I've only paused from the control panel on the Qidi, that works flawlessly.

I think I understand how to do a filament change now with Sailfish on a QiDi under S3D. The M322 command works, but you have to define the Z height where the change is to occur, and insert the "M322 Z2.0" command before that layer is printed.
For example, plugging the M322 Z2.0 command as the last line of the starting script would cause the print process to pause at 2.0mm. Further, if multiple pauses were required then multiple M322 Zx.y commands may be inserted, but they must be placed at the correct locations within the print file.
The REPLACE command sequence works well for that process when placed in the post processing field. For example, assuming a .2 layer height, to change filament at 1.0 and 2.0 into the print the following post processing commands would suffice:
{REPLACE "; layer 2" "M322 z1.0\n; layer 2"}
{REPLACE "; layer 6" "M322 z2.0\n; layer 6"}
This is with the QiDi Tech dual extruder flavor printer. I have no info about the X-one.

Interesting. On the X-one the Prusa Colorprint app might work since it is gcode based. I may have to try it.
I have wanted a way to easily do it on the Tech-1 of a FFCP.

FYI Here are some additional clues about S3D functions that I got from them.

Hey W, did you ever receive and install the multi-color /filament options for your Prusa? If so, how does that work?

They are just starting to ship. I don't know when it will come but it will be no time soon to install. Busy starting a build on a larger volume printer.

Finally replaced that darn noisy fan inside the QiDi.
Here is how I did it: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2379468

Added to my project list - thankd DaveB!
I recently discovered a couple of fanless power supplies that I had squirreled away for a different project which appear perfectly suited for this application (photo attached). I plan on swapping the stock one out at the same time for a very quiet solution .

For whatever reason, the power supply fan on my QiDi is very quiet. Only the fan that was cooling the stepper motor driver modules was noisy.
