Better and simple way to implement the M600 (changing colors)

We need a better and simple way to implement the M600 command at specific heights.
In prusa slicer you can add it automatically with just a mouse click after slicing using the layer slider!

Agreed! Should be easy to implement with just a checkbox. Hope they make this happen!

does the prusa slicer allow the pause at multiple heights?

Yes, and place an m600 where you want just with mouse click! Same way for pause at a certain height...the m600 is the generic filament change. The pause at height can be m601, M0, M25, this latest one works with Artillery3D printers, need to test it with and ender for example, by I thing is the generic command for this!

+1 M600 at selectable layer heights

I want to mention that you can already add a M600 command at a specific point in the print using the V5 scripting options. For example, to insert a M600 pause command at layer 25, go to Edit Process Settings > Scripts tab > Layer change, and enter the following for the pre layer change script:
Code: Select all
{IF "[current_layer_number] == 25"}M600
That will pause the print automatically at layer 25.
If you want to pause multiple times, just duplicate that line multiple times.

Cool, we already know that...However I think a more intuitive way of doing this is crucial...

We help a lot of customers who do NOT know about the command I listed above, so just wanted to make sure everyone knew it was already possible to automatically insert a pause command in V5 using the steps above.

Hi,
just wanted to be sure what happens:
if I add this line to a specific layer:

Code: Select all
{IF "[current_layer_number] == 25"}M600
That will pause the print automatically at layer 25.
What exactly happens: is the print paused *before* the layer is been printed or *after it completed* printing layer 25?
Thanks,
Mike
PS: I use S3D 5.1.1, so if there is a better way in the new version, please advise. Thx.

It will pause right before that layer number.
