Filament change on every print?
I'm puzzled. On every print, I see the following happen:
- Bed probing, that's fine
- Purge line, that's also fine
- Immediate filament change, huh?
- printing normally after reloading the same filament.
Any idea what's causing #3? Is there a setting I should have to avoid that? It seems very strange that immediately after the purge line, the head pops up and unloads the filament, prompting for a filament change?
Puzzled!

I found a solution. Looking at the gcode, I saw an M600 command (filament change) early in the file.
Switching to PrusaSlicer 2.6.1-rc1, the same profiles, the gcode no longer has the M600, so it seems that this has been fixed in 2.6.1!

Worth noting, I'm using PrusaSlicer 2.6.0 with the Mk4 profile, only thing I've changed is to use Gyroid infill.

weird!
Have you tried to re-run the fil.sensor calibration?
I'm not an expert. Ma parlo anche italiano 😉

Hi, drllama, did you manage to change the standard infill in systems settings. If so, how did you do that ?
thank you

Updating to the newer version of PrusaSlicer was all I did in the end. Apparently it was a bug in the slicer...
