3D Printing - G-code Fundamentals

What is the primary difference between the G-code commands G0 and G1 in 3D printing?

A<code>G0</code> pauses the print, <code>G1</code> resumes the print

B<code>G0</code> moves the print head quickly without extruding, <code>G1</code> moves while extruding material

C<code>G0</code> turns on the fan, <code>G1</code> turns it off

D<code>G0</code> sets the temperature, <code>G1</code> homes the printer

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand the function of G0
G0 is used for rapid movement of the print head without extruding filament, to save time.
Step 2: Understand the function of G1
G1 moves the print head while extruding filament, used for printing layers.
Final Answer:
G0 moves quickly without extruding; G1 moves while extruding -> Option B
Quick Check:
Movement type = Rapid vs Controlled Extrusion [OK]

Quick Trick: G0 = fast move no extrusion, G1 = move with extrusion [OK]
