Question (non-printing movement with G1 and E0 instead of G0) #17

Closed ArMaAy closed 1 year ago

ArMaAy commented 1 year ago

Hello,

Our setup does not recognize G0 so I am wondering how I can write non-printing movements with G1 and E0 instead of G0. Thank you in advance

ArMaAy commented 1 year ago

I think by adding follwoing command, it would work fine (width is considered zero) design_steps.append(fc.ExtrusionGeometry(width=0.0, height=0.2)) Then the line strats with G1 and E0

Yep that does it. You can also do a similar thing but use an ExtrusionGeometry object to set the 'area_model' to be 'manual' and then state that 'area' = 0. This might be more clear to someone reading your code
