insert new filament
ta da !
New filament :-)
If you want to change filament mid-print. there is probably a pause print option on the printer control panel.
I've never done that.
I've occasionally poked new filament into the extruder directly behind a run out reel. That works pretty well.
Well as long as the print doesn't have a bunch of retractions.
Because while a new piece of filament can push the old bit along the tube, it can't pull it back for a retraction.
So there's that.
But just a filament changeover, takes about 5 minutes.
