3D Printing - G-code Fundamentals
A print job requires moving the print head to X=100, Y=100 quickly without extrusion, then moving to X=150, Y=150 while extruding 5 units of filament. Which G-code commands correctly perform this?

hard📝 Application Q9 of 15
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Move quickly without extrusion
G0 X100 Y100moves fast without extruding filament.Step 2: Move with extrusion
G1 X150 Y150 E5moves while extruding 5 units of filament.Final Answer:
G0 to (100,100) no extrusion, then G1 to (150,150) with extrusion -> Option AQuick Check:
G0 = fast move no extrude; G1 with E = extrude [OK]
Quick Trick: Use G0 for fast moves, G1 with E to extrude [OK]
Common Mistakes:
- Swapping G0 and G1 commands
- Using M104 or M106 for movement
- Adding extrusion to G0 command
