# Resume print but no extrusion

Had a print stop about 20 % through and read through some old questions (3+ years) so I'm posting again. Apologies if it's in here some where...

Found the layer to restart, deleted everything from layer 0 to layer 77 (in my case)

The set the E value to the value in layer 76, but still no extrusion. Using Ultimaker Cura. I can dump this but really want to know for future issues with larger prints...

EDITED AFTER ANOTHER ATTEMPT: (Same effect) Sorry, I'm at a loss also made change to G92 code subtracting 5

• You asked it to extrude 1.7 m of filament. – R.. GitHub STOP HELPING ICE Aug 11 at 11:22
• What is the purpose of those 19 non-printing moves? – Davo Aug 11 at 13:23
• Not sure Davo, I just cut out the layer detail, I can delete that also if it doesn't do anything – Frank Walters Aug 11 at 14:28

G1 E1749.14148


asks the printer to extrude 1.7 meters of filament. The firmware likely has a feature to ignore such excessive requests as bogus. Then, subsequent extrusion amounts are also huge (1.7m+) relative to the current extruder position (0) and also get ignored. What you meant to do was:

G92 E1749.14148


which means "set the logical extruder position for its current physical position to 1749.14148 mm" so that subsequent extruder positioning commands are interpreted relative to that initial position.

• added and edited op, same result though, unfortunately. gears still not turning (checked just in case I had a clog) – Frank Walters Aug 11 at 12:51
• I just noticed the E-5 retraction just before the start - if not reversed, is going to prevent any extrusion from happening for a while. Could that be all that's happening? I would set the logical position to 5 less (1744) so that the first extrusion move also undoes the retraction. – R.. GitHub STOP HELPING ICE Aug 11 at 13:44
• so change G92 E1749.14148 to G92 E1744.14148? Or could I just delete the E-5 line? – Frank Walters Aug 11 at 14:29
• If you delete the E-5 you should expect to see oozing all the way from the end of the prime line to the place where printing resumes. That's why I'd prefer doing it the way I suggested. – R.. GitHub STOP HELPING ICE Aug 11 at 14:38
• OK I'm sorry I know this is something I'm doing wrong. changed the line and updated the op to current config and still no love. – Frank Walters Aug 11 at 14:42
