The filament came out during a print and I don't know what layer it came out at. I've spent a lot of filament on this print, so is there any way to continue it?

I suppose you could take it off the bed, measure very precisely the height, print just the remainder (by altering the model and re-slicing) on the bed, and glue it to what's already printed. It would almost definitely still have a visible seam and aside from that, I can't think of a way to save it.
Thanks, I'll probably just try to restart in that case.
this is what i was thinking.
most slicers will let you just move the model down in negative z, saving the need to cut or alter the model. (it then slices only the mesh that's on or above the plate.)
