When you forget to change filament

When you forget to change filament and time is everything. 

Originally was Black abs but needed it to be Blue abs. Pulled the filament guide out from the hot end and snipped the filament. Removed and replaced black spool with blue and gingerly fed the hot end untill the gear grabbed.

Gave a nice effect, didn't hear any popping; very smooth transition.  

But according to Marcin, no one should ever need to pause during the raft ;)

Indeed, but why not just implement it?

Yeah, works a treat Andy, I do it all the time with left over spools of Z-Materials so as not to waste anything.

Usually always use the short left over lengths for rafts then feed the new spool in....
