If you are going to show people how to print using bambu printers, and AMS, syncing the filament in the slicer works best. And... if the printer has bambu filament in it, it will tell you the exact filament in the slot, by using the RFID tags. Others will need to be inputted manually, and yes, PLA,, PETG, and so on, will need to be looked at as well. I wish you all the best of luck with the tutorials, but if you do continue this, more details, and guidance will help more people. Have a good one!
This is the same in Orca Slicer as well. If you use a single color printer, you can do manual color changes following the same steps above and setting your printer to a mutli-color, single extruder then add the M600 (Marlin Code) in the Machine G-Code Change Filament G-Code box under the printer. This video pointed me to how to setup multi-color in the STL without editing the G Code and it simplifies the number of filament swaps I have to do. Awesome!
I would print this model standing vertically on its tip. Without any supports, the model would probably tip over, so you need a tiny amount of designed supports; Not for supporting surfaces, but to support the whole structure, so I typically use a tower next to the object connected to it with tiny bridges. With that orientation, you can also print many copies at once.
They added pegs to prusa slicer in order to help combining parts cut in half like that. It is just a matter of time before the feature gets added to bambu and orca slicer.
I don't even have a 3D printer yet, and just looking at the chili, I can already see that you just print it in 6 parts. Print the red and green separately, and split them down the middle so you don't need supports. The other two are tiny pins to align the two halves. Then glue them together. Don't need any AMS. And you don't waste filament with purge blocks and poops.
I'm looking to get a 3d printer but I'm not sure i want to spend the extra for the ams. I'm thinking of maybe single printing and paiting maybe. What are your suggestions?
No music!!! Thank you so much. I can actually hear what you're saying!
Also with cutting vertically with a print like that I think cutting it at the base of the colour change would help hide the join line.

before cutting you can select (( add connectors)) for easy alighnment
Such a great tutorial. Thank you so much for showing the different ways to split/assemble.
I like the last option a lot. I think I’ll experiment with abs to try acetone bonding the pieces. Might get rid of that seam line

Is your purge tower just 100% filled wasted filament?

It’s already in orca!
Is there a way to save a sliced model with multi colors? As in if I wanted to print multiple of the same model with multi colors
Nicely done
How would you suggest going about this same issue with instead an Ender 3 Max Neo? Also it possible to use cura to print in multiple colors?

There are Many other ways to slice in multicolor even without an AMS.. but a good basic overview to show some options..

Nice
Wow your profile needs work. That's the worst results from a Bambu I've ever seen.
