using M600 filament-change-pause

Post by Tutorius »

Hi,

it is possible to put in some gcodes in KISSlicer or manually add them after slicing, so i thought about adding a M600-command to be able to change filament or be able to put in some parts (like nuts).

Has anyone ever checked this with a printer without a display or keyboard (running with b.e. pronterface or repetier host) how it is possible to restart the printing process after doing a change of filament or leaving a nut inside?

Thanks for your tipps!

In the extruder mapping, there is a "Pause after void" which can be used to insert objects into part-printed models.

M600 code can be added manually to the G-code (I use Notepad++ for editing the files); the files are liberally commented so it's quite easy to find the correct layer change to add the M600, but you may also need to remove the retract prime at the start of the following layer otherwise you will get a blob.

As for doing all this without an LCD, I have no idea, sorry.
