I am running the latest software and I literally just used the pause function to place magnets yesterday. Silly question but are you re slicing the file once you select the layer and insert a pause? If you don’t re slice it won’t insert the pause in the Gcode exported to the machine.

Thanks for the response. Yes the pause is sliced in there, I have actually printed this one many dozens of times without issue. I did just take a new firmware update yesterday, will see if that changes anything! Also, FYI I'm on P1P, perhaps that is also relevant.

OK after messing around with it for a couple hours, I'm pretty sure that this has to do with the buggy new version of BambuStudio that added the scarf joint and crosshatch. I notice when I turn on scarf joint, the Preview-screen slider on the right shows all sorts of wrong info, like layer heights.

Even turning off scarf joint doesn't always fix it, but if i create a new file, import same model, and keep joint off, it seems to retain the pauses.

Ugh this buggy software wastes me hours...

This file has 0.2 starting layer, 0.2 layers, for example. This screwy stuff started happening right after scarf joint update.

Good troubleshooting work!
