Flashforge Finder pause at height z-axis trap wire guide

As my Flashforge Finder II does not responde to the M25 pause function that Flash Print add to the gcode when I add pause at layer, I made this workaround; I add the pause at layer as usual in Flash Print. Then I open the gcode .gx file and replace M25 commands with a G1 Z140 command that lowers the bed. As I use an external filament holder, I leave a short legth of filament in the filament sensor that sits in the original filament holder. By adding a trap line to this short filament lenght, that I hook to a pencil (arm) attached to the bed, I can then start the print as usual and once the bed is up in working position, I hook this trap line to the pencil. Once the print gets to this G1 Z140 command, the bed will lower, pulling the trap line that pulls the short lenght of filanent out os the filament sensor and pauses the print. In this way, I can change filament color at chosen layers in the print without having to watch the entire print process. Would have been a lot easier if Flash Print and Flashforge just found a common way to make a M0, M1, M226, M322 or similar command to work as intended, but meanwhile this is my workaround. This 3D model is for a trap wire guide I made for the filament sensor to make this work easier.
