Warning: Slicer Files
Warning. Do not try to print an MK3S slicer files on a Mini! I accidently loaded one and printed it and damaged med. It prints way too low.

Would the printer checks have caught this? I disable them, but I've only got a Mk3 Prusa printer. If you have a mix, might be worth leaving those enabled.

I will check. I did not disable anything, but I do not think they did.

RE: Warning: Slicer Files
Check Dependencies tab in Print Settings, default appears to be "printer_notes=~/.*PRINTER_VENDOR_PRUSA3D.*/ and printer_notes=~/.*PRINTER_MODEL_MK3.*/ and nozzle_diameter[0]==0.4 and ! single_extruder_multi_material"
I assume this ensures that the profile in Printer settings is for a MK3 with a 0.4mm nozzle.
Maybe the gcode you tried to print predates the use of dependencies.

I will check. I still use the plate but it is scarred.

Does the mini have printerchecks builtin?
I assume by the post that mk3/s/+ have it?

RE: Warning: Slicer Files
Gotta be careful with gcode files. They're basically like executable files on a PC. I won't ever use one off the internet. I only do STL files and slice it myself. You never know if someone put something malicious in it. Tom went over some of the particular nasty things people could do with them

@d0ug
I'm with you Doug, I never run someone else's gcode. I'd rather have my own control over the printer behavior and also not risk an improperly sliced file crashing the print head or some other bad outcome.
I know the printer is supposed to self-protect against many of these types of things, but as @cwbullet found, it's not 100% assured.
