Where is the filament sensor located and how do I make sure it is empty?
I just got my (pre-assembled) CORE One, trying to get through the calibration, and I feel like an absolute idiot. What is the filament sensor? Where is it located? I am supposed to check that it is empty, but I can't find anywhere that shows where it is? "Is filament in the filament sensor?".
There's a long piece of orange PLA sticking out through the PTFE-tube, so I was guessing that no, the filament sensor is not empty. I ran Unload, and not much happened (some filament was extruded, but the whole PLA-piece is still there. Running the unloading again yields nothing.
What am I supposed to do at this step?

I could just pull out the orange filament and start fresh with the included Galaxy Black one. Friendship with frustration ended, Prusa CORE One is my new best friend.

I have the same issue with a brand new assembled Core One!!!
But even after I was able to just pull out the orange piece of filament the printer claims to put filiment into the filament sensor which I already did about "a thousand times". On the display the left dot change from OFF to ON when I hear the filament reaching what I believe is the first sensor and changes to OFF when I extract the filament again. But this it all that happens, the filament calibration does not go any further...
Full frustration with an expensive printer where the manufacturer claims to be able to "Print in less than 5 Minutes"... 🙁
