Hey all,
I posted this on the BL Reddit group and didn’t get an answer…
I don’t know how to pause a print and then change a filament. Seems simple, but internet searches have come up empty.
I have a P2S running an HT. I know how to insert a pause by layer after slicing. But when I do that, the old filament is not able to be swapped out and is stuck in the extruder. If I put a change filament after slicing, the print does not stop and nothing happens.
What am I missing? TIA for your help!
You need to use change filament but you also have to define that second filament and select it for your filament change

Awe! So by selecting the other filament it will pause and let me swap?
I can’t answer this question off the top of my head right now, but I’ve always done it differently:
- Set a manual pause in the slicer
- Waited until the pause is active
- Went to the printer: Press “Unload Filament”
- Inserted the other filament and pressed “Load Filament”
- Resumed printing
Because if I understand you correctly, that’s the problem here, right?
Then all you need to do is: “Unload” the filament - during the pause.
Surely there are several ways to solve the problem…
When I did a pause, the P2S would not let me change the filament on the screen, it was not an option unfortunately.
