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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
