Slow Down Print or Pause - Waiting for more filament  

RE: Slow Down Print or Pause - Waiting for more filament

Posted by: @blillesand

I'm currently in the middle of a 3-1/2 day print.  

I will run-out of filament before the print is completed.  I should receive more filament tomorrow.

I've slowed down the print to 50%  in order to make sure I have more filament before I run out.  Are there any concerns with slowing down the print (PETG)?  If so, would pause be a better option and how long can I pause?

Thanks

As long as the printing bed heating remains activated, you can easily take a longer break. But I would pause the print at an invisible place somewhere in the area of the infill.

Never heard of this happening.  Good solution!

For 3 1/2 days of printing, I would inspect the filament supply beforehand as a precaution and, if you have the MMU2, set up several rolls and the spooljoin function. Had this case already - works without complaint.
