@NathanielStenzel ya, thats what i was trying to do but i didnt save the gcode soo im sorta screwed
Doesn’t matter if you saved the gcode as long as you have slicer profile settings @NathanielStenzel solution should still work.
@James_Nelson yes but i moved the print, it wasnt in the middle of the bed
@Matthew_Del_Rosso no worries you’re gluing it together, only layer height matters
@James_Nelson oh ya if i do it that way, i was just asking if there was a way to keep printing on that part. But glueing it is the best option it would seem
Yeah, some printers have a pause button, but with total failure, gluing I think it’s your only option
If you happen to have the original g-code file, I second @NathanielStenzel 's idea; I’ve recovered a couple prints that way when my SD card corrupted mid print
@Matthew_Del_Rosso I just avoid using my PC all together. I just make my parts and save them to an sd card. The printer runs off of that and then I can just shut my PC down or play games while it prints.
Since you do not have the original gcode and you moved the part position when you sliced it, go with the option of removing it from the bed, measuring it, slicing it and glueing the two parts together. Someone has suggested using barbecue skewers in the infill when doing such joined prints. I imagine you could also put glue on the skewers to get more holding force. Just make sure it is lined up correctly.
If anyone hasn’t tried octopi yet, just can’t recommend it enough. Auto time lapse, live stream, back up of all prints, print stastics, printer command access through web based terminal, history, live gcode viewer, cost estimate, progress, temp monitor, printer power consumption, etc. and a ton of plugins: slicer, STL viewer, a bunch more I haven’t messed with. Just a great solution.
@Matthew_Del_Rosso send me a message via g+, we can do a hangout. I’ll send you one now.
FYI anyone who wants a walk through of octopi is welcome just message me.
I’m afraid that you have to restart the print… Only a small amount of printers can resume the print after a crash and the one I know is the beeverycreative…
I have written a instructable on how to resume a 3d print. Google it
start over and log your journey, Nz
@James_Nelson thanks!
You could only resume a print if you know where it failed - so you need logging (only a few support M928 and it wouldn’t help if the error is undetected like an filament end)
But if you know where it failed you can bring your printer to that with »M26 Snnn« where nnn is the byte position to start from there. Else if you meassure the height you can remove the already printed part from your model slice it again and with »G92 Znnn« (nnn is the inverted/negative height of your partly printed model ) you move the printer to that height and can print ontop of your old model - no glue needed. But if you don’t know the positon exactly you should print a (some) bottom layer to ensure a good connection.
