Color Filament Question
I built my Original Prusa i3 MK2S, and most is working, but when I use the "Load Filament" function, I get a question that says something like "Color Filament YES or NO" If I say YES it loads some more then asks me again, if I say NO, it finishes. Is there some new filament load sensor sensor I don't know about? What does this question mean and why is it showing up?

Re: Color Filament Question
It's asking if the hot end is extruding your new filament (i.e. new color/material), or if it is extruding a mix of your old and new filaments.
If it is a mix, you answer NO and it will extrude more filament to clear out the old filament. If you see your new filament color/material extruded than you can answer YES and your filament loading operation is complete.

O.K. Thanks. That makes sense. I guess something must have gotten lost in translation. When putting in a filament for the first time, its a strange question to be asked is the color clear?
