Unanswered G code for Resume option

Hi guys, I am fairly new to making custom G codes so I was hoping someone could help me out.

I am trying to pause my print multiple times so I can add different colors to my print. I am using the auto layer pause option on Matter control and it pauses just fine. My issue was that the Z axis wouldn't raise when it paused, so it was melting into my part before I could resume my print.

Under the Pause Custom G code option I entered..

G91
G1 Z10
G90. That is working awesome but no matter what I try for the resume G codes I cannot get it to resume properly.

Can someone help me out here? What do I need to do to resume my print after I have paused it?

 

Thanks Mark! I will give that a shot and let you know.

 

So I did exactly what the other thread suggested and the pause G codes still work perfectly but when I hit "Resume" all my printer does is make a buzzing noise.

What am I doing wrong?

 

I've had good success with filament changes mid print by issuing this in the console:
G4 S030

This gives me 30 seconds of pause to remove and change to another spool. If you need more or less time change the number accordingly. After it counts to 30 seconds (example above) it will resume whether or not you are done so practice makes perfect.

There are probably better ways, this is the one I found works for me.

 

Does that lift the Z axis at all or does it stay where it was paused? My issue is the hot end melts into the part after being paused.

 

It does NOT raise the Z. I print PLA at about 190C and haven't had melting issues so far.

 

Hmmm maybe I should play with it a bit. Thanks for the info.

 

LOL, it does require you to be able to do a clean change quickly, practice is a requirement.

 

I am trying to pause at a couple specific hights so I can change to a different color. I do not have an LCD, but maybe that's my best option.
Any recommendations for an LCD that has a color change option?

 

Can't wait to get home and give it a look see. Thanks.
