Issue with print after using pause at layer in bambu slicer

[ricemb]

Hello Everyone,

I am using the Bambu studio pause at layer in the slicer tool to switch out the AMS colors for a print that needs more than 4 colors. I’ve noticed on multiple different prints that the printer is off X and Y by 0.4mm (my extruder size) when returning from pause. Has anyone else used this and seen similar or not noticeable behavior?

I can provide pictures of the prints. I performed it multiple times and it seems like the 0’ing after the pause is not aligning with the previous 0 value.

I’d be curious to know how long the print sat waiting for the restart? I’m thinking its possible that the print could partially cool and shrink causing the offset. This seems unlikely for a short print, but if its taller than 15mm-20mm high, it might be enough to offset a half millimeter on a long pause. Just a guess though.

Its a known issue, some of the many threads on this forum about this topic with reliable workarounds:

Layershift after Pause - Change Filament - Resume

Hi there, I tried to switch colour after some layers printed without AMS. Have set a “Pause” in Slicer righthand at the preview-slider. Pause works fine, then I change filament with the onboard “unload-load” tools. After resuming (press play 1x) the print resumes but about 1mm moved beckwards on the printplate. How can I fix this issue? Have seen many others with the same problems after Pause → Resume

Pause at Height or Layer Height

I have the need to pause my prints at a specific layer height to insert metal ID tags before resuming. On my legacy setups, I was using extensions in Cura, or editing Gcode for some printers that required non-standard Gcode commands to make this happen. Can you please tell me how to set a pause using your slicer? Or what Gcode commands does the X1C use for pause? & Add that capability if it doesn’t currently exist. I’d hate to have to go back to Cura & my old printers because of this.
