Hi friends
I have a Wanhao i3 and would like to help with this.
Would be nice if I, for example, can use the stote button "start commander"
I press start = go
After line 250
Z go 10 mm up
stop
go
extruder 200 c
go
z go 10 mm down and run the program through to the end

You could use this post for starting a stopped print.

Essentially, you'd be stopping a print, changing the filament, then starting another print. There's a ton of ways to do this. I personally don't like printing over USB, so rather than using the pause function in the Machine Control Panel, I'd rather stop the print early, jog out the filament, jog in new filament, and start a second(modified) print file.
