[ADDED] Gcode pause function

I have a Dremel 3d45. The Dremel people tell me that the firmware can support a "Pause" command. Could you
please make that available. Thank You

Re: Gcode function

S3D can already add gcode at specific layers or locations in the print. What exact gcode command did Dremel tell you to use?

Re: Gcode function

I didn't ask. I simply asked if the firmware would support such a command and they replied "yes". I should mention that I am brand new to the S3D product and have no idea how I would specify the command other than selecting a specific option on the dashboard. What I'd like to see is the option presented the same way the start/stop option is displayed.

Re: Gcode function

Ok, well ask them what exact command to use. Once you know that information, I bet we can help you add it correctly into S3D.

Re: Gcode function

Greg Herker at 3PI Tech tells me that his engineering folks are contacting Simplify directly. I'm hoping this can be done quickly because I really need this function.

Re: Gcode function

According to the RepRap G-code reference wiki (https://reprap.org/wiki/G-code), M600 is supported by Marlin (the flavor of G-code Snapmaker uses). It's defined as a filament change pause, but I suppose you could use it for any purpose.

Re: Gcode function

The OP asked about a Dremel printer, and I don't believe that uses the same command as the Snapmaker.

I believe the Dremel machine uses G5 to initiate a pause. So if you want to pause at layer 75, just add the following to Edit Process Settings > Scripts tab > Pre Layer Change Script:

{IF "[current_layer_number] == 75"}G5

That should pause the Dremel 3D45 at that layer.
