Pause/Resume print

Still not clear.

Are you saying the carriage moves to the correct location for resuming BUT the printer returns to the paused state?

@fcwilt
exactly

Great.

And if you pause then resume using the Pause and Resume buttons on the DWC it all works correctly?

Frederick

@fcwilt
yes

Great - now I fully understand what you are doing and seeing.

What I don't understand is why pausing from the slicer isn't working. I have an idea but I need to try to verify it.

Perhaps we will get lucky and @dc42 will jump in here.

Pausing is working but resuming not ...

@Touchthebitum said in Pause/Resume print:

if state.currentTool != -1

Can you try to remove that from the resume.g?

[Touchthebitum]

@DIY-O-Sphere
Tried but nothing changed

Sorry - I meant that pausing from the slicer is not resuming correctly as opposed to pausing from the DWC which does resume correctly.

That suggests to me that the way the firmware handles a M226 or M600 pause is different from how it handles the pause initiated by the DWC.

Here is something to try - just a long shot.

Replace the M226 or M600 in the slicer with M400 followed by M25.

@fcwilt
same result

Not really surprised at that.

Have you tried pressing the DWC Resume button a second time?

Frederick

[Touchthebitum]

@fcwilt
yes , three, four times

[fcwilt]

@Touchthebitum said in Pause/Resume print:

@fcwilt
yes , three, four times

And each time it returns to the paused state?

Frederick

[Touchthebitum]

@fcwilt
yes

[fcwilt]

Can you open the gcode file generated by the slicer and find the place where it issues the M226/M600?

I would like to see, say, 10 lines of the gcode before and after that place.

@Touchthebitum

Thanks.

I don't see anything odd there - all looks fine.

Hmm... My slicer allows me to add my own gcode at different points in the printing

• the beginning
• the end
• layer change
• tool change
• filament retraction

Does yours have different places? If so is there anything in them?

Frederick

[Touchthebitum]

@fcwilt
it seems not
I can only edit the gcode on dwc

So that code at the point of a layer change is being inserted by something the the DWC?

I didn't know that was possible.

@fcwilt
no, I can do it manually on the DWC
