Hi Santiago,



thanks for your comments and question.

I also had problems with pausing. My current solution is to use:

G4 Dwell S XX

where S means seconds and XX is the number of seconds for a pause. It will resume after XX seconds pass, 2 minutes is usually enough for me. It's not a perfect solution but it should help you for now.

M120 and M121 are not recognised by Marlin Firmware as far as I know, so I can't answer this question. Also I don't understand your syntax. M24 is for resume but I never got it to work myself. Pauses for a long time also break the communication between your computer and the Melzi board. If your jumper is correctly set on the Melzi board, then you can unplug the USB cable at the computer and plug it in again and reconnect without losing position, but I haven't tried this. It is also possible to send an OK command from Repetier host, but this is something you need to read about as I don't use it.

If you want a more permanent pause solution you can follow step 21) and then print the part as two Gcode files. But do not lose position and write down the exact position the display shows to resume printing from there. You will need to have the fan switch on at the right time (after a few layers of resuming) and have other commands from the start of a gcode file like set temperature and wait for temperature to be reached etc.

Good luck, and see the link to discord, which is a live chat, in a comment below.
