name tags in two colors  

RE: name tags in two colors

Add a pause command at the required height by using the vertical slider in the Prusa Slicer, once you have loaded the object into the slicer and generated gcode. Go to the tab showing the sliced object, slide the orange slider downwards to the required height of the object, watch the object disintegrating layer by layer. Then click on the slider - I think its a right-click -, add a pause and slice again. Then export and print. When the printer pauses, change filament and resume print.

You add a color change, not a pause, but otherwise correct. its just a left click on the plus sign.
Here is an ok video:

Here's an example of a manual filament swap at a certain height:

Or you can use the technique in here, for a two-color model that doesn't require the use of an MMU. If the accent color part is only 3 or 4 layers high, it's a manageable number of manual filament changes.
