1) Make software that to allow the stopping of the print so a part can be inserted into the 3D print.

The purpose of this software design is to make it possible to insert/incorporate a solid part into your design. #2

Solid Insert part for the 3D print head/tip to extrude around the solid part with out moving the tip into the part/insert. Software needs to be created in order to make this idea work. So I am not talking about using a second extruder to print the part. I am talking about taking a part and nesting it into the 3D print design. Think about how much easier it would be to insert your parts inside a design and have the ability to connect to the inside wiring assembly with a quick connect. Part of the nesting area could be dissolvable filament. The tip of the extruder may need to me a long tube. Or could finish to the top of the nested part area before stopping the 3D printer to insert the solid part and then 3D print filament over the top to seal the solid part inside. I do not know how to do all of this, but it is a good idea if you understand the concept. Imagine not having to make a two part assembly shell, but print a solid shell with a cavity that you insert the solid parts as it's being 3D printed.

I am the writer of this idea, but I do not know how to code it. Someone else maybe willing to write it.
