[I'd suggest you hold onto your money for now and read up on concrete printing for a while. It seems that you've got a lot to learn about it. If you got a system with a concrete pump, you'd want to stop the pump while the machine was paused. Electrical relays can do that on a low-voltage signal from the controller. What's really crucial about printing in concrete is the mixture used. Most concrete will slump to some degree; if it's not being pumped into a form, then you need a mixture that will support itself without slumping at all. Something like that will be hard to dispense with a normal concrete pump, which is designed for a liquid mixture. You'd need something more like a piston (which would need periodic refilling), or a heavy-duty peristaltic pump]
Printer will print perfect...
