I am running repetier .092 and the pause function
is driving me crazy.
I want to swap filament colors in the middle of a build.
It moves the head to the front right corner where you can't
get at the filament to change it.
If I use the position jog to move the head where I can change
it, the resume command is no longer there.
Anybody got a trick or mod to the code to fix this?
Unless you have outrageous large hands you should
be able to reach the top of the extruder through the top or front door at all time and still load. The issue though is the color change will be a fade as there will still be some of the old color in the extruder.
I guess that is what I will have to do, don't know if they ever plan on fixing this in repetier.
Reach through the front with one hand to retract the roller and in from the top to pull and reinsert the filament.
I have done it many a time with xyzware pause as it move the head to the back right.
It makes for some interesting color blends.

They will, if you report it: https://github.com/luc-github/Repetier- … .92/issues

There have been some people that have made a filament fuser where they fuse the end of one color to the end of another so they can feed one continuous filament without pausing. I have seen some do many colors in one print this way.
The trick with the fusor is making one the will soften the filaments enough to get a good bond but still keep it round and within dimensional tolerances.
What is the park position in RH set for ? Sounds like 0,0,0 . Try changing this to a more convenient spot.

The issue is he wants to stop the print midways and change filament the resume from where it stops. Pause will remember those coordinates as long as you dont move the head by hand or jog.
Park will move the head to 0,0,0 and erase the last known coordinates. It would be like starting the print over.

Jogging is fine, just don't let it bump into anything and skip. It will remember where it is. In fact jogging is essential or your nozzle will burn the part while you load in filament.
I am using RH 1.0.6 for some reason this version does not auto park . I have to hit the park button in the manual screen.
i did do a test print and hit pause . the nozzle does not move . if i jog it jogs and then i can hit continue and it continues.
If I pause then park it parks then when I hit continue it continues. .
so you may want to update your RH . but is seems each version has its personality and quirks.

I use Cura now as my host. I prefer the interface as well as the slicing speeds. I also like the top surface finish it makes much more. No pause or psrk functions for me. If I did try tie dying I would just figure a way to fuse the filaments end to end.

park will move the print head to whatever position you tell it i have mine set for 180,180,min 50
sounds like different versions of rh do indeed act differently. also lots of settings to choose from in each.

So when YOU park, then click resume yours will move back to the exact point it left off at? What if you wait too long, will the new layers still stick to the old layers as well as if you never stopped?
maybe not as smooth as not stopping but did go back and star where left off. and fairly smooth transition.
I have a sd4 and the home position is set for 200, 200, 0 . the park position is set so it does not home or hit limit switches.

Are you jogging with the davinci control panel or through the RH manual screen?
Tin
I should have pointed out this is using pause with the SD card, the
way I usually print. no USB cable connected
I have found out that after SD pausing from the LCD panel that if I
don't touch the home button I can jog the head around and "resume
print" ok.
If I use the home button it cancels "resume print" and is no longer an
option.
I have also wrote a pause code script that I can embed into the gcode
at just the right spot and have the head move away, beep and pause
while I change filament, add a bolt or whatever I need.
In S3D you can advance the build layer by layer for the precise spot.
This is probably more convenient as I don't have to stand and watch it
so close.
Here is a picture of a quick build I did to check the code and change the filament color in a single extruder.
If anybody is interested I can upload it.
leenanj, I'll be glad to try your code.

Here is my pause code, it has been working good for me.
Add this to gcode at correct layer:
--
; START of pause code
G1 Z10 ; lower bed
G1 Y5 ; move head
G1 X30 ; move head
M300 s1500 p400 ; Beep
M300 s1000 p400 ; Beep
M300 s2500 p400 ; Beep
M300 s2000 p400 ; Beep
M25 ; pause
M84 ; stop, idle, hold
G90 ; set absolute program 0
; END of pause code
---------------------------
Example:
'Add pause code here right before layer change that you
need to pause at'
; layer 2, Z = 1
; tool H0.4 W0.48
I never had luck at this. I changed/replaced new spool when ran out and if head is moved even a mm print wont restart. also had melting as described above if paused over print. never knew/read anything b4 about using park or other way to make this work as told above and resume print where left off. filament change out whether running out or trying to retract 100% so replacement feeds without jamming is about as consistently good as a coin toss. lol got a 50/50 chance of things going bad and head being moved trying to fix the issue of leftover filament not letting new feed and digging out a piece is impossible without bumping head.
also the fuse item is very hard to calculate where to do it and get color change at right place. for multi colors get a multi head unit installed its much easier.
The SD card pause has been fixed in repetier with the latest firmware version.
The bed lowers a little and the head now parks itself in the right rear where you can get at it.
I can confirm it is working great.
Thank you

Do you mean there is already a Repetier .093 ?
