Rescuing a print half way through/changing filament
Posted: Sun Jan 10, 2016 8:39 pm
Hi there,
I was wondering if anyone had tips on rescuing a print half way through. I recently encountered a scenario where the print spool ran out mid print. It continued to air print for a while before I discovered this.
I was able to figure out the layer it got to but couldn't easily see a way to make the job start at that layer.
I modified the gcode and loaded it into repetier host but the x/y calculations where a little off and I couldn't get it to work (spent about 3hrs trying).
Hoping someone here has had to rescue a print or change filament halfway through like this before and can share tips/tricks.
