Extruding filament before every print.

I installed the latest firmware to my printer and beginning of every print, it will extrude filament. It will make a beeping sound telling to take off the filament from the extruder and putting back again. Is this new to the firmware and is it possible to turn it off somehow??

RE: Extruding filament before every print.

sounds like your IR sensor is slightly out of adjustment and the printer thinks the filament is running out and needs a change

Did you install the correct firmware? Do you have an MK3 or MK3S?

Bear MK3 with Bondtech extruder

My MK3S MMU2S combo was doing the same thing until I recalibrated the filament sensor in the chimney. Been stellar since then!
