Fix for key head

A friend of mine asked if I could fix the head of her bike key with my 3d printer, so I decided to give it a try. I designed the new handle using Onshape after taking a picture of the key shaft and generated the gcode with Slic3r. Using an online gcode viewer I determined at which line of the code I should have placed the key shaft on the print to incorporate it in the new head and to avoid any collision with the hot-end. After this layer line, I added the following gcode:

G! X0 Y0
G4 S60

which moves the head of the printer to the bed XY origin and pauses everything for 60 seconds.
The printing process went exactly as expected, after roughly 2/3 of the printing time the hot-end moved away from the part, I added the key shaft to the part and after 60 seconds the printer started again with the remaining of the print. I am quite happy with the result which turned out to be surprisingly stiff and functional.
