Would it be possible to use the 3D Chameleon as a filament changer when filament run out sensor detect empty roll? idea is to have the possibility to load 4-5pcs 1kg rolls when printing big prints (3-4kg) no colour change, just big print. Yes i know it is possible to buy 3 and 5 kg rolls, but avalibility is not that big on big rolls of correct filament type. Thank you for your help!

Yes, you can use something like Octoprint to monitor several filament sensors to trigger (and inject the tool change) at the right time. It only needs one I/O to do that with the appropriate sensors (which are daisy chained together) and a simple Octoprint plug-in to monitor it and trigger the custom script.
It can also be done with Klipper with a macro.
