Filament Stuck

TBD -- Needs photos of relevant screens

When the printer is printing filament can pop off the spool and get caught around the spindle. If this happens the printer will stop waiting for user input. If you are midway through a print the screen will likely be black as well. Just tap the screen to wake it up. There should be a telling you to check your filament and press continue when good to go.
