G0 and G1 are identical commands and tell the printer to "go" or "go to" some location. You can specify all 4 axes or just one axes or anything in between. So
G0 X50 Y50 Z15
Moves to that location with the nozzle 15mm above the bed. I don't know how wide your bed is and I don't know where 0,0 is for you. On UM printers 0,0 is front left and they are a little over 215mm wide so:
G0 X200 Y0 Z15 is safe for a UM printer.
To extrude it's the part where it does this:
G92 E0 ;zero the extruded length
G1 F200 E3 ;extrude 3mm of feed stock
G92 E0 ;zero the extruded length again
The G92's are important - that sets current position for an axis (in this case E axis to position zero). Without that you don't know where the E axis will move to - it depends where the E axis left off which might be at the 10 meter point from a previous print.
The G1 F200 E3 moves 3mm of filament. The F200 is the feedrate which stays in effect for all subsequent G0 or G1 comnmands until F is mentioned again. It's in mm/minute so divide by 60 to get mm/sec. Or take your mm/sec value you want and multiply by 60.
Does that answer all your questions?

Strap in for the first Cura release of 2024! This 5.7 beta release brings new material profiles as well as cloud printing for Method series printers, and introduces a powerful new way of sharing print settings using printer-agnostic project files! Also, if you want to download the cute dinosaur card holder featured below, it was specially designed for this release and can be found on Thingiverse!
S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
(Sorry, was out of office when this released)
This update is for...
All UltiMaker S series
New features
Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
