Print start issues
I own a Prusa XL 5 Toolhead since about a month now. Since one week (no firmware upgrade or anything else) the printer behaves strange when I start a new print.
At first everything seems fine, the printer does the initial calibration, cooldown, checks the spots for the print and then, the right toolhead is already mounted, the printer unloads the toolhead and then stops. No updates on the display, no further progress. After a few minutes even the ETA times vanish.
The current way around this issue is to pause the print and then resume. As soon as the printer resumes it loads the correct toolhead again and everything works as expected.
How can I avoid this behaviour? When I assembled the printer every print just started right away without the need for manual interaction.

Strange. Is it unloading the filament? I'm wondering whether it's a hardware or software issue. I'd double-check that you didn't inadvertently introduce a pause on the first layer in your project. If not, then it sounds hardware/firmware related, in which case I'd get on the chat with Prusa Support, because they're one reason you paid the big bucks for a Prusa printer.

No it just parks the toolhead and then waits indefinitely. OK I'll get in touch with the Prusa Support. I just wanted to check if anybody else has these issues.
