Hello, I have this piece of acrylic 5mm, I want to make 50 squares/holes on it.
All holes finish with: G00 Z5.000 in the G-code file, and then start the next hole.
Is there a way to insert a pause after this line, and a way to resume without a LCD? I mean using only Repetier Host app?
I am aware that Repetier has a PAUSE button but it pauses after some time, I need more precision.
It would be like a tool change with manual resume.
I’ve edited the gcode for 3D prints to use Repetiers @pause feature to do filament color changes. I haven’t tried it yet for the mpcnc.
To insert the pause, you can use the gcode editor window in Repetier, find your G00 Z5.000 and drop your cursor immediately after it, hit “enter” to insert a new line of code, and then type “@pause”, without the quotation marks. That’s it. When Repetier gets to the @pause it will stop and you’ll get a popup on your monitor that you use to continue the print.
Repetier will allow you to move the tool head in the x y and z during the pause and once you click continue, it will return to the correct position before continuing the code.
In Repetier you are also able to configure what it will do during the pause automatically. I have mine configured to go to X0 at a high rate of speed to minimize an ooze nuggie on my print.
