Hi All,
First of all thanks in advance for any help you can give me , I have some doubts about the code generated by Cura :oops: . my question is regarding the speed and acceleration (Feedrate). If I took a piece of code from a G code file I can see the following.
;TYPE:CUSTOM
M92 E600.000000
M140 S100.000000

G1 X37.983 Y109.749 E6.5985
G1 X42.017 Y112.775 E7.105
Reading the code I have the following doubts ,
:?: 1)
If we look at the line where it is written,
G1 Z5.0 F60
I understand making a move on the z axis at set speed by F60 (60mm/min), but two lines later we can see written
G1 F200 E3
Is this the same? i.e, moving on the axis E three millimeters at F200 speed.
:?: 2)
If we continue reading the code, we find the next:
G1 F1800
;LAYER:0
;TYPE:SKIRT
G1 X26.75 Y92.553 Z0.63 F1800.0
The first line sets the speed (G1 F1800) and the second defines a movement and speed, if I trust what is written in the Wiki about Gcode,
“Will set a feedrate of 1800 mm/minute, then do the move described above accelerating to a feedrate of 1800 mm/minute …”
But in this code the feedrate is the same, Does that mean there is no acceleration? then is a movement at a constant speed? Then why has added the first line?
:?: 3)
And my last question (for now)
If we continue reading the code, we find the next:
G1 F1800.0
G1 X28.774 Y98.575 Z0.63 F900.0 E5.1381
The first line sets the speed (G1 F1800), but in the second line, there is a speed command between the Z coordinate and E coordinate, How this command affects? Does this only defines the feedrate for Extruder, Is it an acceleration command for the XYZ system? Or, Is it an feedrate command for the XYZ system?
Thank in advance :rolleyes:
