Creality Ender 3 S1 Pro - Change filament color using Marlin M600 in GCode

[daveb-98]

Has anyone used the M600 gcode command to pause printing. I currently use it with an Anycubic Mega Pro that has Knutwurst firmware 1.44. This method requires responses made using OctoPrint but works great for me.

I am very interested in the S1 Pro but it not responding to the M600 would be a deal breaking for me. Thanks in advance

Sorry, no Ender here, but I'm curious as to why you couldn't use OctoPrint to change filament on the Ender. Here our host shows how to change filament on an older Ender: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8Q3RmZWNzg (I've been meaning to try this.)


Cheers

Thanks Alan.
I watched the video. It certainly looks like answer to the problem. I will try this with my Anycubic after I restore the stock firmware.
I have scoured the internet and found out that the M600 command does not work properly with the S1 Pro. There is a good firmware downloadable from Github (https://github.com/mriscoc/Ender3V2S1). The problem is that it will not work with the touch screen that comes with the S1 Pro.

I tested the change filament using Octoprint per Irv's video. After tweaking for my printer, it worked as well as using the M600 gcode command. I tested with the stock Anycubic firmware and the firmware from Github. Both worked.
Thanks Alan for the link and thanks Irv for the video. It looks like this will not stop me from buying the Creality S1 Pro. Just have to save some $$$
