Constantly "Changing Filament"message on new machine?
Hi,
I'm new to all this and started off by loving my new Mk4S. Which I have had for five days. Prebuilt and very easy to get going on the basic setting. I have printed a number of test items and am still on my first Prusa supplied PLA filament. However, as of yesterday it has started showing the "Changing filament" dialogue on every print and just now three times on a 10 minute flat keyring print!
The machine present the dialogue, parks the head and I have no choice but to remove filament, clip the end and re insert as if new. And off it goes, only to present the same issue a couple of minutes later.
I hope this is not way things will go?
The first few days were a joy!

Sounds like an issue with the filament sensor. I'd contact Prusa Support via their chat. It's a new machine so you want to establish any warranty claims before futzing around with it based on more or less well-conceived suggestions on the interwebs. They can walk you through diagnostics steps and send you a replacement part if needed. Support is one reason you paid the big bucks for a Prusa machine,
