Pause and Resume without visible lines
Hi Everyone!
I would like to solve the following problem! I want to insert a magnet during printing. For this, I thought of using the well-established pause and resume solution. First, I inserted the "Add pause" line at the appropriate layer in Prusa Slicer. In the GCODE scripts section of Octoprint, I inserted the M602 command under the "Before print job is resumed" code. The solution can be seen in Figure 1, but unfortunately, the pause/resume boundary is visible. For my second attempt, I bypassed Octoprint and started the print directly from the SD card, but this also resulted in a similar outcome (Print 2). The third, and best result so far, was achieved using the "Add color change" command through Octoprint. However, this is quite inconvenient due to the filament reload process.
My question is: how can I solve this more neatly without having to change the filament?
Thank you very much!

RE:
The problem comes from the oozing when the print is paused.
Either use the filament change like you found (this can be added in-slicer instead of doing it through octoprint), or add a sacrificial tower that's as tall as the layer after the pause.
For the sacrificial tower, make sure that it prints first in order after the pause -- go to that specific layer in the sliced view, and drag the horizontal slicer all the way left to see which object starts first. If it goes for the main model first, re-arrange the parts so that the slicer shifts it to start on the sacrificial tower instead (sometimes the order of the objects can fix this, but other times the relative position on the bed plate is all it cares about).
