I need to pause the print until tomorrow

Ender Series Creality Ender-3 V2

Can I pause it, turn the printer off and resume tomorrow?
Or should I turn it off so it will think it was a power outage and automatically resume when I turn it on again?

Thanks!

Hello @Robert_Villaverde :wave:
Welcome to the Creality Forum…! Creality-Logo

I’m not sure how the Ender-3 V2 works when it’s paused but on our Ender-3 V3 during a pause the nozzle temp turns off but the bed stays on to hold the print, so the machine will still be using electricity to heat the bed if that’s a concern.

If you turn the machine off it should resume when it’s turned back on but in the meantime the bed will have cooled off and there’s a chance the print might move.

To add, I’m pretty sure it will not even continue the print if you turn it off. It holds the print for several seconds or minutes..Not hours ! :sweat_smile:
