I mean inserting the pause gcode command in the slicer.
The idea is that this command is very basic, so every printer supports it, as opposed to a filament change command.
I used Cura and IIRC you could add “move away from the print and move back when unpaused” commands.
I haven’t 3d printed for far too long, so my memory is very blurry. You might be better off looking for a Youtube video or googling for a tutorial, but it wasn’t rocket science once someone on the internet explained it to me.
Edit: maybe try searching for something like “3d printer filament change pause”
Thanks ! I have tried this in Cura (“pause at height” script instead of “change filament”). You can select the pause gcode instruction. Most of them does not works… but one of it works!! My first two-color print!!
I still have to manage how to purge without making a mess on the bed.

No problem! I’m glad you got it working!
I would just pull the first filament away from the bed and the rest usually follows along and you get a little birds nest.
