Finally got around to replacing my Y belt and hot end nozzle today. I was doing a test print and needed to pause the print as the new nozzle blocked up for some reason. But pause did not seem to work. Sometimes it takes awhile to pause when using PC or Raspberry Pi but it will eventually stop. Anyone else had Pause problems with Gcode app?
pause does seem to take a while to ‘happen’. I just attributed it to a large instruction queue in the printer and it just had to do that much to get to the pause instruction.
@Gary_Durey when pressing pause GCodePrintr just stops sending gcodes to the printer. Depending on the buffer in the firmware and the length of the moves it can still take some time until the printer stops. My firmware has a buffer of ~16 gcodes, in case of printing small circles 16 gcodes are less than a second, in case of long distance moves 16 gcodes can be up to a minute.
