Topic: Replaced filament mid print successfully

I'm using a resetter so the filament left counter doesn't apply for me. I thought I had enough filament for a 6 hour print, but 3 hours in I saw I was almost out. I waited til the print head was on my supports, paused the print, manually took out the filament and stuck in my new reel, then resumed my print successfully.

You can see where my white filament ended and my yellow/green filament started to take over.

I guess I should mention that I have my reels on the outside of the printer, I didn't swap out the XYZ cartridge.
