printer stop mid printing to ask to unload the filament.
Hi everyone. regarding the issue mention above, does anyone know why this happening to me? i just started playing around with ironing function today, hence this issue happened. my printing just started normally but then mid print, it stop to ask me to unload the filament, then loading it again. when loading the filament back again, there seem more than normal the filament that oozing out from the nozzle, but then i just clean that up and it resume printing like normal. but this happened 3 time already, 4 hour since i start. total 8h printing duration

There's really only two possible culprits: You inadvertently inserted filament changes into your gcode, or your filament sensor is acting up. More likely the latter. See https://help.prusa3d.com/article/ir-filament-sensor-troubleshooting-mk2-5s-mk3s_112226

try printing the washer from thingiverse

and insert the washer between the filament sensor and the extruder housing, to raise the sensor a small distance.
