  1. Thank You Guys! I will try these suggestions. I can make separate STL files that's an easy fix. That's again, Paul
  2. Hello, I have a question I’m printing a Text and a Figure on a Wall Hanging Plaque I sculpted in ZBrush. It’s Watertight and all the Text Letters and Figure start on the same layer. Is there any Setting, Script or Model Creation Technique that I can set the text and figure to start printing at the same layer after a completely smooth flat layer has completed? Cura 4.12.1 slices my model so the infill continues from the bottom for both the text and figure making the surface not as smooth as it could be if the text and figure started printing after a flat layer. Photos attached. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks Paul
  3. Hi Greg, It seems there is another issue that I've discovered with the Post Processing Pause at Height Script. I've had 3 failures in my last 4 practice attempts. My printer has a Filament Brake Sensor. And I've discovered when I go to change the filament at the pause it seemed to work for only a layer then it stops extruding but the head is still moving. It turns out that when you pull out the filament it stops the bed from heating, which stops the extruder from heating also??? So I had a second Filament Sensor, I plugged it in and stuck a piece of filament in so it didn't trip when I swapped out the filament and that works, L0L. I thought this could help any users out there that maybe having Issues whit Post Processing Pause at Height feature. Paul
  4. Greg, I've been working on this all Night and Day. I did try the old script from both 4.6 and 4.5 and got the same results. So I uninstalled Cura deleted and folders or files left behind then reinstalled it still not working. I went to my laptop installed 4.5, Same results. Went to an old PC with Cura 3.6 it worked!! I went back to my main PC and reinstalled it over the top of the 4.7.1 install and WOW all is working now. Don't know what fixed it but it works so thanks again for all your help. Paul
  5. I tried the old script from both 4.6 and 4.5 and got the same results. Absolutely no pause code in the gcode file. Oh and I removed and reinstalled Cura still no pause. Bug reported and they closed it an hour ago with out a fix?? https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura/issues/8373
  6. Greg, Sorry to bother you again I updated to 4.7.1 and tried a Pause at height test print again. It never paused at height just kept on printing. So I opened my Gcode file and searched for "M0, Pause, Change-Color" and they came up as not found. I re-sliced and searched again with the same results?? I can only conclude the Pause at height Script is not working. Oh and I have not edited the script as you suggested. I re-sliced with the change filament script and searched my Gcode for M600 and found the line --M600 E30.00 L50.00 X10.00 Y10.00 ; Generated by FilamentChange plugin. It printed but with a Blob on the tail. Attached are the 2 prints. The first with the Pause at Height failure and the second with the Change Filament script. Thanks again. Paul
  7. Greg, Thanks a bunch for the clarification! I just wanted to be sure of my understanding so I didn't ruin prints. Attached is my first successful 2 color test print. I've had some failures with text plates that just paused for a second and kept printing. O Well got it now!
  8. Thanks Greg for all the useful info. I've used the pause at height to make name plates and it worked well in the older Cura. I have a highly modified Creality CR10 S4. I'm still confused as to the Disarm label does it lock the steppers for the time set 0 to 1800 seconds entered? Or does it disengage the steppers? I have a 3.5 day print job pending and I want to make sure the steppers hold at the pause so the print continues the layer where it left off. Thanks again!
  9. In Cura 4.7 Will Setting the 'Disarm Timeout' to 0 Lock the steppers until you're ready to continue? Or Free them up? They need to be locked long enough to change the filament. I've used pause at height in earlier Cura but 'Disarm Timeout' setting was not available.
