Topic: filament problem

Hi, my problem, I only have 1 PLA original xyz filament (1), when I insert it into my 2.0A printer it won't print because the ABS filament (2) is also detected.
Seems that I cannot mix them? (PLA with ABS)
Removing the ABS is not the solution because it seems that the printer detects that there is a cartridge missing.
Is there a work around for this? Can I insert only 1 cartridge?

Re: filament problem

The 2.0 requires two carts to be present and both must be same type.

Printing since 2009 and still love it!
