Hi at all,
I'm new to the fantastic rep rap world. I'm working in my first 3d printer!
My question is: is there the possibility to add a switch on the feed system to pause the print when the plastic wire is finished?
How i can connect this to the sanguinololu board?
Thanks to all
Francesco

You can pause with most host software. It's not immediate, though, and doesn't perform a retract so it leave a glob of plastic behind.
