Change Filament / Resetting
Posted: Fri Feb 21, 2020 5:25 am
Sorry for n00b question....
I tried (for the first time) adding a pause so that I could swap filament half way through my print. The printer paused as I instructed (via Cura). But the Change Filament option wouldn't appear. Normally you choose Preheat PLA before, so I clicked that, but it gets itself stuck and then says heatign failed, reset printer - meaning I have a half finished print!
2 questions:
1) How do I effectively do this so that change filament option appears?
2) If a print fails for any reason, how do you restart the printer and get it to resume without scrapping the first bit?
