PrusaXL with multiple heads: Auto-resume printing when one spool runs out?

What I'd like it to be able to do is detect that it's run out of filament on one print head, and then automatically continue printing the part using a fresh spool that's already loaded into another print head.

Does anyone know if the XL will support this out-of-the-box?

I doubt anyone know for sure, but it would surprise me if that were not an option.

Yeah it's one of those things that seems like a really good reason to have an XL. (Print big things? Gonna use more filament.)

I just haven't seen this specifically stated anywhere as a feature.

 

I'm not too familiar with these forums - are there Prusa employees here from time to time? Anyone with inside feature knowledge?

I don't believe they are, and even if they are, I can't see them spilling any information like that here before it's publicly available.
