M25 not always pausing printer ??

joebrown

M25 only pauses my printer about a 3rd of a time...

it shows up in Gcode

sliced by slic3r
repetier host v2.1.3
printerbot simple pro

my custom Gcode:

{if [layer_num] == 5}M25 ; pink name

{if [layer_num] == 7}M25  ; white body

{if [layer_num] == 14}M25 ; pink dots

{if [layer_num] == 16}M25 ; yellow egg

{if [layer_num] == 18}M25 ;orange egg

{if [layer_num] == 20}M25 ; green egg

{if [layer_num] == 22}M25 ; white/pink  ear

{if [layer_num] == 23}M25 ; pink ear

{if [layer_num] == 24}M25 ; white ear

M25 is pausing sd print. How are you printing? Repetier-Server is not made for sd printing. Also check if slicer really added all the commands you wanted to have. Since you seem to print over sd card the firmware is in that case responsible for the pauses, not host or server.

im printing thru usb cable

Repetier

In that case M25 is the wrong command. Use
;@pause Pink

etc. to request a pause when printing over usb with our host or server.
