Modify GCode to restart 3D Print
- Load GCode in text editor
- Find lines like Z0.*:
;LAYER:0 M107 G0 F8400 X9.53 Y-66.192 Z0.4
The first line with Z0.* is the initial layer height and would start the full print.
Now search for the line with Z=*.* where *.* is closest to the already printed height. If in doubt, use a slightly lower height (max 1-2 layers!) or the resumed print will not stick well to the part already printed.
Note down the extruder relative position E*.* before that line. Should look like this one (if measured height is 30.4 mm):
G1 F1500 E440.37857 G0 F600 X44.668 Y-41.761 Z30.4
Replace all lines between the first Z0.* line up to before the one with the current print height with the extruder initialization command "G92 E*.*". Use the noted value, e.g.:
G92 E440.37857
The new start (not counting initialization code) should now look like this:
;LAYER:0 M107 G92 E440.37857 G0 F600 X44.668 Y-41.761 Z30.4
Finally check for any lines in the initialization code before the Z0.* line thet use a Z value below the current print height (for nose wiping or similar, and remove them or modify the values to above the printed part. E.g from:
G1 Z15.0 F9000 ;move the platform down 15mm
To ~15mm above the print height:
G1 Z45.0 F9000 ;move the platform down 15mm
Save and start print with that gcode...
