Resuming to print at a specific point after a pause
Posted
· Resuming to print at a specific point after a pause
The time on the screen is probably wrong. I'd just continue the print and it should be fine. There's probably a bug with the time calculation if you pause the print. No big deal.
If you aborted the print already then yes it should be possible. Keep the bed hot! If the bed cooled then your part is probably no longer sticking to the bed and it's too late.
I don't know the start up procedure on the UM2+C. On the UM2 it does a nozzle purge which involves touching the print bed in the front left corner. If this should hit your print then you can't continue the print. On the S3/S5/S7 printers you are out of luck because they do active leveling. But on the UM2+C I think you can do it.
Take your existing gcode file (is it a UFP? If so rename it to zip and extract the gcode file, edit and put it back in and rename back to ufp) and edit it. There are instructions on the forum of what to do. There are 2 steps:
1) Remove all the layers you don't want. Easy - there are comments in there - any line in the gcode with "E" in the name involves extruding so make sure any extruding is done well above your failure point. The tricky part is to find where it failed and you can do that with a micrometer or with trial and error.
2) reset the E value. Read about the G92 gcode. You want to fool the printer thinking it has already extruded the exact right amount of filament and use G92 to reset E to the correct value e.g. 1234mm of filament. Google G92 and "resuming" on this forum and you should be able to find it: google this:

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.
A year after the merger of Ultimaker and MakerBotQQ, we have unlocked the ability for users of our Method series printers to slice files using UltiMaker Cura. As of this release, users can find profiles for our Method and Method XL printers, as well as material profiles for ABS-R, ABS-CF, and RapidRinse. Meaning it’s now possible to use either Cura or the existing cloud-slicing software CloudPrint when printing with these printers or materials
