General Mach Discussion / Re: 3D printing with Mach 3
« on: April 13, 2014, 02:30:47 AM »Ok, now I am really confused. I've been looking at the G-code produced by Simplify3D slicer. I sliced a simple part. At the beginning of each layer to print it positions the nozzle and then there is a line G1 E1 F1800. At the end of the layer there is a line G1 E-1 F1800. What does this code do? Is it the E (extruder) axis that moves 1 mm at F1800, then back 1mm at the end? Or is it a rotary axis that starts by E1 and rotates continuously at F1800, then stops when the E-1 is reached? Any help would be appreciated.
Gary,
