How to command printhead to come to the front.

Since i am having issues with filament sticking on the nozzle, i want to be able to clean the nozzle during a print by pausing. So is it possible when i pause a print to bring the print head to the front of the glass door so i can clean it? And then continue with the print

It is possible. You will need to slightly modify the “Pause at layer” to add a homing cycle to bring the nozzle forward. Details can be found here.

XY homing when paused

Edit: @JonRaymond beat me to it - but here are the details: NOTE: I have not yet tried this myself. I’m lucky enough to be on a sunny island some 4,500 kms from home. If you try this at all, be prepared for misbehavior until me or someone else (you?) can confirm. Find “Pause G-code” in your printer profile. It looks like this: M400 U1 Trivially add the gcode for homing XY (and some comments) so it looks like this: M400 U1 ; Pause for user intervention G28 X Y ; Home the X and Y axes in case…

One thing about pausing is the head stays hot and some filament may try to drain. When you resume it doesn’t revisit a purge tower if you are using one but instead goes back to printing. Best to pause during infill printing or support printing since when printing resumes it can take a moment to restabilize.

Try drying the filament.
