Yep. I think other manufacturers do this with multi-material units, too. It’s a really clever way to handle the issue and one of my favorite features of the AMS. Spool running low? Just throw a second one on there, tell the printer they’re the same material, and bam. Wake up the next morning to an empty spool and a completed print.
Comment on Filament splicing? Do any of you guys do it?

Bambu allows you to automatically switch to a different spool from ams when you run out and continue printing, so this becomes unnecessary.
