For one pause at a single given Z this works fine, but if you need a 2nd or 3rd pause at another Z it fails.
if you try to add this plugin 2 or more times it fails by executing all the pauses to the same Z in the gcode and usually it not even close to any of the Z values asked for. It's been this way for years, maybe a note in the tool tips warning against multiple uses would be nice.

I will have a look at it tonight. Remind me again later on in case I forget.

thanks. I've been adding my own by hand since the plugin gets crazy if you ask it for more that one pause.

Hum, I managed to use it with several pauses (more or less, this plugin is buggy anyway). It "works" with cura 2.5 beta.

I think you need to insert the pauses by descending order of height.
Ex:

  • Pause at 150 mm
  • Pause at 130 mm
  • Pause at 120 mm

Did you try that ?

Also, with cura 2.5, you can load the gcode and see the travel path of the nozzle. You can check that the pauses are really there.

I think I had added them low to high
pause 0.5mm
pause 0.7mm
pause 1.7mm
pause 1.9mm

I'll try to find a machine to put beta since this will screw up my normal machine due to 2.x intolerance of other cura's.
