added and edited op, same result though, unfortunately.  gears still not turning (checked just in case I had a clog)

I just noticed the `E-5` retraction just before the start - if not reversed, is going to prevent any extrusion from happening for a while. Could that be all that's happening? I would set the logical position to 5 less (1744) so that the first extrusion move also undoes the retraction.

so change G92 E1749.14148 to G92 E1744.14148?  Or could I just delete the E-5 line?

If you delete the `E-5` you should expect to see oozing all the way from the end of the prime line to the place where printing resumes. That's why I'd prefer doing it the way I suggested.

Do you see the extruder trying to turn at all? Is the hotend at 200°C?

200 degrees yes, extruder does not move at all, I can push manually through and filament passes like I'd expect, though.

he's operationg under `M82 ;absolute extrusion mode`, and sets the extruder to position 17-meters-something `G92 E1744.14148`, so subsequent extrusions should be higher than that.

You asked it to extrude 1.7 m of filament.

# Resume print but no extrusion

(Asked by: username_0 on 2020-08-11)

Had a print stop about 20 % through and read through some old questions (3+ years) so I'm posting again. Apologies if it's in here some where...

Found the layer to restart, deleted everything from layer 0 to layer 77 (in my case)

The set the E value to the value in layer 76, but still no extrusion. Using Ultimaker Cura. I can dump this but really want to know for future issues with larger prints...

The line you added:

> ```
> G1 E1749.14148
>
> ```

asks the printer to extrude 1.7 **meters** of filament. The firmware likely has a feature to ignore such excessive requests as bogus. Then, subsequent extrusion amounts are also huge (1.7m+) relative to the current extruder position (0) and also get ignored. What you meant to do was:

> ```
> G92 E1749.14148

which means "set the logical extruder position for its current physical position to 1749.14148 mm" so that subsequent extruder positioning commands are interpreted relative to that initial position.
