Every once in a while I want to pause a print at a specific height. Sometimes it is to change filament, other times it is to add a weight or embed something into the print before it continues printing.

Frustratingly, many printers come with this functionality disabled. If you run into this roadblock too, you have a few options, all of them require reflashing the firmware.

• Many manufacturers publish their firmware on places like github. You can download it, activate the settings, then reflash your firmware.
• On Thingiverse, I have found many versions of firmware that people have created where they have updated to activate the most common settings. Just download and flash onto your printer.
• Download and install something like Klipper, where you can easily enable or disable settings like this with just a printer.cfg file.

Whatever option you choose, it does require a certain comfort level with flashing new firmware onto your printer.
