[Cura 3.2.1 Pause at height plugin doesn't work for me]

B-morgan..

 

Well.your new layer code you sent works a treat. (Layer3 file)

Just printing a 2 colour file i made in TinkerCad and it pauses perfectly!

 

I manually change filament at this point.

 

The only issue i had was during pause and it says "do it" , it turned my hotend off and continued to print with no extrusion due to heater being off.

I saved it by quickly turning the heater on as it only had lost 10degrees..

But it knew heater was off.

 

Maybe this was a standby setting i had , but a heater off warning and an extended pause until rectified would be nice. (A visual warning or alarm beep)

 

Its only by fluke i noticed the heater got turned off.

If i left it it would be printing with no extrusion.

 

Apart from this glitch which i believe was my fault in a setting , it works perfect.

Thankyou.

Marty

 

Ps.. btw the beep flag ticked works fine.

Its a great alert to give a heads up!

B-MORGAN

thanks for the support here.

 

yep - the file locations are as you mention for a standard install.

 

On your first file with the .log extension , I placed this in the scripts folder and renamed it with just a .py extension as you stated to do.

I loaded Cura and the post processing didnt show the added file (which i left as PauseAtHeightorLayer.py) which would have been obvious in the scripts dropdown.

Why would it not show?

 

I am going to try your new file (.zip) and see how we go.

Is there a filename length to consider?

 

Not sure why it didnt show.. Any thoughts appreciated.

Btw...im using a tevo terantula printer..

Marlin firmware (bugfix1.0)

And slice using reprap flavour.

 

Will this M0 you mention be a problem?

Ive downloaded the .py file by b.morgan here.

Yet to try it.

Suggestions.

Gday b-morgan

 

I put your .py file into cura and did a restart..

It wouldnt show the file in the post process list.

What am i doing wrong?

I did rename it with only the .py extension.

 

And left full name of file.. i couldnt see it.

Help!

Thanks b-morgan.

 

Will try your file tomorrow on an stl that failed today.

This was my first attempt using post process and according to threads i found , it sounds like a glitch.

 

Im running...

Cura 4.0

Repetier host platform

Pc direct - no SD card 

A Tevo Terantula with

Marlin bugfix1.0

[Pause at height]

When slicing ..have you got a little symbol like a dirt pick next to save to file?

Maybe you played with post process settings..it stays all the time until you clear it.

 

Goto post process and X any out..turn off.

Easy to do and forget to turn it off.

The symbol at the bottom is the only indicator its on in the background.

Did we get a working result?

 

A fix to no extrusion issue after resume printing?

Thanks
