Pause at layer

hi to all, I need to stop printing on a certain layer in order to insert a bearing, then resume printing. Using Cura's post processing plugin (3.5.0), printing stops, but then fails to restart.
I tried to manually insert these lines in the g-code:

Code: Select all

G91
G1 Z10
G90
G1 X0 Y180 F1000
M400
M300 S300 P1000
M0
G91
G1 Z-10
G90
The press stops, but starts immediately by itself.
Any ideas on how to solve my problem?
Thanks in advance!

I cant help you with your g code but as a temporary solution could you not just hit pause on the LCD screen at the right time, put the bearing in then hit resume?

Hello.

Is the

Code: Select all

M0
command correctly operated :?:

Probably not.

In fact, it does not work!
Nobody can help me solve? Are they really the only ones interested in inserting bearings, nuts or magnets in the prints? :o

Hi
:mrgreen:

I use slicer Repetier-Host.
And from the level of this program I can pause the printer correctly. :D

Additionally, when I make some manual movements after a pause, the position of the head is restored to its initial state when the pause is over.
So you don't have to create this functionality, because it is already created. ;)

How was it working?
If you print through SD card, please click pause print on LCD;
if print through USB, pause the print through the software.

There is no way to put the printer in pause through g-code and resume via LCD?

Hi
;)

In my opinion, that is not possible.

Upgrade.
Smartto supports G4 command.
In a few days, a list of Gcode commands supported by this Firmware will be available.

:D
