Can we have an option to add a pause at a specific layer after the print has started? I am printing a fairly complex piece and completely forgot to add a necessary pause in the slicer. I was quite surprised to see that it’s not possible to add it during printing. I will have to wait 7 hours now and monitor when the print reaches that layer so I can pause it.
I understand that the pause is normally set in the G Code but it’s still the printer itself that looks for that so perhaps we can add a second location for pauses where we can add them from the printer screen or app.
Just letting you know in case you need this option regularly: It’s only a workaround, but it almost fulfills the function you’re looking for. If I have read the documentation correctly, the program can also check layer.
A single line of code that checks the layer and, when layer X is reached, initiates a pause should suffice. In other words: “I forgot to include it in the G-code - single line script.”
Of course, this isn’t exactly what you’re looking for. It’s just a helping hand from me.
I am not at my computer right now but can’t you right click the bar that shows the number of layers and add a pause? Move up to the layer you want the pause.
Nevermind, that’s what I get for reading this with my glasses off.
