I get this error message nearly every time I print...
I always hit YES and it prints, but I'm not sure why it's coming up.

If you go to the maintenance item on the bottom left, how much filament (in grams) remains for the selected material. I would guess that if this amount is 0 or less than the estimated weight needed for the current print such a dialog would be displayed.
When adding materials, I just max it out to 9999 grams which should keep it content for a while.
It makes me wonder if the printer could stop when filament runs out and restart after threading new filament?

@HomerJay: You were correct. Interesting way to keep track of available filament. I change spools so often that it's rather impractical to keep it set properly, but I suppose that if I setup a weight scale and weighed each spool before putting it on the machine (adjusting for the weight of the spool itself.) It would be nice to know if I had enough material.

@pauland: It doesn't seem to have a filament sensor, which it would need to do that automatically.

I weigh every new spool I get and write that initial weight on the inside of the box. I also keep track in a spreadsheet. If I really feel like I need to know what's left on the spool, I just weight it again and do the math to figure out how much of the original 1kg is left.
Good tip, cyberhugger.
