Pause at layer 8?

Hello,
I have an Ender 5s1. What code and where to place it to pause at layer 8 is in Simplify 3D so I can change filament colors?
Hope that someone can answer me. Thanks in advance!

Re: Pause at layer 8?

There's lots of other threads on the forum talking about this, but the general process is to figure out what gcode command your printer requires to pause, then add something like this to the Pre Layer Change script in Simplify3D (assuming M0 is your printer's pause command):

{IF "[current_layer_number] == 8"}M0 ; pause at layer 8
