Easy to Print

200mm x 200mm, 2mm thick. Prints in around 4hrs on my Geeetech A10T.

For multi extruder printer, split into parts then select the parts for the second colour (first part in normally the base colour layer, all other parts are normally the top colour layer)

For single extruder printer, Slice file then select layer 6 (1.2mm height), then Right click on the + icon then select add custom G-Code, M25 (Pause SD Print) (Marlin2 Firmware). Then re-slice file.

Shrunk the model by 50% on x and y which made them perfectly coaster sized, but mostly did that because I was short on both black and white filament. 
I also used the Command M600 rather than M25 now that my printer supports that one.
(The whole story of that is in the comments of the models post)

Using the "M25" code doesn't seem to work that well because it ends up just stopping the print head on top of the print, and keeping it at temp, so it ends up just oozing a pile of plasic on that spot ruining the print because I can't swap the filiment fast enough.

What firmware does your printer have installed on it? What slicer are you using? if you are using PrusaSlicer-2.7.1 in Printer Settings, General tab there is Firmware section G-code flavor. Mine is set to Marlin 2. when I use M25, print will pause and park the extruder in left back corner.

ya I had an adventure last night trying to get these to print correctly, My ender 3 was running Marlin 1.0.1. I had tried years ago to update the firmware on it and came to the conclusion that I couldn't because I thought my ender3 was an OLD version with a board that didn't support that without using specialized hardware. old me was wrong, but before I figured that out I got 80% done setting up octoprint to run on an old Android phone, because apparently you can do that,

believing that it would allow me to do a firmware update or bypass the problem before I said screw it and just attempted it with the SD card. well that worked and now I have marlin 1.2.1. on the printer. (I just used an officially released one by creality) I have not tried the M25 command yet since but my printer now supports the use of M600, which is a dedicated filament swap call.

TLDR: this print drove me to update my firmware and get octoprint running and I can now do this XD
