Trying Pause at Layer height - Nozzle not lowering on continue print

Posted · Trying Pause at Layer height - Nozzle not lowering on continue print

Hi, I have Cura and trying the Pause at layer height, I do the preview to get the Height I require I then put the parameters in Layer Height 159, Raise the Nozzle 20mm, Move the Nozzle 130mm (Y axis), from print to avoid purge on the print I have Park Print ticked my machine is a Voxelab Aquila X2, slice the settings then save to Memory card. when printing It gets to the layer Pauses, Raises the 20mm and moves 130mm from print. I change the filament color and hit resume print the Nozzle moves back above the print in the correct position, but the Nozzle won't lower back down to continue printing it just starts printing midair?  I have Alex's Firmware for my Printer

 

It's a 9-hour print so a bit difficult to pause the print change the color and continue the print as I could be in bed or out at work. I live in Australia so it's hard to get direct support 

 

Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated

    Hey @brettaus,

     

    Welcome to the Ultimaker Community 🎉


    I really like the Pause at Height functionality, you can do pretty cool things with it but it works different on each printer. So we need a little bit more information for troubleshooting.

    How did you add your Voxelab Aquila X2 to Cura? 
    Did you use the correct flavor for the pause command?

    Did it look anything like this?

     

    Do you have a project file for us? It contains the printer and settings we need for troubleshooting. 
    To save a project file go to File -> Save project.
