Pausing Prints to Add Hardware
One of the biggest advantages of 3d printing is that your printer can make parts on its own without you having to be there. But there’s a technique that requires a little bit of human intervention that can help level up your prints. Interrupting your print.
By just adding a little bit of GCode at the appropriate line, you can add additional hardware to your prints that you wouldn’t be able to do otherwise - like adding a metal weight into a cavity to give your print a little more heft. Or embedding a nut into your print so you can have a part with metal threads.
Or you can change your filament during this pause, so you can add a contrasting color to create small signs or other designs. For more tips like this, check out maker Update Each Week on the DigiKey Youtube channel.
