Sorry if this is a stupid question! I’m super new to this whole thing.
Basically I’m running a 26 hour print overnight, and leaving for work straight away in the morning. I’m worried that my printer will run out of filament (because as said, I’m really new to this and idk how much filament will even be used) midway through while I’m not there to pause it, and I’ll have to start the entire thing again and waste a bunch of plastic.
Will it just stop printing when there’s no filament left? Or have I made a huge mistake here?
What happens if my printer runs out of filament midway through a print?
