Nut insertion  

RE: Nut insertion

Posted by: @samuel-coquelle

Hy all 🙂

Today, i'm trying to enclosed a small nut in a 3D printed part.

The "pause" fonction on prusa slicer work perfectly but during pause, petg continue to flow down from the extruder and when I resume the print, I'm noticing a small lack in the first resumed layer :

I'm affraid that this will weaken my print.

Do you know how to correctly resume the print ?

 

Thanks by advance !

Try adding a color change instead of pause, insert nut, unload and load same filament.
That way printer will push out new fresh filament before it starts printing again

I prefer to do this instead of using pause

Ok !

Thanks for your feedback !

I will try this.

I was wondering about expend the skirt upond the pause layer or had a simple object that would suffer the lack of material istead of my main part.

But your option seem's far better to me.

Thanks again !

Can't you clear the excess material from the nozzle with pliers (or if you're a real man just use your fingers)
