🏗️ Embedding Objects in a 3D Print

Embedding objects in a 3D print is an advanced technique, but since it is widely used and highly useful, it’s worth covering!

✅ You can embed objects inside your print, such as:
✔️ Magnets
✔️ Bearings (Steel Balls)
✔️ Fabric
✔️ Other small components you want to "hide" inside the model

👉 The process is similar to manual color changes, but instead of swapping filament, you place an object inside the print before it continues printing over it.

🔹 How to Embed Objects in a 3D Print

1️⃣ Prepare the file as usual, just like a normal print.
2️⃣ Go to the Preview tab.
3️⃣ Scroll down on the right panel to the layer where you want to insert the object.
4️⃣ Right-click on the cross icon ➝ Select "Pause".

• This adds a pause point to the print.
  5️⃣ When the printer reaches this point, it will stop and wait for your input.
  6️⃣ Place the object (e.g., magnet, bearing, fabric) inside the model.
  7️⃣ Press "Continue," and the printer will resume, sealing the object inside!

⚠️ Limitations & Risks

📌 This method has some drawbacks:
❌ You must be physically present at the printer to insert the object at the right time.
❌ If the printer cools down or gets stuck during the pause, the print may fail.
❌ It requires precision and might take multiple attempts to get right.

💡 Tip: This technique is often used in professional prints and custom projects, and it costs extra when done as a service.

🎯 Final Thoughts

✅ Great technique for embedding magnets, bearings, or other objects inside a model!
✅ Requires manual intervention, so it’s not ideal for mass production.
✅ If done correctly, it can create unique and functional prints!
