Printer is asking for unloading and changing filament randomly during printing
Hi, since yesterday my MK3S+ is randomly stopping, goes to the front left and asks to press the button to unload the filament like a filament /color change was triggered, although there is nothing in the gcode. I checked the sensor readout but this seems to be normal, also rebooting the printer didn't solve the issue. Anybody an idea what could cause /trigger this behavior?

First check no connectors have shaken loose - including pull and reinsert at the einsy end.
Then check whether the filament sensor status changes when filament is inserted/removed from the sensor (LCD menu) and finally temporarily disable the filament sensor (LCD menu again) and see if a print completes.
Come back if problems persist,
Cheerio,
