Look closely
and you may see that this part printed with 3 different filaments. What happened was I wanted to print this as a test to see how some new geometry I developed was working. But I used a nearly empty spool of filament since I wasn't particularly concerned with finishing the print. It started to run out at around 30% complete, so I thought I'd test out the Atom2's firmware Pause Print & Move function.
Well it worked perfectly! The printer stopped, moved the printhead up about 2 inches, and kept the head temperature constant. I was able to change to a different spool of yellow filament (also nearly empty) and then selected Resume Print. I was pleasantly surprised when the print continued without leaving any signs of what happened.
The same thing happened near the top of the part, and I repeated the process again. This time I was a little more careful and interrupted the print when the printhead was doing some interior fill material, but again the finished part shows no evidence of any interruption.
Since most of the parts I print are large I have a number of short spools of filament. Now I know I can use them all up.

That's what I expect for my coming ATOM 2.5EX. thanks for sharing; I had hard time for big parts too.
