then select Filament Change. You will need to figure out what height you want the change to occur at, and then convert that into layers. At a 0.2mm layer height, 10mm would be layer 20, for example. From there, just slice your model as normal and Cura will include the command to change filament.
