Any chance for your printer.cfg and SS settings, I’m having a problem with switching filament and after one layer I getting faults with Move out of range😏 Thanks

Any problems running 2 color prints? What size prime tower did you use?

@poedenon ,  
I’m using the default the slicer provided, but you may need to adjust based on colors.  
Example: printing white and red, you may need more tower to purge white to clear the red out of the nozzle.

Just for reference, here are links to Klipper and Slicer documents.
