3D Printing - G-code Fundamentals

Given this G-code snippet:

G28
M104 S200
G1 X50 Y50 E10 F1200
M109 S200

What does the command G1 X50 Y50 E10 F1200 instruct the printer to do?

AMove to X=50, Y=50 while extruding 10 units of filament at speed 1200

BSet extruder temperature to 50°C and move to Y=10

CHome all axes and wait for temperature

DStop printing immediately

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Analyze the G1 command parameters
G1 moves the print head; X50 Y50 sets position; E10 extrudes filament; F1200 sets speed.
Step 2: Interpret the full command meaning
The printer moves to coordinates (50,50), extruding 10 units of filament at 1200 mm/min speed.
Final Answer:
Move to X=50, Y=50 while extruding 10 units of filament at speed 1200 -> Option A
Quick Check:
G1 with X, Y, E, F = Move + Extrude + Speed [OK]

Quick Trick: G1 with E means move and extrude filament [OK]
