General Information

Basic Printer Configuration

Make sure the printer is properly setup to printing single color before trying to move to multi-color printing.

Set the Correct bed shape and size
Calibrate your extruder
Level bed and calibrate first layer
Before printing assign colors to the extruders
Don't forget to set the purge lengths - they are reset when you close the PrusaSlicer - this has nothing to do with P2PP.

These settings will be NEEDED for all printers. Below are the basic needed settings.

Start by loading your printer default profile in Prusa Slicer.
Set Prusa Slicer to expert mode so some of the below settings can be entered.
Start with the Printers Tab in Prusa Slicer
Go to General > Capabilities > Extruders Change to 4/8 and check box for Single Extruder Multi Material

For a more extensive setup guide, go to P2PP Configuration.
