Does not extrude first g1 after a pause
-
I tried pausing and resuming prints many times yesterday. In every case, extrusion started again at the correct place. However, I found and fixed two issues in the pause code:
-
The setting of a variable that controls the extrusion on resuming a print may not have been correct in some cases. This didn't cause a problem on my printer, but could perhaps explain the problem on your printer.
-
It was intended that if a move gets segmented (for example because it is an arc move, or it is a long move with mesh bed compensation enabled, or on a SCARA printer), the print could be paused between segments if the allowed jerk was high enough. But the printer never paused between segments.
These fixes will be in 2.0RC6.

Sounds good, looking forward to testing it.

Sorry, it still do not work.
And on top of that, pausing in the middle of a G2/G3 move is messed up - it will pause and when continuing it moves to a semi-random point, then makes a wierd arc to the endpoint (while not extruding).
I will try to film it.

It looks like it's not re-calculating the center point (which is relative to the start point, remember) but running a new arc code with the "same" - but now offset - center, is that possible?
Do you seperate the arcs into piecewise linear sections? If you do, can I please decide the segment length?

EDIT: FORGET THIS POST, I WAS WRONG, IT STILL FAILS WITHOUT PRESSURE ADVANCE.
Ok, I found a hint, it only fails to extrude after a pause if you have pressure advance enabled.
Try with M572 D0 S0.1 ;Pressure advance 0.1sek
I don't really need pressure advance, so I'm fine with a "known bugs" note for now, if you want to release.

Ok, better hint:
It only happens in absolute extrusion mode.
This will not extrude after a pause:

Thanks, it's on my list to retest this, using absolute extrusion mode.

Ok, cool.
Did you have a chance to take a look at the pause-during-arc-moves problem?

I'm sorry, that one slipped off my radar. The extrude-after-pause issue is fixed in firmware 2.0.
I've added resume-after-pause during G2 and G3 moves to the work list for firmware 2.01. The simplest fix would be to defer the pause until the arc move has completed.

that would be a bad solution though, quite often I need to make a stop to clean a jammed extruder or something like that, so the current behavour is perfect, you just need to recalculate the center when you continue.

The disadvantage of allowing a pause in the middle of an arc move is that it will be necessary either to store additional information in each move segment to record what the original XY coordinates were at the start of the arc move (so that the centre can be calculated properly), or to read back through the print file when resuming to establish what those original XY coordinates were. The first requires additional memory, the second introduces additional complexity.

The Extruder problem has been fixed in the latest version.
Thank you.
