Pause a print in Cura
I am nervous about doing this as I have never done anything like this before.
I want to capture 2 nut in a print to give it some weight.
What is the best way to do this, I can easily add the holes to the model I just need the print to stop in the right place so I can put the nuts in the print and then let it continue and print over them.
I am using Cura 4.11.0
Thanks in advance.

Re: Pause a print in Cura
Well, Cura 5 won't run on my PC I get an error api-win-core-path-1-1-0.dll is missing.
I've tried to fix it but no joy.
Is it possible to pause version 4.11?

Re: Pause a print in Cura
I would think so, I would look for a filament change option and just use that instead?

Thanks Paul
I have looked at 4.11 & 4.13 and neither have an option to change filament, or any other way of pausing the printer.
I guess I'll have to think of something else.

I have always used a simple pause at height using Cura works in all versions.
Have also used a pause at layer height in Prusa slicer it works just as well.

It's a script you add, no wonder I couldn't find it.
Thanks I'll give it a go.

Re: Pause a print in Cura
Well the script works, well sort of, it only pauses for 2-3 seconds, then resumes automatically.
Is there any way to make the pause longer by putting in some g code?
I think the problem is the printer it's a JGAurora 5s and other people have had this problem.
Any thoughts.

Re: Pause a print in Cura
Well that is strange, when use the script pause at height stops until I press a key to continue.
I wonder if enabling the code below changed the way my pause works.

Code: Select all
#define FILAMENT_RUNOUT_SENSOR
#define ADVANCED_PAUSE_FEATURE
#define PARK_HEAD_ON_PAUSE // this one

Re: Pause a print in Cura
Well I didn't need to alter the code. I uploaded the new firmware and it all worked.
It had the original firmware and because the printer worked OK I never saw the need to update it.
Thanks for your help.

OK,
It was the version of firmware and not the lines that were enabled.
