Use Prusa slicer to identify and mark layer with M600 to be replaced by code below.
Then edit g-code with your favorite text editor that does not adulterated your file.
I use text wrangler and its find function to do this.

- The Right Materials - The higher build temperatures of certain FDM materials like as ULTEM™ 1010
- resin and PPSF will burn off the clear coat applied to an insert needed for adhesion. However, the process
- can be used for these materials for smaller inserts. A smaller cavity can be bridged by layers of the
- thermoplastic without having to fully adhere to the insert. Discussing how and where the part will be
- used with a Direct Manufacturing engineer will help you determine the appropriate material for your designs.
When
the embedded nut is needed not on the surface, but inside the model,
the print needs to pause in between to allow us to insert the nut and
then resume printing. We can either manually enter a command on the
controller or include it in the g-code to pause the print at the
required layer.
- Find the layer after which you want to pause the print from the slicer visualization.
- Once you know the layer, search for it in the g-code.
- For Duet firmware, enter or add ‘M25’ to pause the print.
- For Marlin firmware, add ‘M226’ to pause the print
- Once the print is paused, insert the nut and hit resume on the controller.
