What are your favorite prints when you have too little filament left on a spool for anything interesting and you just need to finish it off?
Filament spool clips, small zip tie extrusion clips for various electronic bay updates
Depends on lots of things, but I’ll either feed it through in real time to an ongoing print until it gets in the boden tube, or for my direct drive, it’s got it’s own run out sensor so I’ll use it there and just join it up.
I mostly print stuff for DnD and wargaming, so I just run off a few 25mm bases - I can always use them!
If it’s a one off filament that I don’t have more of and don’t plan to restock, I just use it for bed leveling tests and the like, or on prototype prints that can have multiple filaments. For ones that I have more of, I just keep an eye on the printer when it’s running low, and shove the new filament in as the old one runs out. I don’t even bother with a runout sensor or pausing the print, I just let the old one fuse with the new inside the extruder and call it a day
