The equipment has become very reasonable going from thousands to hundreds of dollars at the

The capability of integrating other materials and parts into builds is not universal.

Prusa slicer and other allows for this but the firmware implementation is not universally enabled at the printer controllers.

In the Gcode After pause box, if you enter the "dwell" command G4 S300 (where S is in seconds) then you will have 300 seconds (5 minutes) to change filament, insert a nut, whatever. At the end of the "dwell" the machine will restart on its own. Once the line is read by the printer there is no way to shorten the time and there is no way to make it longer. You will have X number of seconds to finish what you want to do, and then wait for the print to continue. That is not the same as a Pause command that you can restart at your leisure.

I have this issue as well. I power cycle the machine, then use the "Axis" menu to raise it a good 4-6 inches above the print. Then I "Home" it from the LCD menu.

So the best way to do this currently in Simplify3D is to use a Post-Processing Script. This option is found in the Scripts tab of the Process Settings. For this example let's say we want to pause a standard Marlin machine at Layer 10. I would enter the following line into the Post-Processing box:

{REPLACE "; layer 10" "M0\n; layer 10"}

This will replace one of our Layer comments with an M0 followed by a new line and then the Layer 10 comment again. So the code is basically the same but with the M0 now placed before Layer 10 begins printing.

M0 is the standard pause command for most Marlin machines but some will accept M600 and a lot of printers with Repetier based Firmwares will take M25. I hope this clears things up a bit but feel free to ask any questions you might have.

Our technical department has tested the Anycubic Kobra and found that the printer does not support the serial pause command (the printer does not support the transfer of pause commands via USB)

This means that even if the pause command is added to the gcode file, Kobra will not be able to perform this operation, whether by using a camera or another device.

If you have a Prusa printer, you can support this operation by simply adding the M600 command when slicing and then exporting the gcode file and uploading it to the camera for printing. The printer will automatically execute the M600 command to pause printing at the specified height and allow filament to be changed.

Of course, our technical department is currently developing a new product that will allow all printers to support pause printing, change the filmament and continue printing when printing through the camera after using this new product.

This new product is expected to be released in July. When the official release, we will issue an announcement

Ender 3: Pause at Height Isn’t Working

Cura Pause at Height command may not work correctly on newer Ender 3 printers with 32-bit chips. This is due to a difficulty with the M0 pause command in the G-Code being read correctly.

After inserting the Pause at Height script, save your G-code to overcome this issue.

Edit the M0 pause instruction to M25 in the G-code file using Notepad++. You should be fine to go now if you save it. Check out this page for further information on editing G-code in Notepad++.

Generally speaking, if you do not have a filament runout sensor functioning on the printer the pause at height feature will not work.

Off the top of my head, I believe it’s a G60 and G61 commands that need to be enabled with the runout sensor. They are used for Saving the current position and Returning to the saved position. Marlin by default will not enable them without the Runout sensor because unless you are doing precisely this they are actually not usable in any other circumstance.
