Adding a Pause, continue prob

brian

Problem restarting after a pause in the gcode.

{REPLACE "\n; layer 18, Z = " "\n; layer 18\nG1 X0 Y0\nM300\nM0 Click to continue\n; layer 18 "}

The pause happens but in the restart or continue is not available;

So I cannot restart the print.

Where is this generated, what slicer are you using?

From what I can see the g-code produced from this containes a "M0" - that says: Stop or Unconditional stop (see docs here)
So the printer is actually doing what you told it to

if you want to pause the print at a specific height you should use "M226" in your g-code (see here)

@marvineer thx for your reply. I will check your info. The resume failed in S3D, the code was generated by Budmen at this site https://budmen.com/support/user-guides/pause-print-at-layer/

I have just succeeded using Prusa slicer, without having to add any code manually. Prusa is now producing better quality prints than S3D, thankfully.

Time to move on.

If you're doing the pause for filament swaps checkout M600. I believe Prusa slicer should be able to insert those and you have complete control over the process using filament-change.g
