Mega Lucario Blue Dream

You will need at least one AMS/CFS to print this file. There are multiple color swaps and pauses that you will need to accomplish in sequence in order to achieve the desired end result. I have included a guide below on how this AMS/CFS exploit works. It sounds a bit tricky at first, but after you've done it once, it just ‘clicks’ and becomes second nature. Please let me know if you run into any issues; I'd be happy to help where I can. 

Project: Mega Lucario Blue Dream 12 Color.hfp

Print at 100% infill with a layer height of 0.08mm with a base layer of 0.16mm

The Model is 63.22x112.36mm in size

You may print at higher layer heights below the Base Thickness of 0.48mm
The Max allowed Thickness is 3.52mm and the Actual Thickness is 3.52mm

Swap Instructions:
    Start with Black
    At layer #8 (0.72mm) swap to Midnight
    At layer #11 (0.96mm) swap to Klein Blue
    At layer #14 (1.2mm) swap to Blue Grey
    At layer #15 (1.28mm) swap to Cyan CMYW
    At layer #19 (1.6mm) swap to Sky Blue
    At layer #20 (1.68mm) swap to Ice Blue
    At layer #22 (1.84mm) swap to Beige
    At layer #23 (1.92mm) swap to Bone White
    At layer #26 (2.16mm) swap to Cold White
    At layer #32 (2.64mm) swap to Turquoise
    At layer #33 (2.72mm) swap to Transparent Blue for the rest.
 

Manual AMS/CFS Color Swap Method

This print uses a staged manual filament swap technique with the AMS/CFS to expand the effective color palette beyond the normal slot limit.

How it works:

• Start the print with the first set of filaments loaded into the AMS/CFS.
• Allow the printer to complete all color changes assigned to a specific slot.
• Once a slot is no longer needed later in the print, pause the print during an inactive layer.
• Remove that filament from the AMS/CFS slot and replace it with a new color.
• Resume printing so the new filament becomes the active color for future layers.

Important:

• The replacement filament MUST be assigned to the SAME AMS/CFS slot as the original filament.
• Only swap after the previous filament is completely finished being used in the print.
• Do NOT remap colors in the slicer mid-print.
• Keeping notes/screenshots of the swap order is strongly recommended.

Why do this?

This technique allows:

• more colors than the physical AMS/CFS limit
• smoother gradients
• better highlight/detail control
• expanded HueForge/FlatForge color blending possibilities

Then I’d add a super short practical example:

Example:
Slot 1 = Black → later swapped to Dark Blue
Slot 2 = White → later swapped to Light Cyan
