When using pause at Height, the resume position is ruining my prints

Posted · When using pause at Height, the resume position is ruining my prints

Hi,

I am using Pause at Height to change filament colours.

I print a small disc with my actual objects so that when the printer resumes it starts to print on the throw away small disc so as to settle down the filament and not to ruin the actual print.

However on some prints the printer resumes at the edge of the actual object and as it squirts filament out at this point, ruins the print.

Is there a way to specify the resume position so that I can be sure it always starts on the small disc?

Any help on this much apreciated.

    Hey @iansapsed,

     

    Welcome to the Ultimaker Community 🎉

    There are settings you can change to influence the Squirt of Filament. 
    But they are all dependent on the type of printer you have. Which printer do you have? Perhaps there is someone on the forum who has the same printer as you do who can help you out. 

    You can test the following option in the Post Processing Plugin
    - Filament Change (instead of Pause at height)
    - Pause at Height, but select a different Method
    - Pause at Height, but increase Retraction


    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.
