G-code is not fully comatible

Hello, I am new in the Prusa world. My MK4S is doing fine, but he gives me this message always before printing: " the G-code is not fully compatible- printer model doesn't match -fan speed will be reduced". And then it prints perfectly! I draw all the stuff in Rhino 3D, exported them as stl and created the G-code in Prusa slicer for the right printer model. Is this just an irrelevant bug of the printer, or did I make a mistake here.

RE: G-code is not fully comatible

Two things to check:

1. Make sure you sliced your code using the MK4S printer profile

2. On your printer make sure it is set to a MK4S, Settings->Hardware->Printer

 

My guess is your printer is set to a regular MK4 in the settings, as I got that same error when mine was after I upgraded.

all the g-codes the slicer created are for the MK4S printer and the settings on the printer are correct too.

In PrusaSlicer under Printers menu/Custom G-code/Start G-code the third line should read:

M862.3 P "MK4S" ; printer model check

 

Mine was set to just "MK4" and I was getting the G-code is not fully compatible warning. I add the "S" and the warning went away.

RE: G-code is not fully comatible

I tried this and it worked for me too.
But is this the right thing to do? 

When using the normal profile the custom G-code is: M862.3 P "[printer_model]" ; printer model check. So I presume it reads the printer model from somewhere.

When using the Input Shaper profile, the G-code is: M862.3 P "MK4" ; printer model check. So it is pre-set to Mk4. 

You cant save over a system profile, so to keep it there you need to save a copy with a differnet name and remember to activate that profile.

Surely it cant be right?
