Here is the video of how the product works.

This is originally intended for users whom have short pieces of filament that are too long to throw away yet not long enough for a full print.

setup your "pause" code on repetier/whatever host software you use, to move the nozzle out of the way and drop temp, switch your filament manually, bring temp up, extrude a bit, clean junk, then hit "resume.


What sort of situation are you switching mid print? I always have to calibrate my filament.

[sorry that i don't have a lead, try "pause switch filament" as a search term.


Actually, I just did that using the "Site:soliforum.com" preface for a google search.

Here's an autopause thread: http://www.soliforum.com/topic/2516/wip … when-idle/

And here seems to be what you saw earlier: http://www.soliforum.com/topic/3870/hel … ing-wrong/

But I can't seem to find it via the search function hmm Any leads?
Much appreciated in advance!
