“Get an AMS” they said. “You can do multicolor prints. Up to 16!”
Me: What is “color”?

I never really got over the waste the AMS produces. I love it for the auto load and backup fillament features but multicolor printing needs a few more innovations to be really practical imo.
It’s worth it for the dry storage and automatic loading alone. Printing multiple objects one after another on the same bed and same print job, but with different materials is also a great feature and huge time saver for small parts. For actual multi-material prints the best use cases are imo writing into the first layer with a different color or using 2 different non-adhering materials for a thin layer between supports and the part. All of these things require very little filament changes and significantly improve the usage experience.
Just having it auto load and unload is pretty nice tbf
This is color 😉AN AMS, not four. But you do you. 😉
Looks like you need to get a second one!
Mine is full of the same color lol. I just use it as a filament backup so it keeps printing when the others run out
