  Well, this is the largest Print I have made. 27 hours. Just cooled and came off the bed. Yes, I know there are strings, but those are coming off after Phil is mission debriefed.

  Pulse E-512, BuildTak bed, Quantum PLA Raspberry/Blue. Hotend 210C, Bed 40C.

  

  

  

  No astronauts were harmed in the making of this print.

  I'm printing a Phil A Ment pencil holder right now. It's going to be almost 7" high. I set the Fill at 10%. Mid-way through the 24 hour print, I read a comment in Matter Hackers that I should have set the fill high so Phil will not be top heavy. So, it got me thinking. Could one stop a print, add BBs, sand or other ballast to the print, then resume?

  @olli-rita said in Printing from SD using PrusaSlicer:

  When printing from SD in PS and there's no USB tethering, how do I pause, change filament and resume print on a Pulse XE E-423S with smoothie board. I can't find any way of continue printing in the printer dash?

  To pause, change filament, and resume a print on a Pulse XE E-423S printer with a Smoothieboard when printing from an SD card:

  Pause the print on the printer's control panel.
  Retract the filament manually.
  Replace with new filament.
  Edit the G-code file to include a pause and filament change command at the desired layer.
  Save and transfer the edited G-code file to the SD card.
  Resume the print from the SD card.

  In answer to my own question...

  While attempting to hot tighten, I had the parts laid out and plugged in, but not assembled inside the print head when I got the error.

  In desperation, I assembled the print head on the printer, and then started up printer. Found Home, raised the print head 60mm and over on the X axis until I could fit the wrench (about 150mm or so). I raised the temperature and no error thus far.

  Lesson learned, hot tighten on the TAZ 5 fully assembled.

  Although this may be a bit late, I had a similar issue with a failure to connect. The issue was Baud rate.
