Mk3s stops multiple times requesting filament change. Filament sensor is OFF.

Been happily printing for a few weeks now after upgrading my printer to Mk3S. Mostly PETG, some ABS and Nylon, a little PLA.

Printing a job today with no name PC that I’ve printed successfully with in the past.  Profile is stock PolymakerPC max, Slic3r 1.42 beta 2 win 64.

The print is coming along just fine but it has stopped 3 times now and demanded a filament change. The filament sensor is OFF.  What gives?

RE: Mk3s stops multiple times requesting filament change. Filament sensor is OFF.

What version firmware?  If I recall, there were some sensor issues in 3.5. 

Also, any chance you loaded MK3 firmware instead of MK3S?  A few have done that and had strange issues.

And one last thought: any chance you've played with Slic3r settings that deal with an MMU and/or mutiple filament colors?

I also noticed this issue when using the Slic3r beta. It seems that it is very easy to unintentionally add colorchanges by clicking inside the slider bar in the layer view.
