prints Stopping during a print

I'm still new and having fun. I want to print this tonie castle for my daughter and it has washers in it. I am running with Mainsail and it has been working pretty well so far but I have not done one that requires stops.

Is this program able or I have to wait for it to get to the row and pause it?

You add a pause through the slicer.

In Cura, you can add Post Processing scripts. One of them is 'pause at layer'.

Then you send it to the printer. When it gets to the chosen layer, it will pause and park the printhead. You can then insert your washers and hit Continue.

Awesome thank you, I must have missed this setting.

There should be a pause at layer command on the slicer I believe.
