After having issues with both the pause command (M3070) and the pause button, the printer hung-up and wouldn't accept any button pushes or sent gcodes. It was reset via the "Emergency Stop" button in Repetier-Host.
Sequence of events:
- Performed 'dry-run' of gcode to test pausing for filament change (via hardware pause button)
- At intended position (audible via beeps & "G4 pauses") I pressed the pause button without result
- I pressed the pause button repeatedly without result
- A second or two, after ignoring the pause button, and after resuming printing, it finally reacted to the pause button and paused.
- I manually reduced the hot end temperature: OK
- I manually retracted some filament via buttons: OK
- I attempted to use the menu entry "Unload Filament" and the printer stopped responding.
A video of the no-response condition exists, but it's 33MB & I don't know how to upload files here (should I use "WeTransfer"?).
I can supply the gcode used
I can supply the last bit of Repetier-Host's log file, too. Both files can be found under the link referenced above. User "RF1000" should be able to retrieve them.
The log file is interesting in that you can see some of the failed pause attempts. The printer acknowledges the command, but does not pause, due to "pause is not available at the moment because nothing is printed". This message shows up in the log twice. But two full layers had already been printed!!, so claiming "nothing is printed" is an incorrect statement.
