I used Prusaslicer to add a “pause at layer” in the gcode then transferred it to SM for printing. However, it didn’t pause at all and finished til the end. I thought if it’s in the Gcode then the machine should pause? Or am I doing something wrong? Thanks!

Ah, I was thinking of M600, not “pause at layer”. The octoprint plugin that enables it is Rewrite M600 - For M600 Unsupported Looks like it just does some gcode when it sees an M600 (filament change): M117 Filament Change G91 M83 G1 Z{zDistance} E-0.8 F4500 M82 G90 G1 X0 Y0 Then it waits for the user to hit resume in octoprint and hooks in some more custom gcode: M83 G1 E-0.8 F4500 G1 E0.8 F4500 G1 E0.8 F4500 M82 G90 G92 E{comm_instance.pause_position.e} M83 G1 X{comm_instance.pause_position.x} Y{comm_instance.pause_position.y} Z{comm_instance.pause_position.z} F4500 Looks like it gets those comm_instance variables by calling the octoprint pause, which pauses the print and stores the current data. This plugin should work perfectly fine though for any instance of “pause the print so I can do something to it” (I’m assuming @iwannasee wants to maybe put magnets in the print or something).

Snapmaker Firmware supports the command M600, without any parameters. Examples With no parameters [ M600 ] uses the settings in Configuration.h . M600 ; execute filament change Once M600 is executed, the machine will let users to change the filament. This feature will be added in the next version of Snapmaker firmware. Cheers Edwin

@Edwin is there an estimated time frame for the next machine firmware update?

I was told that tests have completed. The next firmware update is about to be released in mid-May. Sorry for the inconvenience. Edwin

Sounds great, thank you for the update.

Thanks everyone, looking forward to the new firmware update!

@Edwin , will M600 be back ported to the Original firmware?

Not yet. M600 can be used with Snapmaker Firmware 1.12.1 or later version. Sorry for the inconvenience. Edwin

M600 would be a welcome upgrade. Now it would be nice if Luban would show or give a status on a layer that the SM2 is printing or allow users to see individual layers after it slices things to help me identify which layer is best for the pause (M600) to be inserted.

Does Snapmaker support pause at layer?

Snapmaker 2.0 (3-in-1)
