Posted · Color change not working

I tried to do a color change  and just can't get it to work.

in Cura (v3.2.1) I  set post processing mod-Gcode  (  installed the new PY script to  pause height or layer)  selected layer I wanted and   setup other options.

I had two issues

 

when the pause script ran all the actions happened,  it didn't stop (I assumed it would)  ie print head moved to the side backed out  filament and let me attempt to load new color, but then it went back to printing. and when it did  the new color wouldn't extrude

 

paused via control panel and fed  filament til color changed and resumed. at this point it  started printing but the new color didn't come out.  I tried a few time, but it would just move the filament in and out of the head without actually printing to the bed.

 

ended up canceling print and then manually moding the gcode file to start the print just after the pause code. this seemed to work. print finished a little worse for wear, but usable.

 

So  I assume I did a few things wrong any  help/ suggestions on what to do differently next time would be a big help./

Regards,

      • Release Notes: S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 (Latest)

        Dustin posted a topic in Firmware,

        S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
