Printing stopping in mid print
OK, just came across a new issue that I'm having. I'm trying to do some prints with PETG and having some problems. It keeps sporadically just stopping in the middle of the print and going to the corner and prompting to unload the filament and to put filament in. I have plenty of filament on the spool and can't understand why it's doing this. At first I thought maybe the filament was binding on the spool but even when I ensured there was plenty of slack on the filament, it would still do it. And this might occur multiple times during one printing (which my object being printed wasn't that big).
Can anyone give me any idea why it might be doing this?

Likely you are using translucent PETG
Disable filament sensor

Nope, sorry I didn't mention that, it's solid black. The filament itself is a shiny black.

Shiny black PETG will cause this problem. Disable the filament sensor.

OK, I did that and so far haven't had any further problems. Thanks, I didn't know that situation with that kind of filament, but good to know.
