Is pause printing changed ?

Hi,

When I want to print using two colors, I'm using this G code inserted in Tool change G-code:

G1 X220 Y220 F3600

G1 Z56 F720

M300 S1000 P500 ; Beep

M117 change color to xxx

M601 ; Pause

But today, when printer has paused, the menu that I got, does not offer the Unload filament option...

Only Stop printing, Resume and something else...

This was working before, has it changed with new firmware ?

Or I missing something ?

Thank you very much

Manel

Use M600 for tool/filament change.

Hi Diem,

Yes... I know M600 and I was using it before read in a post that the sequence I'm want to use is better...

The change occurs outside the piece, so filament can not drop over your piece accidentally and you can add a message so you know what colour must be loaded.

But if pause cannot unload filament, I will come back to M600  ☹️

Thanks

From: https://cfl.prusa3d.com/display/PI3M3/Supported+G-codes

M600 - Initiate Filament change procedure M600: Filament change pause

Initiates Filament change, it is also used during Filament Runout Sensor process. If the M600 is triggered under 25mm it will do a Z-lift of 25mm to prevent a filament blob.

UsageM600 [ X | Y | Z | E | L | AUTO ] X - X position, default FILAMENTCHANGE_XPOSY - Y position, default FILAMENTCHANGE_YPOSZ - relative lift Z, default MIN_Z_FOR_SWAP.E - initial retract, default FILAMENTCHANGE_FIRSTRETRACTL - later retract distance for removal, default FILAMENTCHANGE_FINALRETRACTAUTO - Automatically (only with MMU)

So: Much of your code could be substituted by appropriate parameters for M600.

Cheerio,
