Just enough...

I looked at the model.

Then I looked at the spool.

I told myself "Self, it's gonna be close, but I do believe there is enough to get to the color change."

 

And there was.

Been There, Done That!

A couple of times I got very busy (Distracted)  I finally put a "Ran Out of Filament Switch" to Pause the printer and wait for input.  No more printing without filament for too long, too many layers.  So far, the "kink" at the end of the spool has not been a problem.  I try to cut it off when it gets close to the end.

On that model there was a pause coming up.  If I would have had to manually pause a layer early it wouldn't have hurt anything but it made it to the pause.

 

I was kind of proud of my guestimating ability there.
