Can a transparent filament be a wrong choice when calibrating the filament sensor if it's used later with a more opaque one?
Hello,
I've calibrated both filament sensors of my XL 2T using some transparent PETG.
However, I have then loaded a spool of Prusa Galaxy Black PLA on one printing head. On this head I've had an issue of false alarms of blocked filament. The filament was not blocked at all.
I am wondering if the calibration of the filament sensor should be run again when there is such a change between a see-thru filament and a much more opaque one.

I don't think Prusa have used optical checks since the early Mk3. First check the diameter of the filament you used.
Cheerio,

It’s Prusament PLA…

Check the diameter of the transparent PETG you used for calibration.
