Just to add to this, you can do poor mans multi color by just telling the printer to pause at the exact later required, then change the filament by hand, and hit resume. It's tedious, but it works, if you need it in a pinch 🤷‍♂️

You can also go full caveman and setup magic markers to "paint" a single color filament as it passes by heading into the extruder. I did that a time or two back in the day before multi color filaments and it works OK.

Never thought of that haha, sounds rough, but I like it

You get kind of a pastel looking results. It really wasn't worth the effort in the long run.
