can't turn off the filament sensor

Just updated to the latest firmware slicer (2.0.0)and Mk3 (prusa3d_fw_MK3_3_7_1.hex). Are printing transparent bulbs for the moment and every time after having printed the "string" just before the real print begins the printer head moves to the far right front corner and asks for the filament to be unloaded. "Please press the knob to unload filament" After following the instruction for the reload of the filament the print starts. This happens again around 30 seconds before the end of the print and by unloading and reloading the filament again it prints the last part and finishes the print. This happens EVERY TIME now after the upgrade. I have disabled the filament sensor but it makes no difference?? I have also tried with black filament but the behaviour consists.

Any suggestions?

Sounds like the sensor is  not disabled. Double-check the menu and  try unplugging it entirely.

Thanks, vintagepc 🙂 I have dubble checked the menu and tried both on and off. I have printed a lot of this item before the update and the problem begun after the update. I have now tried to print with the sensor unplugged and the same thing happens?? Really confused!

Found the soulution. Went back to a older version of slicr and the problem was gone. I have probably done something wrong during configuration of the new version.
