changing materials in the middle of a print

[aag 5]

Let's say, I start a print on a UM S5 with Tough PLA, and I run out of filament at half of the print. Can I go through the filament change procedure, but load something else than Tough PLA? The printer asks me what material I am loading, so in principle I presume that I could do that. But when Cura had sliced and sent off the g-code, it assumed that everything would be printed with Tough PLA. Is that going to be an issue?

nobody really? I tried it now, ToughPLA->PLA. The printer objected with a warning, which I overruled. Let's hope that I will not screw up the whole thing...

In theory it shouldn't matter, you would just have to change the temps and whatever else but it's a common way to get dual color prints without dual extrusion, you pause the print, change the filament and resume.

Thanks. So, the UMS5 printer will not automatically adjust the temperature, even if instructed that the replacement spool has a different material?

I don't know, I don't use an Ultimaker printer, but if you can select different mateials as an option mid flight, I could imagine it would.
