G-code file corruption workaround

G-Code File Corruption Workaround

Hello, everyone!

What do you do when your 3D printer's G-code file is corrupted? Well, here's a workaround that worked for me. When my printer doesn't finish the print, and the nozzle stays in place without lowering the temperature, here's what I do.

I insert a pin or dowel that is taller (about 25 mm) in the same location as the part you want to print. The printer continues the process, thinking it needs to finish the pin or dowel. You can manually stop the printer once your part is finished. I use 25 mm as it provides ample time to react.

Here's an image of the setup:
