Introduction

During 3D printing, sometimes it is useful if we can pause our print process and do some tweaks/adjusments, for example, changing filament because we need to continue with a different color, or place nuts into the print, so we won't need to cut threads into the plastic.

Usage

To use this tool, we have to activate it in the "Info panels" group. Using the layer slider on the right of the screen, we have to find the actual height where we want to have our layer pause command to be executed during print. Clicking the "plus" button will add a new layer pause with a default name. This name can be modified and most printers will display this name when print reaches the pause command. Once we have an existing layer pause command, we can remove it with the "minus" button. Also, note that when a pause command is placed, there will be visual indicators (planes) of its existence in the 3D scene, and also, in the layer height slider.
