  * Move your 3D model down so it intersects with the build platform at the chosen Z-height.
  * Set build plate adhesion to ''none''
  * Optional: in 'Special Modes', set 'Surface Mode' to ''surface''. This slices just the outer contour of the 3D model and ignores the infill etc.

  * Go to ''Extensions > Post Processing > Modify G-Code''. Add script ''Pause at height''. Change settings to:
    * Pause at: ''Layer No.''
    * Pause Layer: ''1''
    * Disarm timeout: ''1s''
    * Standby Temperature: ''0°C''
  * Save the G-code file to a USB stick and print.
  * The printer is paused after the single layer. Navigate the printer menu to ''Tune > Abort'' to actually stop the print.
