Print suddenly stopped, asked to remove filament several times.

My print suddenly stopped and asked to remove the filament, several times. The first time, the filament didn't unload automatically so received the message "Please open idler and remove filament manually". I opened it and removed the filament without issue. Next I closed it back up and loaded the filament. It extruded without any problems and I can confirm that this error is not due to a clog.

I restart the printer and after the 9 point bed level check, she runs the initial test line in the front left corner before starting the print (like it does every time). Immediately after this test line, I received the same issue. I unload/reload just like before and when i restart it I get the same issue.

After 3 more attempts to correct the problem, I tried a different brand filament. Same issue.

I don't know what to do - I don't know what the problem is, has anyone else experienced an issue like this?

Try disabling your filament sensor in the settings menu

Re: Print suddenly stopped, asked to remove filament several times.

This is to my knowledge dependent on the filament color/reflectiveness due to the optical nature of the sensor. Only happened to me with black (PETG). Still I see no trouble to having the filament sensor permanent off.
