Interrupt printing with M0, wait, reload material and proceed with a "full" nozzle
Hi there,
I occasionally interrupt the PLA/PETG printing process with M0 (after the slicer has created the program, I alter by hand) and put some metal inserts into the print and continue. While time passes by the material "drops" out of the nuzzle and the first few movements run without material. How can I get the nozzle to reload and continue? Like the process when you change the color on a particular higth?
Thanks to the community
Best Answer by RandyM9:
Why not just use the ‘change color’ routine and continue with your same filament?
if you can imagine it - if you can design it - you should print it!
Make the impossible - possible!

Can you use Add a Pause (M601) in Prusaslicer instead?
There's also a Prusa blog article on this topic: https://blog.prusa3d.com/practical-uses-of-color-change-in-prusaslicer_59563/
RE:
looks good - makes it easier, but how to make sure that after 10 minutes the nozzle still does have material? I could imagine that I move to an corner and run the extruder a bit with an additional line:
G1 E.5 ;and press the material out of the nozzle and continue the print

too easy - well done. But I will move to the opposite corner instead to be able to insert my stuff ...
