when you get down to a couple of metres left, reserve the roll for a bigger print, it will carry on printing past 0m if its already running.

This is very typical of davinci behavior.
not sure if they place a bit extra on the roll or the counter over estimates usage . but typical to have some left over when the counter hits zero.

Filament Spools with Filament say 0m

I know similar issues have been brought up here, but I'm not sure they are talking about what I am experiencing.

I have a Da Vinci Mini, and I use the CLear Blue PLA filament in 200m rolls. At least that's what the Mini says when I start a new roll.

I now have 3 rolls that have (I think) a pretty good amount of filament left, at least good enough for one print, like a 12m one. I know it's a little tricky because when there's less left, there's REALLY less left because it wraps around the center "quicker". Still I swear there's enough for one last print, and certainly it's not 0m.

Because the Mini say 0m, it doesn't let me even try to print anything. How can I get the Mini to at least try?

("Inner" questions: does the circuit in the roll simply give a serial number, and the Mini itself remembers the usage for each roll, or is the usage stored on the roll?)

I get the Da Vinci wants to track the amount of filament used (and I like that), but it seems weird that it will refuse to print, and that the amount used seems to be pretty inaccurate.
