In this test, I was trying to stop the Elegoo Centauri Carbon at a specific layer.
Adding the pause using the Orca slicer, the printer configuration uses M600, which actually pauses for filament change. This operation cuts the filament and pulls it out of the nozzle, and this is not the intended
behavior.

Solution:
Since Centauri Carbon runs on Klipper firmware, we should use the 'PAUSE' command to pause the printer.
So, instead of adding a pause, I added custom G-code at the intended layer and only typed 'pause' without the quotation marks.

The printer paused and parked the nozzle in the clearing location without cutting the filament, and that allowed me to add the fabric and use magnets to hold it down.

The results were great; the print stuck to the fabric successfully.

The original model (the owl) was designed by jattie.
