can any body tell me is there a gcode reader that you can use to check files for pauses, my printer A30 on some jobs pauses up to 20 times on one print job it is starting to get me down
Thanks in advance

Hiļ¼there may be problems with some model slicing, or your slicing software has a pause command. You can try downloading the slicing software again and then slicing. Can your printer print the slicing model normally?

yes it did print the Buda properly when I got the machine new, but I have had to change the main board due to a fault, and I cant find it any more , is it possible for you to send me a small pre sliced anything that is in gcode and you know works , so I can test properly ,
Thanks
Martyn

Hi,you can find a cube or a circular stl on the Internet and slice it for testing.

I've reported this issue a long time ago and just started to work on the A30 again to maybe fix it, so I also checked the forum and found this thread.
I've switched to use Creality printers and don't have any "special" issues ever since. Normal Marlin firmware instead of that custom crap firmware and relyable hardware with meaninfgul error reporting make me happy.
Right now the A30 just stopped after 10 layers again and went into "Pause". And I'm sure there is no pause codes in the code at all. The same file works flawless on an A10, too.
So...
