Great Job with Power Panic

I just had a power outage at the house with a 9Hr print (5 Hours in).

When the power came back on I just hit resume and it worked.

AMAZING ,

RE: Great Job with Power Panic

Good to hear.  I came home this week to find all my appliances with flashing clocks, but my printer was still running.  Even stranger, I left it printing at 120% speed and when I came home it was running at 100%.  Not sure what happened but found it odd power panic didn’t trigger and the printer continued printing even though the power went off long enough to shut down everything else in the house.

If there's just a "blip", the printer will automatically resume. According to this page:

In case of a very short power failure, the printer will attempt to continue printing immediately without waiting for user interaction.

That would explain the speed being reset to 100% (as happens on reset) while the print resumed.
