Case with 4 Screws.
The nuts must be inserted while printing.
Make sure the wall is thick enough where the nuts will be placed.
The Example provided is suitable for 2.5mm screws and nuts.
To pause the print at the correct layer insert something like this at a suitable place (e.g. while doing infill):
M83 ; relative mode
G0 E-1 ; rectract 1 mm
G0 Z60 ; goto parking position
M0 {Message to be displayed}
G0 Z{height} ; back to layer height
G0 E1 ; reverse retract
M82 ; absolute position
It retracts a bit, lifts the z and waits for the user to resume.
Replace {Message to be displayed} with custom message (e.g. insert 4 screws)
Replace {height} with the z-height of the current layer
