Unload: this sends a gcode command that can be in the environment file. It would home, then move the y axis to unload, then to load

Force unload: this sends a gcode command that can be in the environment file. It would home, then move the y axis to unload and keep it there in case the chocolate didn't eject automatically.

Change milling bit: this sends a gcode command that can be in the environment file. In case someone replaces the milling bit, it would move the machine to a point where the user could remove the milling bit, insert a new one, and use a billet of plastic at the exact right height to insert a new bit the right height.

Return to start button: this sends a gcode command that can be in the environment file. This would home, and then move to origin. At the moment it moves using the relative gcode command so if you are already at the origin, it moves it across to a new origin. It needs to home first.

@breiler how can I amend the last on here (return to start) so that it homes first? At the moment causing a few issues as if it's already home or doesn't know where it is, it just moves the X,y, and Z values - sometimes meaning it "runs off the rails".
