This was nice and informative! Thank you! Would love to see more of the printer working...

Thank you! Nice and strait to the point. Something that modern youtubers lack but you my friend, don’t at all.

For anyone coming back to this. I edited my script to just home x and y after the pause so i can move my bed to clip down the fabric and then resume. The y and x axis will home and the printer won't rehome z. Just don't twist the z rod and you're good. At least in my experience.

Hi, when I try printing on top of fabric the nozzle always get caught even if I use clips and making sure it's flat... How do you make sure that doesn't happen? I have an Ender 3 btw

I wonder what would happen if you ironed the material to the layers that are already down when paused.
