What is the main purpose of manually editing G-code in 3D printing?
ATo increase the printer's physical size
BTo change the filament color automatically
CTo customize printer actions beyond slicer settings
DTo update the printer's firmware
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:

  1. Step 1: Understand what G-code controls
