Continuing after aborting the print

Post by Fran »

Hello, I'm new, not sure this is the right section to post. I was wondering: is there any chance you could start again an aborted print modifing the slicing file? I mean, could I possibly remove the code already done to make a new print starting from the exact point I've left it? Like having the very exact coordinates?
Also: suppose it's possible, is it convenient to start again considering that the plastic underneath would be too cold to grant a good attach? When I pause the printing it's basically the same, it seems to me it doesn't compromize anything, so might not be a problem.
Hope this makes sense, thanks in advance for the answers!

Hello Fran!
And welcome to the Forum!
I'm afraid, that continuing a print after an abortion is a task for the printer firmware.
Too many values have to be known: XYZ-Position of the print head, line number in the gcode file and maybe some more.
Josef Prusa has included this nicely into the I3 MK3.

Concerning your second point: warming up that top layer can be done be printing the new layer quite slow, like the first layer on the print bed.

Hello EddyMI3D! Thank you for your reply and I'm sorry for writing mine so late.
I supposed it was a matter of firmware, although my printer (http://www.3ntr.eu/ model: A2V2) when I abort gives me the coordinates of the point of abortion, so I thought ti could have been possible to make it. Is there maybe anyone using the same printer as mine here? If yes, how can I find them and ask?

I suppose it's another printer right?
