G-code to manually change filament without AMS. See https://github.com/bambulab/BambuStudio/issues/278

; All M620, M620.x and M621 commands are removed to enable manual filament change.

;===== AMS commands skip ====================
; Since there is no AMS, the following three lines are used solely to suppress
; the T[next_extruder] command.
; If these lines were omitted, the T[next_extruder] command would be executed
; after this code, leading to system hang as the toolchange command wait for the AMS.

Thanks so much for sharing this! I was really surprised when I realized my P1P couldn't handle color changes on its own without an AMS, and this gcode saved my day. 🙌
