Today’s prints are tiny signs! My wife is going to use them at her

Today’s prints are tiny signs! My wife is going to use them at her work to show when computers are not working. They have a little built-in clip that holds them upright. I switched the filament partway through to get the black lettering printed on. I found out that I can execute a pause in the GCODE by inserting an ‘M0’ command before the layer I want to change colors on. Works much better than the ‘PauseatZ’ plugin that comes with Cura.

Ha! Those look awesome. I would have been lazy and just painted the letter tops with a Sharpie. Nice job with actually switching the filament. :slight_smile:

@marmil thanks! I tend to think that the reasons engineers invent stuff like this is so they DONT have to do it by hand. It looks a lot cleaner and has fewer chances of mistakes.

@Daniel_Jackman you can resume a M0 - strange that should invoke a shutdown (or M1-sleep). The M600 Filament change is not working on my printer so i use M25. (there is also M226 which strangely is not working either on my printer)

@Ulrich_Baer yeah. I tried M226 and my printer complete ignored it. It just blew right through it and continued with the code.
