Form2, grey cartridge just ran out, mid print. Does the machine have any idea how much resin is left? The machine is about 5 hours into a 10 hour print. The resin tank is more than full. But the print has stopped? another grey cartridge is 2 weeks away.

Right now, the printer cannot tell how much resin is left in the cartridge, but it will notify you when it can not longer auto fill the resin tank.
