So I'm looking at making a couple of ruler stops and I want to insert some M6 nuts in them.
I've been using Fusion for doing the g-code for my printer and I wanted to pause and see if my thinking on the process is correct as Fusion doesn't seem to have a straightforward method to break up a print to add an object.
1. Slice the body you're going to print so the void you're going to drop whatever is there.
2. Create the first setup to print that part of the body and retract to the home position.
3. Create a 2nd setup with the rest of the bodies for that print selected.
4. Generate supports as needed for parts.
Now the massive drawback that jumps out here is that it is going to create a new outer face between the two parts, making for a bit of wasted filament and the additional time for the standard dancing about the printer does when starting a new print.
Also, anyone know how I can add a manual g-code blurb for the additive machining outside of manual edit? Mostly curious as I'm working with a Formbot with a second print head and can slave the print head with M-code.
I've attached an .f3d of what I'm doing for reference.
*Edit: file didn't attach.
Solved! Go to Solution.
