Change behavior of auto-refill to account for filament stuck on spool #4141

Open abomb60 opened 1 month ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Some spools have a hole for the beginning of the filament and sometimes the AMS cannot pull the filament out of the hole; also it appears that Bambu has taped the start of the filament to some of their cardboard spool cores so this will cause the AMS to not load the end of the filament and causing an extruder stuck error (Extruding filament failed. The extruder may be clogged. [0700 8007 113622]

Describe the solution you'd like Enhance the logic so that when auto-refill is enabled to automatically switch to the next like filament in the AMS. I'd rather have a few meters of filament left on a spool than a failed 48 hour print.

Describe alternatives you've considered Only alternative is to babysit the printer/AMS and snip the end of the filament or manually remove the tape from the Bambu carboard spool core before the error presents. If the user does this then the AMS does switch over to the next spool when auto-refill is enabled and configured correctly.

This is my issue as well. The Auto Refill feature is great, but it's pretty useless if I come back to a chunk of tape-wrapped filament stuck in the AMS, which has now happened more than once.
