The easy welder tool is new and might be released to public. It allows the fusion of two filaments together allowing multiple color combinations. So does anyone know if you could figure out how much filament would be used up to a certain layer? This would allow you to print multicolored prints with one extruder.

That thing looks like a heck of a faff.
I would think it would be much easier/quicker to just pause the print and switch colours.
