Multi part delete during printing

Is there any way to delete or skip a part, in identical multi part prints and yet continue and finish the others.

I had one of 10 parts break loose from the build sheet. Would be nice to mark and skip over the bad part without starting over or trying to remove the filament as it extrudes in the missing part space.

Thoughts,

Thanks Mike

Yes you do it from the printer.  It's in the menu.

You can also cancel from Prusa Connect if you use that.  It’s even easier than canceling from the printer; you can see the objects graphically and choose the one(s) you want to cancel.  😉

MK4S/MMU3

Nice to see Prusa Connect has that functionality. I get similar functionality in OctoPrint, but the OP didn't indicate that they used OctoPrint so I didn't bother answering.

Thanks for all your comments.

I recently switched from an Mk3s MMU2 using Octoprint, to an MK4s. Just getting comfortable with the new controller and software so it’s nice you all chimed in to help. Thanks so much.

FYI, if you are missing features of Octoprint on your MK4S and still have the hardware to run Octoprint around, it does work on the MK4S. You'll just need to upgrade the USB cable to one that has a USB-C connector on the printer side. I use Octoprint with my MK4S with very few issues. I also have my printer logged into PrusaConnect so I can install the latest firmware if I learn about it while at work. Just like on the MK3 series, when printing through Octoprint the printer's print timer doesn't increment and power protect doesn't work. Additionally on the MK4S when connected to PrusaConnect, the PrintHistory and Statistics tabs don't collect any data similar to the on-printer print timers. I also wouldn't expect the cancel objects feature to work in PrusaConnect (I haven't tested), but that feature is in Octoprint. If you have heard about filament changes, jams, and filament outages not working with Octoprint, that is old information. I don't have any problem with Octoprint getting confused if the printer needs to pause for any reason.
