pause and plant/insert

[rforeman]

While the print is printing you can go into the display menu on the printer and find the setting "pause at zpos". All you need then is how many mm print before the pause. When it gets to that point the printer will pause, move the build plate down and home the nozzle. At that point you can insert what ever you need to insert and press unpause. The print will continue where it left off. I have done this a few times with inserting nuts and when my cat passed away I did it with a Urn I printed out for her ashes.

And there you go, the most simplest solution and it works, thanks rforeman.

I have to be dead honest.. I so rarely touch my printers control panel these days, I use change filament and pre-heat, I rely on the software to do everything else, seems like that was my downfall! I wonder if my old flashforge has the option....

Artisan, if you can't manage that then... well there is no then, you can manage that.
