        <title>Can I insert a Pause at certain layers ?</title>
        <description> Can I insert a PAUSE in the Gcode at certain levels?

For instance, by making the pause conditional in the &#039;after layer&#039; section ?

(f.i.  &quot;if layer equals 23: PAUSE&quot; ) 


or by other means, not editing the gcode after slicing....

            <description><![CDATA[ I have been testing with the @Pause command.<br />
<br />
This is exactly what I needed. I home the X before so no droop on the object.  Thanks.<br />
<br />
Now.... it would be nice to know when that moment has arrived.<br />
So my thoughts are to sound an external alarm when @Pause is triggered.<br />
<br />
Any way to achieve someting like that ?  Shorting a switch somewhere so that switch can power my alarm that is far away by wire ?]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ As has been said, use the command M25 for Repetier.  I advise you to run from SD card, which will prevent jerky movements if the communication is delayed due to Windows getting temporarily hung up with background tasks etc.<br />

            <description><![CDATA[ Yesterday I ran a modified Gcode with M226 at the required level.<br />
<br />
It never paused. It just ran all the way to the end. <br />
I posted a question in the Repetier forum, maybe there is the solution, as it is a repetier issue in my case :-)<br />
<br />
I am not running from SD, but from the repetier host on Windows10<br />
<br />
So you mean I can put the string @pause in the Gcode ?]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ I believe the note not to use M25 in a gcode file is for RepRapFirmware and that's actually the correct command for a Repetier machine.  It might work better with an M400 before and after it (which waits for current moves to finish and clears the read-ahead buffer).<br />
<br />
If you're not running the print off the SD card (though I generally recommend doing so), you can handle a pause through Repetier-Host by inserting @pause.<br />
<br />
This is apparently a feature to which they've been doing some changes in the more-recent versions of Repetier firmware.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ Sounds like you may be using the wrong command to pause.  The command to use depends on your controller &amp; firmware - what printer is it for and what command are you used to pause it?  Maybe write a simple bit of G-code to move the head about without extruding and try various pause command methods.<br />

            <description><![CDATA[ Yes, <br />
<br />
that is the alternative, <br />
but last time I tried, the pause was called and resume was immediately called too..So I did miss the moment.<br />
<br />
<br />
So what went wrong ?  I will try again.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ Unless you are wanting to pause a very large number of times, what's the problem with editing the G-code file?  You just load it into a text editor, search for the Z height you want to insert the pause (e.g. search for "Z2.5" if you want to pause at a height of 2.5mm), and put in the appropriate pause command then save.  All done in literally seconds.  I do this often when I want to change the colour at a certain layer - e.g. to print raised or embossed text.<br />
