Feature Request: Spool Join Improvements

Change any filament on an toolhead while pausing prints.
keep spool join, or allow to set it up.

I‘m printing my first big job with the XL, unfortunately filaments are only available in 1kg spools.
I have 2 toolheads equipped with the relevant nozzle diameters so I can not use more than 2 spools for spool join.

When the second spool ends, I can only replace one spool.
Please do allow to change other toolheads as well and keep spool join.
My prints are around 4-5kg each and this would be a huge time & painsaver.

RE: Feature Request: Spool Join Improvements

this is a peer to peer forum, rarely attended by Prusa developers
Improvements are better raised on the Prusa Git Hub pages.

It is wise to search the relevant github pages to see if your idea has already been suggested, in which case you can add your support to an existing request, 
If your idea in new, then you can create a new request on Git hub, where the developers hang out,

Okay, I'll have to setup an account, will make a request there.
Can you help me which would be the relevant page to post it to?
I guess this request applies to MMU too.

Guess it's still good to have a discussion here, so actual users can help contribute their ideas to this feature,
without the need to have a github account.

Hi Polydisco, 
Discussion is good, but action happens faster in Github. 
This idea is probably appropriate to MMU1, MMU2, MMU3, XL 2 tool and XL 5 tool
if you have the energy... 

It might be worth while, detailing the change in the XL5 Github, and referring to that post, in the other Githubs... 
regards Joan
Having said that I wonder if Prusa have the energy to consider MMU1 and MMU2...
