overture petg gold filament problem

I'm using mk3s and after a few seconds the print stops and says unload filament and then reload. This only happens with the overture petg gold color filament other overture petg filaments print fine. Can the color  be causing this issue?

RE: overture petg gold filament problem

I just printed with this same filament on my Mk3 and XL, and it printed fine. Maybe you need to increase the tension on the drive gears?

 Thanks Aaron

I'll try increasing the tension on the drive gears, didn't know if the filament sensor had something to do with it.

Hi Aaron

 I increased the tension on the drive gears as you suggested and it worked. Thank you very mush for your time and help.

You're very welcome; I was hoping it would be that easy. Because I did not have a good plan if that wasn't it. 😆
