Topic: Resume printing after crash?

How can you do something similar with Solidoodle?

Measure how high the part is in millimeters, go to that part in G-code, delete everything before it aside from the initializing commands, print.

Re: Resume printing after crash?

The only problem I find with resuming if it has been more than 30 seconds is poor layer bond.

The previous layer gets too cool and you get a poor bond and a weakness at that point you did the resume on.
For artistic parts no big deal. But a load bearing part it could become a liability.

Printing since 2009 and still love it!

Sounds like a solvable problem. Maybe with a small burning laser, slightly off focus, mounted on the extruder head, aimed just ahead of the point of contact. Heat up the prior layer just before the filament meets it. Only on for that one layer after recovery from crash.

Some observations from Lady Mox, perhaps?

In fact, why couldn't that be an always-on thing? A heating (slightly de-focused burning) laser, aimed at the prior layer just where the filament meets it, to ensure a good bond?

Maybe a CD burner laser?

I cans see where that may cause a problem with bridging.

Someone else asked a very similar question and I posted a possible solution here:

To print or, 3D print, that is the question...

Re: Resume printing after crash?

If you are printing from the SD card on the graphical LCD unit, then you can use the 'kill' button which I have remapped to a ParkPause function.

In my case, when I press the LCD button ( the kill button, not the rotary encoder ) the printing pauses, Z axis lifts +5mm, X goes to 5, Y to 225 ( which brings the print bed forward for inspection ).  3d printing service India

To resume, I press the rotary encoder button and the printer returns to its print position, and resumes printing.

If I do need to kill, I can use the ParkPause to pause print, and then reset the Arduino board.

Very nice, thanks. I don't have an LCD, though.
