    If I am printing multiple items and one of the items starts to mess up to the point it could jeopardize the rest of the prints, is there a way to delete it from the print session? Kind of like a pause, select and delete item?

    I would hate to be in hr 4 of a 6+ hr print and one item go off kilter.

    Using MatterControl and Robo3D+1.

    Thanks

    Hello, once you hit print there is no control. Im a fan of smaller batches (one at a time) if i have a print running over night...well i hope for the best :D

    Been there and understand. Multiple object work out most of the time but there is always the risk. If I am there I go for it, if I am away at work or in bed I use mostly single objects and use a lamp timer to turn off the printer after it's done.

    Thanks all. I was afraid of that answer. Oh well, I'll have to try it after the season is over. These 6hr prints are too long to have something goof up on.
