2nd Printer, MK3S and MK3, slice for both?
Yesterday I assembled my second printer (MK3s) (first time assembling one!) and I also have an MK3. I have several models sliced for the MK3 that I wanted to copy over to the MK3s so I could print any of my models from both printers. When I try to print one of the MK3 models on the MK3s there is a message on the display saying something like "this gcode was meant for a different printer profile do you want to continue".
Is there a way to disable that message or do I need to re-slice the models with the MK3s printer profile?

Another possibility would be to change the hw-settings -> controll in the printer (LCD) settings:
Nozzle: warn
Model: none <-
Firmware: none <-

This is only a status message. The gcode should normally be printable on MK3S without problems. The only difference is the filament sensor, which should not affect any function.

Right, but I don't want to have to push the button to start the print (I'm using Octoprint). Or does it just continue without pushing the button? I assumed that message had to be cleared so I always just pushed the button before any printing started.

Try to disable or comment out M16 (printer name).

or, if available, comment out this line in start gcode in the slicer:
M862.3 P "[printer_model]" ; printer model check

Thanks. I know I can comment out the gcode in future slices. But for the current gcode files I already have I was hoping I could somehow suppress that message without having to alter anything. Not a big deal at all. Thanks again.

Another possibility would be to change the hw-settings -> controll in the printer (LCD) settings:
Nozzle: warn
Model: none <-
Firmware: none <-

This article describes the menu system BEFORE firmware 3.9.0 for the Original Prusa i3 MK3S:

This is what I was looking for. Thanks!
