M83 (relative extrusion) - Allow Zeroing of E Distances

Post by wepollock »

---Just to become more knowledgeable I am crawling through the duet parameter files as a precursor to looking at https://configurator.reprapfirmware.org/


I just confirmed that my slicer (simplify3d) is putting M83 into the print job preamble to enable relative extrusion.
I don't think I need to do anything else? Correct?

One thing I did notice that the slicer did not have as illustrated in the sublimelayers blog post below;
"Allow zeroing of extrusion distances" checked;

I don't think allow zeroing of extrusion distances is needed with M83 on. Is that observation correct?

Correct, zeroing of extrusion distance only applies when you use absolute extruder coordinates.
