Put a Magnet or Nut in a Print

Hello everybody, I want you to explain how to print a hole, pause the print, put something in the hole and print the rest. NOTE: All my files are for PLA 200° C nozle and 50° C printing bed Modle an object with an hole in it, or use Hockey-Puck.stl Slice the object and save the gcode file. Do not forget to disable supports before slicing! (Depending on how you have created your model, you must disable the setting Mesh Fixes -> Union Overlapping Volumes in Cura.) 3. Find out in your slicer program in which layer your gcode file starts closing the hole. In my model it is layer 15. 4. Open your gcode file or Heckey-Puck-Origin.gcode with an editor or notepad++ or something like else. 5. In Cura the first layer has the number "layer:0" so we have to find the beginning of "layer:14" in my file. It is in line 10586. We just have to go back between the retract and the re-retract before the beginning of "layer:14" 6. The print head must move to the side, otherwise it will interfere when we want to put something in the hole. Add a new line after line 10571. Write "G1 X0 Y180 F2400" in the new line. "F" is for the speed. 7. After this new line add a second line. Write "M300 P10000 S4000" in it. "M300" makes a tone. "P" is for the time and "S" is the frequency. Here your printer makes a tone. Duration about 10 seconds. 8. After this two new lines add a third new line. Write "G4 P60000" in it. "P" is for the time. Here it is 60 seconds or 60000 milliseconds. Optional: Ad a second tone as a new line, so that you know that your time is up. 9. Save the file and copy it to your SD-Card. This is the file Hockey-Puck-New.gcode. 10. Have fun with it!
