Use similar color for auto refill

[microenh]

I have a single partial spool of BL PLA Basic Orange. I have several spools of BL PLA Basic Pumpkin Orange. I would like to use up the Orange. For the print I’m doing, it is acceptable to have the color switch from Orange to Pumpkin Orange. Auto Refill won’t do the switch. Is there any way to do a switch?

I haven’t tried it, but I’m thinking of starting the print with only the Orange filament loaded in the AMS. When that runs out with no auto-refilll, the printer will prompt me to install another spool of Orange in the AMS slot that ran out. What would happen if instead I installed a spool of Pumpkin Orange?

t. What would happen if instead I installed a spool of Pumpkin Orange?

It will continue. The AMS does not read RFID when you reload manually in the middle of a print. It just trusts you.

You can also manually set your spool type, if you want it automated.
