Works really good. I've had it ask me a few times if I'm printing a logo but never tried it, will have to find an excuse to give it a go!

TSD Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 In Prusaslicer, you can also set flags to pause printing at particular levels. I've used that a few times to embed nuts or weights completely inside a print. Just make sure there's a nut shaped void in the print, and pause it at the very top. I printed a desk stand for a radio controller, and on a whim I embedded three tungsten weights that had been rattling round the desk for ages. It made a lovely stand that didn't fall over or slide around on the end of the cable. I forgot all about it until months later I spent ages hunting for those weights when I remembered what they were *really* for 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
