Pausing, removing model, continue

Is there a way to pause a print, remove a model from the build and then continue?

I ask because if I print 20 models (example) and 2 didn't adhere to the bed, they start to make that beautiful little squirly mess as the build progresses. I'd like to pause the build and not continue with those 2. Any way?

If you mean to say you want to pause the print, and then skip a big section of the gcode file you are printing (to skip an entire model), then start printing later on in the file, I don't think that's possible. But you could just make a separate gcode file for each part and then pick which ones to print and skip that way.

But I couldn't continue from the layer I'd already got to. :-(

Feature request!

If you want to continue from a specific layer, just use the "start printing at height" option on the Advanced tab. I've used this many times to restart a print that failed at a specific point.

I really wish this was possible without always whipping out the calculator...
