Everyone wants more colors!!
We all stare at our printers waiting for that perfect moment to pause for a color change, only to be distracted and miss that moment!!
Well never again!!
After lots of tinkering, research, some guidance and help. I have created a nice little pause code. And wish to make things easier for everyone!
Like many of you, I print from the SD card. So after you create your G-code, and of course figure out the layer/height you wish to switch colors. Simply insert this little section of code right after a finished layer, and right before the new layer. And as many times as you want!

M104 S120 ; Lowers temp to create a cold pull
M109 S120 ; Printer waits until this temp is reached
M300 S0 P1000 ; Beep to let you
