So in the middle of the night ,at the end of a print, the power went out. It only needed a few more layers to print a few LT clear nightgaurds. An error message popped up, I didn’t see a continue button, only a dismiss button, and then it went to the home screen. They were all ruined because I could not continue were the print left off. Is there a way to continue a print when the power goes out? ---

Only if you have a UPS… I’ve used [this one](https://smile.amazon.com/APC-Battery-Protector-Charging-BE600M1/dp/B01FWAZEIU/). ---

UPS is invaluable. We get lots of power interruptions where I live, I would have lost dozens of prints without my ups. ---
