Change filament during a print on a 3D printer Ender 3

[Nexxus]

Thank you for this! I'm in the middle of printing something pretty large and noticed I'm starting to run low of filament. Will definitely be helpful later on.

Okay so tip for people with more recent models of this type- instead of going to “tune”, just scroll all the way to the bottom. That’s where you’ll find the “change filament” option. It works just the same as in this video, the option is just in a different place :)

I also don’t have that option, Ender 3 pro with Merlín. What I did was pause print, remove filament by hand and insert new as deep I could, pray, resume print.

ahhhh nice short and to the point. Found out halfway that I might not make it with the current spool :). -edit- Not sure why I thought it would be hard, the toughest thing was the heartattack of the loud beeps lol. Also works perfectly well on an ender 5 pro.

I hated checking every 5 min to see if it was almost out so I could feed the next line in as it runs out, lol drove me nuts but this I gotta try

[brandonemig]

This is awesome. Thank you!! Any way you could tell me what that spinner of the woman is called that you have on top of the filament feeder? That is AWESOME!

[SMBLJ]

My ender does not have this...is it a newer software thing?

[vitaliydvorkin]

Why is the lcd ok the left? Is that a feature of the ender 3 or is this custom?

[andrewmendoza]

Yeah my Ender 3 doesn’t have the tune so I was wondering how I would change filament colors.

[lawrencepereira]

Can anyone help me with the firmware which has the change filament option for overnight printing. Even it should have auto leveling as well.

Ayo what was that extruder gear topper? 🤨📸

Cooling down can be a problem. Loss of bed adhesion

[ZombieManiac]

No matter which video i watch, my ender 3 doesn't have the same options other videos show... because I do not have that option at all.

[AckzaTV]

Dude this didn't even work but on my sunlu it changes filament easily. Mine is stuck on fucking USB mode only so I can't even pause without octoprint

[moecal]

This is for ender 3 V2 only I’m guessing? I don’t have this option on my Ender 3

[matthewantos]

What about it possibly skipping an area of where it stopped and resumed?

[alexanderhamilton]

Is this the $190 Ender 3? Or a different one?

[jimnans]

How to add that feature change filament i thinks its missing and hidden on my ender 3 can tell how to show it this feature?

[babyhermitcrab]

My dumbass for a month would sit there and wait for the old spool to run out and put a new spool in while it was running
