Filament continuation question.
Hi,
I have my multi head XL coming soon and was playing around in PS to see what it could do.
My question is about changing tool heads to continue a print when the first tool heads material runs out. For example I have some materials that only come on 500g spools and on the XL you can easily fit large parts or a bunch of small parts on the plate totaling over 500g of material being used. If I wanted to avoid having to manually perform a material change once tool 1 runs out is there a way to load tool 1 and 2 with the same material and have the printer change heads automatically to continue the print without human intervention?
Thanks for the input and help.

it may also work on XL...
Unfortunately I don't have an XL to try it on...

From what I understood, there is something in development for the next firmware release. They're talking about that in the latest Podcast on Youtube. Around minute 13.
