How do you deal with the end of a filament roll?

Sure after I get it I will do a review with pictures.
I am not sure it is worth it but I wanted to give it a try.

There is a heating element and they don’t show how you activate to heat.
This one shows it better. Mute the sound!

i just had the same thing mark. i had 6-7 abs spools that had just a small amt on them so that what i burnt up on the bomb parts i was making. its getting painted anyway so colors didnt matter. couple things to note. dont let the filament end run down in the drive and think youll just feed the new stuff in right behind it. that doesnt work. pause the print, NOT STOP, bump the extruder in the x or y a couple times to get the tip off the model, retract the old, feed the new then resume. you should be good to go.

I think the only time "chasing" the filament remotely works is with a Bowden setup. I agree I've almost never gotten it to work with the filament drive.
