Hi Bob,
Can you share what you did and how,
I have the same problem.
I would like to know the process to add a nut by pausing the print.
Regards,
Heartman No problem,
I used simplify 3d, created the drawing, sliced it in Smp3D found the layer that was at the top of the nut where it is going to be printed over noted the layer, created the Gcode, went into Noted Pad and did a find for the layer directly below the line number I placed this code
G1 Z60 F900; move to Z60 at F900 speed
M0; pause
ran the code on my UM2 at this point the machine paused allowing the time to insert the just press button and print continues
hope this helped
Bob
Hi,
Thanks bob for your answer.
It's what I do actually,
except I use the "@pause" command
I'm under Repetier firmware, and it seems doesn't recognize the M0 gcode command.
I expected a way, to add under S3D a part of code,
in the scripts>tool change G-code just to avoid the external editing,
but I don't know how to indicate which line it make the move and pause.
Anyway, thanks again for your time.
Regards,
Could someone please send me the Process setting file you are using on Simplify3D. I have tried the Ultimaker 2 with no luck. For some reason it just doesn't extrude enough material.

I don't know Simplify3D, but i think you will need a few more lines around the "M0" command.
Just a suggestion: you could slice the model with Cura and use the "PauseAtZ" plugin. Then take a look at the generated gcode to get an idea...
AFAIK it makes a retract, moves the head out of the way and then pauses the print with M0. After resuming it moves the head back to the former position, reverts the retract and continues the print (it's not rocket science...).
Of course the print head can be moved - you just have to avoid to do this "by hand"... ... but this would be pretty unlikely, because the steppers keep enabled during the pause - so don't worry!
To find the correct position in the gcode file just search for the appropriate z-coordinate. Why do you need line numbers...?
