I am printing from SD card, and being new at this venture, could someone share their procedure for changing to a new spool, same material, mid print on the Rostock Max v2 using the SD card...Thanks

In the LCD menu under the SD card menu there is a "pause print" option. Pause it, swap it, resume it. Should work fine (just try to pause it on the infil as to not screw up the perimeters).
If you have a specific spot you want to pause it and switch it at you can add some fancy G-code to lift and pause on that line.
