That's cool and all, but wildly impractical. Just thinking about swapping the filament dozens if not hundreds of times to print the intermediary filament that's capable of making each layer of the final product is making me tired.

I believe you only need to swap the filament once for each different filament material that will be used. That's the whole point of the article.
