Stopping and starting mid-print

Stopping / Pausing a print

Pausing and resuming a print

To pause a print:

1. Press the center button on the Viki controller circle
2. Scroll to "Pause Print"
3. Confirm with the center button on the Viki controller circle

Please Note

1. If you paused the print directly and the hot-end nozzle is in contact with the print there will become an imperfection in the print.
2. 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

1. Determine the height at which you wish to start printing.
2. For this example we determined the height to be 7.05mm.
3. 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

1. Find the G0 Z7.055 F200 command above
2. 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

1. 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
