“Get an AMS” they said. “You can do multicolor prints. Up to 16!”
Me: What is “color”?

I never really got over the waste the AMS produces. I love it for the auto load and backup fillament features but multicolor printing needs a few more innovations to be really practical imo.
Yeah I’m planning to tweak some settings/code to reduce the waste some, but it will still waste no matter what. It does beat waking up at 3am to change a color by hand though.
