Wrong color loaded on manual color change

I've just started experimenting with changing colors and so far, all have worked out ok except for when I mistakenly loaded the wrong color filament. I realised almost immediately and paused the print but could not think of how to change to the correct color without wrecking the print.

In this instance I kept with the wrong color and used it as a learning experience.

Question: If such a mistake as this happens, is there some way of changing to the correct color filament without losing the print?

Don't know about the mini specifically but on a mk3 you would just use the lcd based menu and select change filament, not pause print.  Then load in the filament you want.  Does the mini not have that option ?

Yes the mini has that option too.

While printing, select the TUNE option and then CHANGE FILAMENT.

👍

Thanks to both Neophyl and René for giving me the answer so quickly.  I'll try it before my next brain fade. 😊
