Filament Sensot not working
This seems to coincide with upgrading to FW 3.14 but could just be a coincidence since I haven't used the printer in a while.
When autoloading filament the filament isn't detected and the extruder doesn't engage.
This isn't a huge deal, I can manually load filament.
- Have no "unload" ability because it doesn't know its loaded
- Printing works fine
- Can't perform 1st layer calibration which is kind of essential for new filaments.
The wires are all good and getting 5v from the board.
I can't find the replacement part in the store. It says "PRUSA Laser sensor" rev 0.2e
It has 4 pins. It looks like possibly the IR sensor might fit physically but it only has 3 pins.
Are there any known issues with the FW that could cause this? If not, how can I get a replacement sensor?
RE:
I have exactly the same problem ony MK2.5S.
Everything was working prior the update, i did print the same day and it was fine.
Updated from 3.14.0 to 3.14.1 and it looks like the sensor is not detected anymore.
I will probably downgrade.
Don't wanna buy new printer just yet as mine is working fine.

I had the same issue with the 3.14 with the filament sensor not being detected. I have an MK3

No answer from Prusa on the community or support for a year!
I bought an AnyCubic. I'm so freaking happy. Prusa was my first and I didn't know what I was missing. I can't believe I keep upgrading that POS year after year.
They lost a lifetime fan and everyone I can influence over an ounce of communication.
RE: Filament Sensot not working
Does anyone have a solution for this? I just updated to 3.14.1 and now I can no longer autoload filament and worse I can't turn off the sensor in settings so I can't manually load filament either.
