What happened? 

The filament sensor on the Prusa CORE One, and on the Original Prusa XL, MK4/S, MK3.9/S, MK3.5/S, and MINI/+ can detect filament runout, but also whether the filament is moving regularly or not. 

In case of a detected blockage close to the filament sensor, the printer shows the message "Fil. Sensor Troubleshooting. If the filament sensor is unresponsive, clean it from debris. Alternatively, you can disable it".
