Almost out of filament - printing RMaxV2 from SD

Printing a large print, 20+ hours, and it looks like I will be running out of filament before it completes. I'm using the SD card on the Rostock Max V2 so I don't know if I can pause the print and swap out spools or what. I don't see anything in the LCD menu which would allow me to do it. On top of that, new filament is days away.. haha.... Any way I can pause the print, kill the heaters, wait for filament, replace filament, turn on heaters, extrude a bit, then resume? I know, I know, people in hell want icewater right.

Thanks
Chris

No problem anymore! I didn't run out of filament. It would be good to understand if there is a way to pause a print from the LCD panel though.

If you go to the SD card menu, there you'll find pause print.. I tried it 2-3 times, but when resuming the print, it totally failed.. started at the wrong place or at a different layer hight,it seemed..
