Hi, I was wondering if it’s possible to schedule a pause in the print at a specific layer? If not, it would be a very useful feature for embedding an item inside a print. Of course it’s possible to do it manually but you have to time it and wait for the correct layer which is somewhat tedious and…

I haven’t seen that option anywhere in Luban. Cura has a post-processing script to do it (as well as others), but I haven’t personally tested it. I don’t what it does, or if it requires firmware support on the device.

You could select the correct line if you open your .gcode with wordpad or something similar, splitting your code into two pieces.

This is absolutely a standard function in normal g-code, it’s called an M00 command (those are zeros). And it is supposed to force a pause in the running program, which the user has to resume by pressing the “run” button. I have no idea if it’s supported though, certainly worth checking out!

That is where Octoprint comes in.

I get the appeal of Octoprint but I have so little need for it and no desire to spend the time or money to get it set up for what I do. Especially since there’s no reason SM can’t have pauses built in. It can resume after a power failure or filament runout, so obviously just a matter of enabling a…

I agree with you. Octoprint is necessary for me since I am too far from the printer to stay directly attached. If they would put a web interface on the touchscreen and give us the missing features, I’d drop Octoprint. It just seems easier to extend Octoprint than replicate it.

The following applies to a Snapmaker 2.0, cannot speak to the original: Yea, I just tested that too and found that M108 doesn’t respond properly. Looking through the firmware it appears that EMERGENCY_PARSER is disabled (due to a chip restriction maybe?) and I’m guessing the serial buffer is full /…

+1 here. While I have Octoprint set up and working, when I use it for a job instead of the SM2 touch screen, I lose features such as filament runout sensor and power recovery, and those are important to me, and even more so on really long prints of big projects. So, switching to Octoprint control wh…

Scheduled pause at specific layer in print job

I did not find a way to do this in Luban, but it is easy with Cura and Octoprint. The piece below was paused using the preprocessing script in Cura. After placing my magnet, I just hit resume on octoprint.
