Stopping / Pausing a print
Pausing and resuming a print
- To pause a print:
- Press the center button on the Viki controller circle
- Scroll to "Pause Print"
- Confirm by pressing the center button on the Viki controller circle
Please Note
- If you paused the print and the hot-end nozzle is in contact with the print there will become an imperfection in the print.
- If you pause the print and then move the print head you will need to home the X and Y axis before resuming the print.
If you wish to start mid-print
- Determine the height at which you wish to start printing.
- For this example we determined the height to be 7.05mm.
- Search the G-code file you are using to find that layer height.
- layer 18, Z = 7.05478
- G0 X530.668 Y198.055 F6000
- G0 Z7.055 F200
- G1 E-0.06 F3000
- G92 E0
- G1 X529.904 Y198.641 E0.0335 F2700
- G1 X529.319 Y199.404 E0.067
- G1 X528.95 Y200.293 E0.1006
Copy Z move
- Find the G0 Z7.055 F200 command above
- Copy and paste it just before the G0 X and Y move like this:
- layer 18, Z = 7.05478
- G0 Z7.055 F200
- G0 X530.668 Y198.055 F6000
- G0 Z7.055 F200
- G1 E-0.06 F3000
- G92 E0
- G1 X529.904 Y198.641 E0.0335 F2700
- G1 X529.319 Y199.404 E0.067
- G1 X528.95 Y200.293 E0.1006
Edit the G-code file
Removing everything between the start G-code and the beginning of the new layer.
Start G-code looks like this:
- G90 ; use absolute coordinates
- M82 ; absolute extrusion distances
- G21 ; set units to millimeters
- M106 S255
- M140 S60
- M190 S60
- M104 S190 T0
- M109 S190 T0
- M92 X118.52 ; calibrate X
- M92 Y118.52 ; calibrate Y
- M92 Z4031.5 ; calibrate Z
- M92 E1850 ; calibrate E
- M220 S100
- M221 S100
- M201 X1500 Y1500
- G28
- G92 E0
- G1 E5.0 F100
- G92 E0
- G0 Z 0.2223
- G92 E0
- G1 E-3 F3000
