I am a new user of Prusa MINI and recently I had a problem with filament tangle. It was my mistake and I suppose I know why that happened. What bothers is me, is what may happen if I haven't noticed this. I can image quite bad scenarios if the relatively heavy filament spool gets lifted up to the extruder. So I am wondering is there some safety precaution to prevent this from happening? Something like extruder motor overload detection?
Thank you
