I wanted to pause a print because I can’t let it run over night. For this I pressed the “pause” button on the top left in Luban and turned the device off. After I turned it on again and connected to Luban, it looks a bit like the progress is not saved. I don’t want to risk that the head collides with the unfinished print. I also couldn’t find anything regarding this in the documentation.

Is that right? Is pausing a print not possible when power is turned off? Is it really rocket science to implement this?

Pausing with extruder fully heating will cause the nozzle to clog (filament is baking in there). Last night I wanted to pause a long print and since it was not possible to change the temperatures I shut off the machine and did a recovery this morning. Since the bed is slightly warping when heated up it resulted in a slight printing error (similar to la…

This does not work. It seems that Luban is garbage software.
