12.3.1 Running out of filament
Running out of filament
will no longer cause a print failure
. If you run out of filament, the
printer will automatically pause the print, unload the remaining few centimeters in the
heatbreak, and move the X-carriage away from the print. You will be prompted to replace the
spool and insert a new filament. Use pliers to remove the extruded filament from the loading
process. After that, you can continue in the
current print
.
12.3.2 Filament jam
The sensor can also detect a filament getting stuck. Unfortunately, in most cases,
it’s not
possible to recover the current print
, because it’s hard to detect the exact moment of the
jam happening. However, in a future version of the firmware, we plan to offer a few more
options to possibly save the print.
When the jam is detected, the printer will try to unload the
filament. However, this may not always be possible if too much filament was already ground
off. Either way, the printer will stop, display a warning about the jam happening, and cool
down to prevent any further damage.
12.3.3 False sensor readings and debugging
You can encounter false runout readings from the sensor. First check if the sensor is
positioned correctly and connectors are properly seated.
