Hey guys and gals,
im going to run out of filament for this print but I have a few loose strands laying around how would I go about switching to the strands mid print? I know there is a way as thats how many of you do the color change. searched the forum to no avail thanks!

you literally just feed it in afterwards, there isnt an instruction on how to do it really, its kinda like sawing something in half or gluing something together. You cant really instruct, more give tips.... if you have issues doing it, you can pause the print and then load the new filament strand.
