  1. I am still playing tag with Creality tech support but in the meantime I have stumbled upon a workaround. If I select BQ(M25) instead of Marlin(M0) it pauses as expected. Once you have changed your filament, or completed whatever it is you needed a pause to do, it just has the extra quirk of you have to go to the LCD menu and select "pause", even though you are already paused, and then select resume. I have tested it several times while waiting varying amounts of time in order to make certain that it did not auto-resume. The M25 command is defined as "Pause SD Print" and as it happens, I am only printing via SD card at the moment. So I do not know if this alternative solution will work for anyone printing via other means. Hope that it helps.
  2. First, determine which part of the model it is where you want to pause. Typically there is either some visual transition or you just want a somewhat arbitrary color change. Load up the model and then slice it. This will give you access to preview which will then give you a slider bar on the right where you can slide all the way down to the first layer and then iterate up the layers until you either find your transition or you determine enough of the model has been built to warrant your desired color change. The horizontal bar at the bottom simulates the printing of the model at the given layer. Once you find the layer, go to "Extensions" > "Post-Processing" > "Modify G-Code" and add in the pause at height/layer script.
  3. I actually did come across that in my earlier searches, noted it and plan to test it out tonight. I was just hoping to find some solution to being able to use either that script or some newly modified variant which supports this apparent Creality change first. Thank you. Also, I opened a ticket last night with Creality tech support so hopefully they will reply and reply with helpful information.
  4. Which printer do you have and which version did you update to (and from)?
  5. Here are all of the specs available. It is an Ender 3 Pro, purchased at the beginning of this month (2021-02) with absolutely zero electronic or mechanical modifications. It has an LCD and the only identifier on the attached circuit board there is ENH12864Z-1 VER1.0. It also has a quality control sticker on it with the date of 2020-07-06. For firmware it is running Marlin v1.0.1 which has a date of 2020-04-25. The mainboard is a Creality V4.2.2. Since this thread seems to have been marked as solved... Is there a possibility of getting it opened again or should I create a new one? And invite at least Vanadium and Mcmuffin60 to join in?
  6. It is an LCD, running Marlin v1.0.1 and I am not sure how to tell which mainboard it has other than to say it is stock and only a couple of weeks old.
  7. I agree that this does not seem to be solved. I just got an Ender 3 Pro, using Cura v4.8.0 I attempted to use the "pause at height" script so that I could change filament at a specific layer. Everything looked fine, no errors but the printer did not pause. The only indicator I had was that the timer had been at about 3 hours and when I returned to check on progress, I noticed that the timer was showing 2 minutes.
