3rd party slicers have this ability, such as prusaslicer. Prusaslicer also comes with snapmaker profiles built in. After you slice a file and in the preview, you can click a little + sign to add a color change. ![Screenshot 2024-12-06 180228](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/snapmaker/original/3X/4/5/45357269940a54af4d2eeda1bc074fe3ff7ccb0f.jpeg) ![Screenshot 2024-12-06 180249](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/snapmaker/original/3X/4/8/48b837bc8c549460cd3321b00c7a5de869aa1de9.jpeg) ---

Thank you! I have been hesitant to branch out with different slicers until I know what I’m really doing, and what exactly to expect. Maybe it’s that time!! ---

It can be a lot, but you get used to the power of the slicer quick and realize you can do so much more. 🙂 ---

with a different slicer, can the print speed also be increased? ---

Indeed it can. There’s an entire speed section in Prusaslicer under print sections that you can tweak. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/snapmaker/original/3X/f/7/f776690532d8da02f47db71f3ce79a1cb7af158b.png) ---

I remember Cura provided settings to support changing the filament during the printing process.
