“The machine consumables do not match the printed file. Please check and restart printing” What does this mean? What do i check? How do I fix this? I’m trying to the the spool holder and I keep getting this message.

I did not get this error but it seems that you did not setup the correct filament for the slot you are using. On the screen go to settings→filament then select the slot with the filament you want to use and set the type and color.

Same problem— I had to go into the device details screen and assign a filament to the spool holder.

Hi y’all,

I got the same error after getting an update message and installing the update to our K1 Max.
One work-around: send the sliced design to printer and then start the print from the printer.
Fix (for a single print): rebooting the printer :sweat_smile:
Edit: After the first print after reboot, the printer started throwing the same error. I did another reboot after and same again: the printer allows me to send and start the print this time again for the first print. I’d bet it won’t allow me for the next without a reboot.

P.S.: I think the update assumes a CFS system attached and expects you to define the filament, as @Senf_Meister and @dddaaammmooo pointed out. For me, shutting the printer down and rebooting fixed it, (edit: for a single print).

Regardless, I would say opting to using this filament setting inside the device details is a little fault-prone: it changes the pressure advance (read-only) and what-not settings by overriding your initial filament settings set on the Prepare/Preview tabs. We all know how much effort we put into those calibration tests and I personally don’t want to ruin them for myself. :face_with_tongue:
