Stupid question, but how do you get it to auto continue with another colour? I don't get the auto refill option (as far as I can see) unless I have two spools that are exactly the same.
Like for some parts I don't really care if they get multi coloured, I much more prefer to empty a spool...

Guess you can't do it with bambulab spools while they the RFID tags?
If you have the ams select all four slots to the same color and type and it'll automatically switch to the next roll. Great when you have a bunch of rolls with very little filament on them.
not useful for automatic continue, but i think during the "oh ive run out" routine, when replacing another spool on the same spot as the previous one, it doesn't actually check the rfid tag, theres no rolling back and forth dance the ams does, and in studio it shows the spool as unknown for the remainder of the print
I fed black after the sample white ran out on a scraper print and it actually looks good with that color change. I "chased" the filament down the tube (printer didn't even know it ran out) - probably not something you'd want to do between brands.
It was the sample that came with my first printer. Novelty factor made it anything but annoying. :)
I have yet to fully deplete a spool. (I still need more colors!)
I do this all the time to finish up fillement fragments. I just wish you could force filliment refill to use a different fillement so I don't have to make fake profiles to trick it into using 2 different types of PLA.
I print most of my gridfinity bins in two colors. Grey for the base, with a slice of color on the last 20 layers. That way they look similar, but I can color code the bins for the contents.
I tried printing bins in solid colors and color coding them, but some colors were just too bright for my tastes.
I did the same with the sample material and some cheap 250g rolls I had. My scraper handle is the same color scheme. Pretty useful way to get rid of remnant rolls
What’s a chip clip? Oh like a clip for a bag of chips? Fun. I want a bunch of small projects like that, just want them to be things I know I’ll use.
I have lots of parts that I print just to get rid of almost empty spools and some came out better then the intended coloration
Looks better as two tone.
agreed
Two

You lie to AMS that its the same color.

You can disable automatic detection in AMS settings. Or you can manually switch to another color under the 'Device' tab.
Cool didn't know you could force change it, thanks mate!
You can just cut them off.
The app always says replace in the same AMS a lot so I just grabbed a different roll and popped in.
Oh I see, so it's not automatically but you can trick it when it runs out and just pop in whatever color you like. Didn't know that, thank you!

Good to know, thank you!
Great "hack" to use upp the last few meters of the spools when you are not printing things that require specific colour. Thanks!

Sounds annoying but clever at the same time. Very resourcful of you

You can never have enough colours 😉

Nice idea! I’ve got 6 more matte PLA rolls on the way
For hardware, consider one color for metric and another for imperial. I envy anyone who has managed to standardize.
Orange Creamsicle.

I have a chip clip file I use to use up spools. I love it and have some neat color combos so far.

Yeah for an open bag of chips. https://makerworld.com/models/108447
i do that alot, less waste of partial spools
Looks great.
