Pause at layer

Post by Padela » Fri Oct 05, 2018 4:07 am

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?

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.
