pause at particular layer in gcode from sd card

ekaggrat

I think this question has come a lot of time in the past and i cant find a satisfying answer to it. I tried m600 but that doesnot work from a sd card print.

Is there a way to stop a print at a given layer ?

I need to stop the print to insert fabric and then continue the print

sorry if this a duplicate question but the answer to it is not easy to find

thanks

For sd print

- M25 - Pause SD print

then you just continue the print. Make sure the head is not over object when you pause or you get a blob.

thanks for the prompt reply! . it works like a charm . i have one issue though. The command seams to timeout in some time. what is the timeout period? I need a longer duration to pause to glue the fabric pieces in place before continuing the print! thanks again

There is no real timeout, but there are timeouts to disable heaters to protect extruders. See in eeprom editor there are 2 timeouts near top that can be disabled with 0 value.
