Note: Codes in Black are supported on version 4 and above (v4+), and most likely on version 3 as well.

Note: Codes in Orange are supported on version 5 and above (v5+) only.

Note that Repetrel versions prior to 4.2 can not properly process gcode with "tab" characters - tab was a reserved character.

What is GCode?

Everything your Hyrel 3D Printer does is done by executing GCode, whether you are aware of it or not.

Every button you press on the screen sends a gcode to the printer.

When you start a job (by pressing "Print"), the settings from your head are sent to the printer (including flow and prime/unprime values); then the gcode file is sent, line by line, to the printer.

All parameters are persistent, so once they are set, they will remain in place unless or until you (or the file) sends a new, updated value (including setting to 0).

Please note that there are many flavors of gcode, and while most have the same (or very similar) G0-G100 and M0-M100, codes above 100 are largely nonstandard.

It is important to remember that different variable letters can have different meanings, depending on the G- or M- code being used - especially the T value.

The Table of Contents to the right lists the main categories of Gcodes.

Header Explained

Please visit GCode Header for a detailed description of our standard GCode headers.

Understanding the T

A T Command changes which head has the focus of the motion controller and is executing the gcode. Each of our printers have at least four tool positions.

The use of T commands and variables changes greatly (for the better) with the jump to version 5 from the previous versions.

Please see T_v4 for the old way (v4 and earlier), where the nomenclature for T Commands and the T Variables were not the same.

Please see T_v5 for the new way (v5 and later), where the nomenclature for T Commands and the T Variables are the same.

We will use a T# in the descriptions below to avoid confusion; please find the correct designation for your version by following the links above.

Most Commonly Edited Gcodes

Below are the gcodes users should first become familiar with.

Tool Changes

T0 tells the printer to perform extrusion (or emission) from the tool in the far left position
T1 tells the printer to perform extrusion (or emission) from the tool in the second-from-left position
T2 tells the printer to perform extrusion (or emission) from the tool in the third-from-left position
T3 tells the printer to perform extrusion (or emission) from the tool in the fourth-from-left position
T4 tells the printer to perform extrusion (or emission) from the tool in the fifth-from-left position (if available)

Movement

G0 for "rapid", non-printing moves
G1 for "working speed" moves, which may be printing (with E value) or non-printing (no E value)

Temperature

M104 to set head temp
M109 to set and wait for head temp
M140 to set bed temp
M190 to set and wait for bed temp

Others

Which commands to learn from here will depend on what the user intends to do with the equipment.

G0 Rapid Move

G0 is a rapid positioning move. It is not a working move, meaning that your equipment will not be printing, milling, lasering, or doing any other active work during a G0 move. G0 is intended to move your tool to a new position, where the work will happen. Accordingly, G0 movement speeds are set in your configuration settings, rather than being specified in your gcode file.

Special note: a G0 command will take an F variable as a nonpersistent, one-time velocity setting.

Usage

 G0 Xn Yn Zn An Bn Fn

Parameters

 Xn is the new X position to move to
 Yn is the new Y position to move to
 Zn is the new Z position to move to 
 An is the new A position to move to
 Bn is the new B position to move to
 Fn is the feed rate or travel speed to use. Only on G0 is it not persistent

Any values not stipulated remain unchanged.

Note: These positioning values can be absolute or relative to the last position; which depends on whether you are running on G90 absolute positioning or G91 relative positioning. Absolute is the default and should be used in the majority of cases.

Note: All Hyrel printers have built-in support for three axes. Hyrel model 16A and EHR printers may be expanded to five; an additional axis on each machine is reserved for E values.

Example

 G0 X50 Y75 Z10

This command is decoded and executed by the printer as follows:

G0 (rapid (nonprinting) straight line move from the current location to)
- X50 (50mm in the X)
- Y75 (75mm in the Y)
- Z10 (10mm in the Z)
- (no change in A)
- (no change in B)
- (no change in F, use settings-specified feed rate)

G1 Working Move

G1 is a working move, during which you may be printing, milling, lasering, or doing other active work - provided an E (extrude) value is given. In native mode (if you don't add M229 E1 Dn, the value of Extrusion rate E will be ignored, but E will trigger a working or printing move. In E-value mode (by adding M229 E1 Dn, the slicer-determined E value will be used to control material flow. G1 moves are made at the rate indicated by the F (feed rate) value; if no F value is specified, the last F value set will be used. See M229 for more details.

Usage

 G1 Xn Yn Zn An Bn Fn Sn

Parameters

 Xn is the new X position to move to
 Yn is the new Y position to move to
 Zn is the new Z position to move to 
 An is the new A position to move to
 Bn is the new B position to move to
 Hn is the stored head offset to apply (see M660 to store offsets)
 Fn is the feed rate or travel speed to use. Only on G0 is it not persistent
 Sn is a one-time (non-persistent) material flow rate multiplier (rarely used) applied to this move only

Any values not stipulated remain unchanged.

Note: These positioning values can be absolute or relative to the last position; which depends on whether you are running on G90 absolute positioning or G91 relative positioning. Absolute is the default and should be used in the majority of cases; there will be problems with an entire model sliced in relative mode. Relative is intended for special operations like drilling holes.

Note: All Hyrel printers have built-in support for three axes. Hyrel model 16A and EHR printers may be expanded to five; an additional axis on each machine is reserved for E values.

Example

 G1 X50 Y75 E1 F1800 H2

This command is decoded and executed by the printer as follows:

G1 (working speed straight line move from the current location to)
- X50 (50mm in the X)
- Y75 (75mm in the Y)
- (no change in A)
- (no change in B)
- E1 (while extruding)
- F1800 (moving at 1800mm/min)
- H2 (invoking offsets stored in register H2)
- (no temporary scaling)

G2 Clockwise Arc

A G2 move specifies a clockwise arc (or complete circle) from the current position to position (X,Y,Z)_curr by following an arc about the center point (X_curr+I, Y_curr+J).

Usage

 G2 Xn Yn Zn In Jn Fn En Sn

Parameters

 Xn is the new X position to move to
 Yn is the new Y position to move to
 Zn is the new Z position to end at (optional and usually not stipulated)
 In is the relative distance from the current X position to the center position about which to arc (default 0)
 Jn is the relative distance from the current Y position to the center position about which to arc (default 0)
 Fn is the Feed rate (travel speed) at which to execute this move.
 En indicates a working or printing move
 Sn dictates how many segments are used to create the arc (or circle); 0.33333 mm is the default value
   S values less than 3.0 dictate the length in mm of each segment for this element
   S values of 3.0 or more dictate how many total segments comprise this element - only allowed on complete circles of 360°

Any values not stipulated remain unchanged. We will print this element with our native Hyrel flow calculations (based on nozzle diameter, layer thickness, and feed rate) even if your gcode has enabled the use of E values with M229 E1 D1.

Example

 G2 X50 Y75 I15 J20 E1 F1800

This command is decoded and executed by the printer as follows:

G2 (working speed clockwise arc/circle move from the current location to)
- X50 (50mm in the X)
- Y75 (75mm in the Y)
- (centered about a point located)
- I15 (15mm further in the X)
- J20 (20mm further in the Y)
- E1 (while extruding)
- F1800 (moving at 1800mm/min)

Example

 G2 X50 Y75 I15 J20 E1 S6

This command is decoded and executed by the printer as follows:

G2 (working speed clockwise arc/circle move from the current location to)
- X50 (50mm in the X)
- Y75 (75mm in the Y)
- (centered about a point located)
- I15 (15mm further in the X)
- J20 (20mm further in the Y)
- E1 (while extruding)
- (using previously established F rate)
- S6 (made up of six sides - resulting in a hexagon with one point at the origin, with all corners inscribed on the circle)

G2.1 Spiral CW Arc¹

A G2.1 makes a spiral circular move (only supports full 360 arcs, or Ln * 360). This arc is CW if spiraling in and CCW if spiraling out. Effective ending X/Y is always the same as the current XY and is not specified (though the actual final position is a function of the number of laps, the pitch, and the reverse code. An end Z can be supplied to have a uniform displacement during the move. The number of full 360 arcs can be specified as well as the pitch (centerline between arcs). An important feature is the "reverse code" to allow the creation of frog toes without having to jump over the frog toe once it's made.

Usage

 G2.1 Zn In Jn Pn Ln En Sn Rn Fn

Parameters

 Zn is the new Z position to end at (optional and usually not stipulated; will be relative or absolute, depending on current mode)
 In is the relative distance from the current X position to the center position about which to arc (default 0)
 Jn is the relative distance from the current Y position to the center position about which to arc (default 0)
   Note: In and Jn both default to 0, but at least one of them must be explicitly declared with a non-zero value.
 Pn is the pitch (how close the laps are) in mm (required)
 Ln is the number of laps to complete (must be a positive integer; you don't need to finish the spiral)
 En indicates a working or printing move
 Sn dictates how many segments are used to create the arc (or circle); 0.33333 mm is the default value
   S values less than 3.0 dictate the length in mm of each segment for this element
   S values of 3.0 or more dictate how many total segments comprise this element - only allowed on complete circles of 360°
 Rn is a flag; 0 to spiral in (default), 1 to spiral out (after inward jump), 2 spiral out from current position
 Fn is the Feed rate (travel speed) at which to execute this move.

Any values not stipulated remain unchanged. We will print this element with our native Hyrel flow calculations (based on nozzle diameter, layer thickness, and feed rate) even if your gcode has enabled the use of E values with M229 E1 D1.

Example 1

 G2.1 I15 J20 P1.2 E1

This command is decoded and executed by the printer as follows:

G2.1 (working speed clockwise spiral move from the current location)
- (no change in Z)
- (centered about a point located)
- I15 (15mm further in the X)
- J20 (20mm further in the Y)
- (complete all laps)
- P1.2 (1.2 mm between centers of travel of adjacent laps)
- E1 (while extruding)
- (use default S of 0.33333 mm segments)
- (use default R of 0, spiral in toward center from current location)
- (moving at established G1 F speed)

Example 2

 G2.1 Z10 I15 J20 P0.5 L50 E1 S9 R1 F1200

This command is decoded and executed by the printer as follows:

G2.1 (working speed clockwise spiral move from the current location)
- Z10 (change Z position incrementally during move to end at Z10 (relative or absolute, depending on current mode))
- (centered about a point located)
- I15 (15mm further in the X)
- J20 (20mm further in the Y)
- L50 (complete no more than 50 laps)
- P0.5 (0.5 mm between centers of travel of adjacent laps)
- E1 (while extruding)
- S9 (each 360 degrees composted of a total of 9 segments)
- R1 (spiral out from center to current location)
- F1200 (at a speed of 1200 mm/min)

Example 3

 G0 X0 Y25                   ; start location for outer spiral
 G0 Z1                       ; go to print layer height
 G2.1 I25 J0 P4 L3 E1        ; spiral in 3 laps, 4mm pitch 
 G1 X14 E1                   ; add connector for the arcs
 G2.1 I11 J0 P4 L3 E1 R2     ; spiral out 3 laps, 4mm pitch

This gcode generates the following:

G2.2 Spiral CW Arc²

A G2.2 makes a spiral circular move (only supports full 360 arcs, or Ln * 360). This arc is CW if spiraling in and CCW if spiraling out. Unlike G2.1, G2.2 specifies final X/Y (and Z) location. An end Z can be supplied to have a uniform displacement during the move. The number of full 360 arcs can be specified as well as the pitch (centerline between arcs). Unlike G2.1, G2.2 does not require a reverse code as the direction of spiral is determined by the positional relationship of the current position, final position, and center position.

Usage

 G2.2 Xn Yn Zn In Jn Pn Ln En Sn Rn Fn

Parameters

 Xn is the new X position to move to
 Yn is the new Y position to move to
 Zn is the new Z position to end at (optional and usually not stipulated; will be relative or absolute, depending on current mode)
 In is the relative distance from the current X position to the center position about which to arc (default 0)
 Jn is the relative distance from the current Y position to the center position about which to arc (default 0)
   Starting with Motion Controller firmware 4.203a:
   If I and J are both zero (center = start), path will spiral outward CCW from current to final position.
   If I and J match the end (center = end), path will spiral inward CW from current to final position."
 Pn is the pitch (how close the laps are) in mm (optional)
 Ln is the number of laps (or paths) to complete (you don't need to finish the spiral)
   Note, if P and L values conflict, L will be modified to match what P will allow; at least one must be specified
 En indicates a working or printing move
 Sn dictates how many segments are used to create the arc (or circle); 0.33333 mm is the default value
   S values less than 3.0 dictate the length in mm of each segment for this element
   S values of 3.0 or more dictate how many total segments comprise this element - only allowed on complete circles of 360°
 Fn is the Feed rate (travel speed) at which to execute this move.

Any values not stipulated remain unchanged. We will print this element with our native Hyrel flow calculations (based on nozzle diameter, layer thickness, and feed rate) even if your gcode has enabled the use of E values with M229 E1 D1.

Example 3

 G0 X0 Y25                   ; start location for outer spiral
 G0 Z1                       ; go to print layer height
 G2.2 X12 I25 P4 E1          ; spiral in 3 laps, 4mm pitch

G2.3 3-Space CW Arc

A G2.3 move specifies a clockwise arc (or complete circle(s) from the current position to position (X,Y,Z)_curr following a circular arc about the center point (X_curr+I, Y_curr+J, Z_curr+K). Unlike G2, G2.1 and G2.2, G2.3 is not bound to the X/Y plane. The number of full 360 arcs can be specified as well as the pitch (centerline between arcs). Usage

 G2.3 Xn Yn Zn An Bn In Jn Kn Un Vn Wn Dn Pn En Sn Fn

Note: If we are in G16 mode, Un, Vn, Wn define the vector normal to the work plane. If we are in G17 (X/Y plane) or G18 (X/Z plane) or G19 (Y/Z plane) mode, these are ignored.

M203 will redesignate the rate at which G0 movements are executed. If undeclared, the values stored in Repetrel for your equipment will be used. These can be changed under Settings > Printer, on the Printer tab. The values set on your unit are set based on testing; exceed them at your own risk.

Usage

 M203 Xn Yn Zn An Bn

Parameters

 Xn is the new speed in the X axis for G0 moves
 Yn is the new speed in the Y axis for G0 moves
 Zn is the new speed in the Z axis for G0 moves
 An is the new speed in the A axis for G0 moves
 Bn is the new speed in the B axis for G0 moves

Example

 M203 Y2000

This command is decoded and executed by the printer as follows:

M203 (Set G0 Speed)
- (X remains unchanged)
- Y2000 (Y axis: 2000mm/min)
- (Z remains unchanged)
- (A remains unchanged)
- (B remains unchanged)

M674 Use Turbo Mode

M674 will enable Turbo Mode, where certain non-printing (no E value) working (G1, G2, or G3) moves will be treated as G0 moves (executed at "rapid move speed" rather than "working move speed"). Killing a job will clear the M674 setting.

Usage

 M674 Sn

Parameters

 Sn is the minimum distance threshold for Turbo Mode to activate, and is required; no S value returns an error.

Example 1

 M674 S2

This command is decoded and executed by the printer as follows:

M674 (Set Turbo Mode)
- S2 (for moves of 2 mm or greater)

Example 2

 M674 S50

This command is decoded and executed by the printer as follows:

M674 (Set Turbo Mode)
- S50 (for moves of 50 mm or greater)

What's Hotbed 2 and Chamber 2? Well, our Hydra models have room to have a second hotbed, which could be a smaller, higher temperature hotbed, or a sub-ambient chilled bed, or even a High Resolution hotbed. And we've talked about having a smaller chamber inside the primary chamber, to bring the air around the print (but not the head) to much higher temperatures; call for details.

M104 Set Temp (Head)

M104 sets the extruder temperature but does not pause the printer.

Note that the actual T# values can be found on T_v4 or T_v5, depending on which version you are running.

Usage

 M104 Sn T#

Parameters

 Sn is the new set temperature in °C
 T# is the tool assignment for this temperature command

Example

M104 T# S75

This command is decoded and executed by the printer as follows:

M104 (Set Cooling/LEDs)
- T# (target head)
- S75 (to 75°C)

M106 Set Cooling / Etc.

M106 sets the cooling fan (or crosslinking LEDs) speed (or intensity). This also turns on the Quiet Storm fan.

Usage

 M106 Cn

or

 M106 T# Sn

or

 M106 T# Pn

Parameters

 T# is the target head
 Sn is the percent of duty cycle for the cooling fan (or LEDs); default: 100
 Cn is the range (0-100 or 0-255) that we will use; if unspecified, the default is C100 (use C255 to be compatible with most slicers)
 Pn is the percent of duty cycle for the cooling fan (or LEDs) to come on only during extrusion moves

Example

 M106 C255

This command is decoded and executed by the printer as follows:

M106 (Set Cooling/LEDs)
- (on all tools)
- (no speed)
- C255 (of range 0-255)

Note, with this command, all following M106 commands for the rest of this print job will be based on this range (unless specified with a new C value).

Example

 M106 T# S50

This command is decoded and executed by the printer as follows:

M106 (Set Cooling/LEDs)
- T# (target head)
- S50 (target value of 50)
- (previously defined (or default 0-100) range)

Example

M106 T# P100

This command is decoded and executed by the printer as follows:

M106 (Set Cooling/LEDs)
- T# (target head)
- P100 (during extrusion moves at 100% duty cycle

But Davo, I want to cure a certain spot for 10 seconds with every layer change; how do I do this?

Easy. Edit your slicer recipe to add the following code after layer changes (edit as needed for duration, intensity, or position):

 ;---- BEGIN COD CODE
 G91 ; relative moves
 G0 Z5 ; drop bed
 G90 ; absolute moves
 G0 X130 Y110 ; move into position
 M106 S100 T# ; turn on T# UV at 100%
 G1 X140 Y110 F100 ; move 10 mm in the X at 100 mm/min
 G1 X140 Y120 F100 ; move 10 mm in the Y at 100 mm/min
 G1 X130 Y120 F100 ; move -10 mm in the X at 100 mm/min
 G1 X130 Y110 F100 ; move -10 mm in the Y at 100 mm/min
 M106 S0 T# ; turn off T# UV (set it to 0%)
 ;--- END COD GCODE

These commands are decoded and executed by the printer as follows:

G91 (Use relative moves)
G0 (Non-working move)
- Z5 (+5 mm in the Z)
G90 (Use absolute moves)
G0 (Non-working move)
- X130 (To position X130)

- X140 (To position X140)
- Y120 (To position Y120
- F100 (At 100 mm/min)
G1 (Working (printing) move)
- X130 (To position X130)
- Y120 (To position Y120

- Y110 (To position Y110
- F100 (At 100 mm/min)
M106 (Set Aux (UV))
- S0 (0% duty)
- T# (On target head)

M107 Stop Cooling / Etc.

M107 turns off the cooling fan (or crosslinking LEDs); this is essentially the same as an M106 S0 (setting it to 0 percent). This will also turn off the Quiet Storm fan.

Usage

 M107 T#

Parameters

 T# (target head)

Example

M107 T#

This command is decoded and executed by the printer as follows:

M107 (Set Cooling/LEDs to 0%)

Usage

 M109 T# Sn Hn Cn Ln Un Rn W0

Please use EITHER (H and/or C) OR (L and/or U) OR (R) with your M109 command.

Note, this will FAIL (non-fatally) if you address a virtual group address; be sure to use an actual physical address.

Parameters

 T# is the target head - (required)
 Sn (optional) is the new set temperature in °C; if omitted, no new target temperature is set
 Hn if present, is the low-end (or "heat up to") absolute temperature after which we stop pausing

 Un if present, is the upper-end relative temperature difference from set temp after which we stop pausing
 Rn if present, is how close the relative temperature needs to be to the set temp to end the pause
 W0 if present, will set the temp and advance to the next line without pause, but upon executing M116, will pause until temp is reached

Think of Sn as the target temperature, but once the target is between Cn (or Ln) and Hn (or Un), the pause is over (but the Sn is still the set temp to reach. You can use Hn or Ln, but not both. You can use Cn or Un, but not both.

Controlling Material Flow

Controlling Material Flow
Code	Supported	Brief Description
G10	No	Absolute E
G11	No	Relative E
M82	Yes	Absolute E-Values
M83	Yes	Relative E-Values
M221	Yes	Set Flow Rate
M229	Yes	Use E Values
M721	Yes	Set Unprime Values
M722	Yes	Set Prime Values
M723	Yes	Set Manual Flow
M728	Yes	Set Motor Current Boost
M756	Yes	Set Height for Flow

You can specify flow rate variables in your gcode; we do not do this by default, but take these values from the head itself. Any values you stipulate in your gcode will supersede the values stored on the head. With our recipes the slicing program generates gcode which dictates temperature and movement commands and indicates which moves should dispense material (a G1 move with an E value).

However, we have two different ways to control flow.

If you use M229 E1 D1 we will use the E values generated by the slicer for printing moves, but we will always use the prime/unprime settings on the head for advancing and retracting when transitioning between printing and non-printing moves. This allows for varying extrusion widths and layer thicknesses (on the same layer - as with support material). This is how just about all slicers and printers work.

If you do not use that command, we do not use that E value (except to distinguish printing from non-printing moves) we calculate for flow based purely on travel speed, declared layer thickness, and nozzle diameter. This is explained at http://hyrel3d.net/wiki/index.php/Flow_Rate

When a head is loaded, it sends this flow data (how to calculate flow, as well as how much to prime and unprime (advance and retract) material when transitioning between printing and non-printing moves - and even how many primes or unprimes to do in conjunction with a tool change.

In this way, the very same gcode (with temperature changes) can be used with any material, provided you are using the same physical parameters that the model was sliced for.

G10 UNUSED¹

G10 is not recognized by Repetrel.

On some other printers, this will set tool offsets; we do this via M6.

On some other printers, this will do a retract; we do this via M721.

G11 UNUSED

G11 is not recognized by Repetrel.

On some other printers, this will do an advance or unretract; we do this via M722.

M82 Absolute E-Values

M82 stipulates that henceforth, the extrusion positioning (E values) will be calculated from the original (0) point.

Note, this only works on v4 and later, when E values are enabled via M229.

Usage

M82

Parameters

N/A

Example

M82

This command is decoded and executed by the printer as follows:

M82 (use absolute E values)

M83 Relative E-Values

M83 stipulates that henceforth, the extrusion positioning (E values) will be calculated from the relative (last used) point.

Note, this only works on v4 and later, when E values are enabled via M229.

Usage

M83

Parameters

N/A

Example

M83

This command is decoded and executed by the printer as follows:

M83 (use relative E values)

M221 Set Flow Rate

M221 sends information to the printer about material flow.

Note, our default mode is volumetric calculations; if you need to slice with linear calculations, multiply your Pn by approximately 2.4 (you can do the math).

Usage

 M221 Pn Sn Wn Zn T#

Parameters

 Pn is the number of pulses on the motor to dispense 1 μl (for volumetric) or 1 mm (for linear) of material;
 Sn is the direct flow multiplier (to allow for undersized or oversized stock;
 Wn is the width of the cross section of the volume to fill;
 Zn is the height (layer thickness) of the cross section of the volume to fill; and
 T# is the tool (head) to which these values will be applied.

Example

 M221 S1.0 T# P77 W0.5 Z0.3

This command is decoded and executed by the printer as follows:

M221 (set flow rate)
- S1.0 (flow multiplier of 1.0)
- T# (target head)
- P77 (77 pulses per microliter)
- W0.5 (0.5mm nozzle)
- Z0.3 (0.3mm layer thickness - note that your gcode M756 will overwrite this value)

M229 Use E Values

Starting with version 4, Hyrel will begin to enable the use of E-values in your gcode. Variable extrusion width and support/infill thickness slicers, rejoice! Note, calculations are done for every single move individually.

Usage

 M229 En Dn Sn

Parameters

 En can be 0 (native flow calculation) or 1 (use E values)
 Dn how directed to head; see below
   D0 on head controller directly; constant flow, not adjusted for motion acceleration/deceleration
   D1 on motion controller, sent to head via CANBUS and adjusted for motion acceleration/deceleration
   D2 on motion controller, sent to head via C axis step pin and adjusted for motion acceleration/deceleration
   D3 on motion controller, sent to head via CANBUS and C axis and adjusted for motion acceleration/deceleration
 Sn sets a threshold in seconds; isolated non-printing moves below this threshold will not trigger unprime/prime actions

Note: E1 D0 is an illegal combination.

Example 1

 M229 E1 D1

This command is decoded and executed by the printer as follows:

M229 (E values)
- E1 (enabled)
- D1 (flow calculations directed via CANBUS and adjusted to motion acceleration/deceleration)

Above is the default way to enable E values.

Example 2

 M229 E0 D0

This command is decoded and executed by the printer as follows:

M229 (E values)
- E0 (disabled)
- D0 (flow calculations on head controller)

Above is the default way to ignore E values, and is how v3 and earlier releases work.

Example 3

 M229 E0 D1

This command is decoded and executed by the printer as follows:

M229 (E values)
- E0 (disabled)
- D1 (flow calculations directed via CANBUS and adjusted to motion acceleration/deceleration)

Example 4

 M229 E0 D0 S0.02

This command is decoded and executed by the printer as follows:

M229 (E values)
- E0 (disabled)
- D0 (flow calculations on head controller)
- S0.02 (isolated non-printing moves of under 0.02 seconds will not trigger unprime/prime actions)

M721 Set Unprime Values

M721 sends information to the printer about how much material to unprime when a transition from printing move to non-printing move is detected.

Usage

 M721 Sn En Pn T# In

Parameters

 Sn is the speed at which unprime moves should be executed; this is normally 10,000
 En is the number of pulses on the feed (extrusion) motor to execute; this varies greatly among materials
 Pn is the number of milliseconds relative to the end of the move to begin the unprime (retract) action; a negative number initiates this before the end of the move
 T# is the target head
 In is the flag for executing an Immediate action; so M721 I1 would execute an unprime with the previously specified values at that point in the gcode.

Example 1

M721 S10000 E100 P-15 T#

This command is decoded and executed by the printer as follows:

M721 (unprime)
- S10000 (set rate to 10,000 pps)
- E100 (set pulses to 100)
- P-15 (set dwell to 15ms before end of print move )
- T# (on target head)
- (but no immediate execution; execute when needed)

Example 2

M721 T# I1

This command is decoded and executed by the printer as follows:

M721 (unprime)
- T# (on target head)
- I1 (now)

M722 Set Prime Values

M722 sends information to the printer about how much material to prime (advance) when a transition from non-printing move to printing move is detected. This is done primarily to compensate for an earlier unprime (retract), to prep the head to be ready to dispense.

Usage

 M722 Sn En Pn T# In

Parameters

 Sn is the speed at which unprime moves should be executed; this is normally 10,000
 En is the number of pulses on the feed (extrusion) motor to execute; this varies greatly among materials
 Pn is the number of milliseconds to dwell relative to the start of the move to allow for the prime (advance) action
 T# is the target head
 In is the flag for executing an Immediate action; so M722 I1 would execute a prime with the previously specified values at that point in the gcode.

Example

M722 S10000 E100 P-15 T#

This command is decoded and executed by the printer as follows:

M721 (prime)
- S10000 (set rate to 10,000 pps)
- E100 (set pulses to 100)
- P-15 (set dwell to 15ms before end of print move )
- T# (on target head)
- (but no immediate execution; execute when needed)

Example

M722 T# I1

This command is decoded and executed by the printer as follows:

M722 (prime)
- T# (on target head)
- I1 (now)

M723 Set Manual Flow

M723 tells the designated extruder(s) to advance material for the specified number of pulses (on the motor) at the specified rate, regardless of any X/Y/Z movement. It is normally used only during manual operation, not during gcode execution. It can be used after moving to a location to dispense a set amount of material (like depositing material into reservoirs).

M723 is also used to activate and set speed on the stirring apparatus on the DMH dynamic mixing head.

Usage

 M723 Sn En T#

Parameters

 Sn is the speed at which the motor should advance, in pulses per second (default: 500);

The following commands define if new positioning data is defined in inches (G20) or mm (G21); or from the origin (G90) or from the present location (G91). They also stipulate the offsets from one head to another (M6), and how to invoke that offset (T).

G10 UNUSED²

G10 is not recognized by Repetrel.

On some other printers, this will set tool offsets; we do this via M6.

On some other printers, this will do a retract; we do this via M721.

G20 Set Units to Inches

G20 declares that henceforth, measurements will be given in inches.

Working with G20 is experimental and unsupported on Hyrel equipment. Use at your own risk.

Usage

G20

Parameters

N/A

Example

G20

This command is decoded and executed by the printer as follows:

G20 (set units to inches)

G21 Set Units to Millimeters

G21 declares that henceforth, measurements will be given in mm.

Usage

G21

Parameters

N/A

Example

G21

This command is decoded and executed by the printer as follows:

G21 (set units to milimeters)

G28 Send to Physical Home

G28 sends the specified axes to the sensor-defined physical home position, regardless of logically set 0,0, then pop-off and re-acquire the sensor threshold at a slower rate. This pop-off and re-acquire was implemented during v3.

After homing, a G28 also resets current offsets to 0 - including any may have been set with a G92 or an H (as defined in an M660 and invoked on a G1), performs a G53, and applies a head offset of 0 mm (as in an M6 O0).

Any axis not homed will have its position remain unchanged. We do not support intermediate positioning during homing.

Usage

 G28 Xn Yn Zn An Bn I1

Parameters

 X0 ensures that the X axis is homed
 Y0 ensures that the Y axis is homed
 Z0 ensures that the Z axis is homed
 A0 ensures that the A axis is homed
 B0 ensures that the B axis is homed

Example

 G28 X0 Y0

This command is decoded and executed by the printer as follows:

G28 (home axis)
- X0 (X axis to 0)
- Y0 (Y axis to 0)
- (Z remains unchanged)
- (A remains unchanged)
- (B remains unchanged)

G53 Clear Offsets

G53 sets the fixture offsets to (0,0,0,0,0). This takes no arguments or variables. It does not clear stored offset values.

Usage

G53

Parameters

N/A

Example

G53

This command is decoded and executed by the printer as follows:

G53 (set fixture offsets to 0; no effect on H (head) offsets)

G54 - G59 - Set Offsets

G54, G55, G56, G57, G58, and G59 will each store and invoke fixture offsets in the X, Y, Z, A, and/or B axes for all subsequent moves. Any values not invoked will remain with their previous value (0 unless earlier specified otherwise). These offsets apply to all positioning until a new offset is applied, or a G53 is used to clear all offsets.

This graphic shows how printers (OTHER THAN THE EHR) use the G54-G59 offsets:

Note that this differs from an M6, where the offsets are only applied to a SINGLE tool position. These offsets are cumulative with M6 values.

Usage

 G54 (... G59) Xn Yn Zn An Bn

Parameters

 Xn is the offset in mm in the X axis
 Yn is the offset in mm in the Y axis
 Zn is the offset in mm in the Z axis
 An is the offset in mm in the A axis
 Bn is the offset in mm in the B axis

Example

G54 X30 Y-20

This command is decoded and executed by the printer as follows:

G54 (set units to milimeters)
- X30 (add 30mm to all X positions)
- Y-20 (subtract 20mm from all Y positions)
- (no change to prior stored offsets)

Example

G55

This command is decoded and executed by the printer as follows:

G55 (apply new fixture offsets)
- (no variable: use previous G55 values, or as stored under Settings > Printer > Fixture Offsets)

M6 Declare Head Offsets

M6 declares that a particular head holds a set of X, Y, and/or Z offsets, which will be invoked during a T (tool change) command. Repetrel reads this data from the heads, and sends it to the printer before the gcode file is loaded.

Usage

 M6 T# On Xn Yn Zn An Bn Dn In Kn

Parameters

 T# is the Tool position for which these offsets are being set
 On is the Offset position where these are being stored
 Xn is the offset in the X axis
 Yn is the offset in the Y axis
 Zn is the offset in the Z axis
 An is the offset in the A axis
 Bn is the offset in the B axis
 Dn is the current tool diameter (used with pocket commands)
 In non-persistent; can be default 0 (store values but do not move these distances) or 1 (store values and move these distances)
 Kn persistent setting; can be default 0 (use I value) or 1 (ignore I1 and always act with I0)

Example

 M6 T# O1 X20 Y-30 Z40

This happens (for every head loaded) when you click print, and the head values are sent to the Motion Controller.

This command is decoded and executed by the printer as follows:

M6 (Declare Head Offsets)
- T# (target head)
- O1 (offset stored in register "O1")
- X20 (X+20)
- Y-30 (Y-30)
- Z40 (Z+40)
- (no change to A)
- (no change to B)
- (no diameter change)
- (no move)

Example

 M6 T# O1 X20 Y-30 Z40 I1

This happens when you execute a tool change with T#, and so it triggers the move (I1) to properly position the next head.

This command is decoded and executed by the printer as follows:

M6 (Declare Head Offsets)
- T# (target head)
- O1 (offset stored in register "O1")
- X20 (X+20)
- Y-30 (Y-30)
- Z40 (Z+40)
- (no change to A)
- (no change to B)
- (no diameter change)
- (store and move distances)

Example

 M6 K1

You might include this in your header to change behavior during tool changes.

This command is decoded and executed by the printer as follows:

M6 (Declare Head Offsets)
- (all future T# or M6 commands)
- (no offset registers, so ignore all offsets)
- K1 (always force I0 with M6 unless K0 present (or has been previously set)

Note that this differs from a G54-G59, where the offsets are applied to EVERY tool position.

M660 Assign Tool Height Offset

Used with the High Resolution Engine (and other units which home away from O, like a CNC), an M660 declares that a particular head, when called upon, should print at the gcode-based Z position MODIFIED by this offset, since on these units, the Z-Zero is often BELOW the print surface. By default, this is ONLY used on the EHR (Engine, High Resolution)

NOTE: You MUST have a G28 Z0 in your header to run this M660 on the EHR.

Usage

 M660 Hn Zn
 (followed by)
 G1 Xn Yn Zn Fn Hn (see #G1_Working_Move for other details

Parameters

 H is the head offset registern for which these offsets are being set;
 Z is the offset in the Z axis in mm.

Example 1

 M660 H2 Z28.2       ; (specified before any moves)
 (followed by)
 G1 X50 Y75 F4800 H2   ; (specified on the first G1 move)

This command is decoded and executed by the printer as follows:

M660 (apply offset)
- H2 (store in register 2)
- Z28.2 (+28.2 to Z position)
(there may be more commands before the G1 move invoking the H2)
G1 (working speed straight line move from the current location to)
- X50 (50mm in the X)
- Y75 (75mm in the Y)
- (no change in Z)
- E1 (while extruding)
- F1800 (moving at 1800mm/min)
- H2 (invoke offsets stored in register H2)

To be clear, this requires editing two lines of code:

In your gcode, you will enter the M660 just before the first layer code. Example: M660 H2 Z28.2 ; set tool height for tool two (Z offset). On the first move of layer one (usually the Z move), you will add an H value so that this tool height is invoked.

Example 2

Before editing:

 G1 Z0.275 F360      ; move to next layer (0)
 (followed by)
 G1 X50 Y75 F4800

After editing:

 G1 Z0.275 F360 H2   ; move to next layer (0) and invoke head Z offset for this tool
 (followed by)
 G1 X50 Y75 F4800 H2

M702 - M704 Cloning Heads

Clone, slave, or parallel printing, is when multiple heads make the exact same print at the same time.

Usage of these commands with version 4 and earlier is explained on T_v4.

Usage of these commands with version 5 and later is explained on T_v5.

T Tool Change

T executes a tool change, invoking the parameters specified in the M6 sent from Repetrel to the printer at the job start. Do not confuse a T command with a T variable.

See the first entry on this page for details.

Other Commands

Other Commands
Code	Supported	Brief Description
M17	Yes	Engage Motors
M18	Yes	Disengage Motors
M30	Yes	End of Program
M84	Yes	Disable Motors
M790	Yes	New Layer Actions
M791	Yes	Snap Image
M792	Yes	Execute Action

Other commands.

M17 Engage Motors

M17 will apply power to all motors (positioning and extruder motors), locking them at their current postion; this prevents the bed and yoke from being pushed manually in the X and Y.

Note that an M18 or M84 will disengage motors on ESR and 30M models, but 16A and EHR models use different controllers, and these commands do not unlock the motors. On a 16A or a 30M, you may engage the emergency stop for the same effect.

Usage

M17

Parameters

N/A

Example

M17

This command is decoded and executed by the printer as follows:

M17 (engage motors)

M18 Disengage Motors

M18 will cut power to all motors (positioning and extruder motors), unlocking them; this allows the motors to cool down (as they normally lock in place while still), as well as allowing one to manually push the bed and yoke in the X and Y. It also notifies the GUI that motors are disabled. All axes with homes must be rehomed after an M18.

Note this is identical to M84 and the opposite of M17.

Note that an M18 or M84 will disengage motors on ESR and 30M models, but 16A and EHR models use different controllers, and these commands do not unlock the motors. On a 16A or a 30M, you may engage the emergency stop for the same effect.

Usage

M18

Parameters

N/A

Example

M18

This command is decoded and executed by the printer as follows:

M18 (disengage motors)

M30 End of Program

M30 tells the printer that this job is complete. No gocde after an M30 will be executed as part of the previous job.

Note M30 also dissolves any cloning setups, changes head index to 0, clears fixture offsets (G53), clears any M229 E-value settings, resets M106 persistent range, resets any printing errors, resets M660 head offsets to 0, resets heads to their stored values, and triggers any queued reports.

Usage

M30

Parameters

N/A

Example

M30

This command is decoded and executed by the printer as follows:

M30 (end or program)

M84 Disable Motors

M84 invokes an M18. Please see M18 for usage.

Note that an M18 or M84 will disengage motors on ESR and 30M models, but 16A and EHR models use different controllers, and these commands do not unlock the motors. On a 16A or a 30M, you may engage the emergency stop for the same effect.

M790 New Layer Actions

M790 will trigger any associated new layer actions, which can include capturing an image from the designated camera. It takes no parameters.

M791 Snap Image

M791 will cause the camera selected under the Interface > Camera1 tab, if set to live video, to capture an image and save it to C:\Users\hyrel\Pictures\HyrelPrinterPictures\Camera1, named pic#.png

M792 Execute Action

M792 causes Repetrel to perform an action, such as displaying an image or making a warning beep.

Usage

 M792 [ SAY | PIC | VID | SEND | BEEP | SHELL ]

Parameters

 SAY sample message - the computer will use built-in text-to-speech to echo the message over the speaker(s)
 PIC C:\sample.jpg - the computer will display the image at the specified location
 VID C:\sample.mp4 - the computer will play the video at the specified location
 SEND sample message - the computer will send the message to the Aux port if connected
 BEEP - the computer will sound a beep
 SHELL C:\program.exe - the computer will execute the file at the specified location

Note that multiple options can be combined.

Example

 M792 ; SAY Hello Wilbur ; PIC C:\mr_ed.png

This command is decoded and executed by the printer as follows:

M792 (execute action)
- SAY Hello Wilbur (Announce Text: Hello Wilbur)
- PIC C:\mr_ed.png (Display Image: C:\mr_ed.png)

+When you start a job (by pressing "Print"), the settings from your head are sent to the printer (including flow and prime/unprime values); then the gcode file is sent, line by line, to the printer.
-We will use a '''T#''' in the descriptions below to avoid confusion; please find the correct designation for your version by following the links above.
+All parameters are persistent, so once they are set, they will remain in place unless or until you (or the file) sends a new, updated value (including setting to 0).
-'''[[#What_is_GCode.3F|Back to top]]'''
+Please note that there are many flavors of gcode, and while most have the same (or very similar) G0-G100 and M0-M100, codes above 100 are largely nonstandard.
-== '''Controlling Movement''' ==
+''It is important to remember that different variable letters can have different meanings, depending on the G- or M- code being used'' - '''''especially the T value.'''''
-=== G0 Rapid Move ===
+The Table of Contents to the right lists the main categories of Gcodes.
-G0 is a rapid positioning move. It is not a ''working'' move, meaning that your equipment will not be printing, milling, lasering, or doing any other active work during a G0 move. G0 is intended to move your tool to a new position, where the work will happen. Accordingly, G0 movement speeds are set in your configuration settings, rather than being specified in your gcode file.
+Below is a table listing them in numerical order (click '''Expand''' to expand):
-Special note: a G0 command will take an F variable as a nonpersistent, one-time velocity setting.

-A G2.1 makes a spiral circular move (only supports full 360 arcs, or '''Ln''' * 360). Effective ending X/Y is always the same as the current XY and is not specified (though the actual final position is a function of the number of laps, the pitch, and the reverse code. An end Z can be supplied to have a uniform displacement during the move. The number of full 360 arcs can be specified as well as the pitch (centerline between arcs).  An important feature is the "reverse code" to allow the creation of frog toes without having to jump over the frog toe once it's made.

-=== G16 Arc Plane: Any ===
+=== G2.1 Spiral CW Arc<sup>1</sup> ===
-G16 permits free-form designation of points in space, without limiting them to an axial plane.
+A G2.1 makes a spiral circular move (only supports full 360 arcs, or '''Ln''' * 360). This arc is CW if spiraling in and CCW if spiraling out. Effective ending X/Y is always the same as the current XY and is not specified (though the actual final position is a function of the number of laps, the pitch, and the reverse code. An end Z can be supplied to have a uniform displacement during the move. The number of full 360 arcs can be specified as well as the pitch (centerline between arcs).  An important feature is the "reverse code" to allow the creation of frog toes without having to jump over the frog toe once it's made.

-== '''Controlling Material Flow''' ==
+<span style="color:darkorange;">This command is decoded and executed by the printer as follows:
-You can specify flow rate variables in your gcode; we do not do this by default, but take these values from the head itself. Any values you stipulate in your gcode will supersede the values stored on the head. With our recipes the slicing program generates gcode which dictates temperature and movement commands and indicates which moves should dispense material (a G1 move with an E value).
-However, we have two different ways to control flow.
-* If you use '''M229 E1 D1''' we will use the E values generated by the slicer. This allows for varying extrusion widths and layer thicknesses (on the same layer - as with support material). This is how just about all slicers and printers work.
-* If you do not use that command, we do not use that E value (except to distinguish printing from non-printing moves) we calculate for flow based purely on travel speed, declared layer thickness, and nozzle diameter. This is explained at http://hyrel3d.net/wiki/index.php/Flow_Rate
-When a head is loaded, it sends this flow data (how to calculate flow, as well as how much to prime and unprime (advance and retract) material when transitioning between printing and non-printing moves - and even how many primes or unprimes to do in conjunction with a tool change.
-In this way, the very same gcode (with temperature changes) can be used with any material, provided you are using the same physical parameters that the model was sliced for.

+You can specify flow rate variables in your gcode; we do not do this by default, but take these values from the head itself. Any values you stipulate in your gcode will supersede the values stored on the head. With our recipes the slicing program generates gcode which dictates temperature and movement commands and indicates which moves should dispense material (a G1 move with an E value).
-<hr>
-=== M728 Set Motor Current Boost ===
+However, we have two different ways to control flow.
-M728 will set the motor current boost; default is 0.
+* If you use '''M229 E1 D1''' we will use the E values generated by the slicer ''for printing moves, but we will always use the prime/unprime settings on the head for advancing and retracting when transitioning between printing and non-printing moves.'' This allows for varying extrusion widths and layer thicknesses (on the same layer - as with support material). This is how just about all slicers and printers work.
-'''Usage'''
+* If you do not use that command, we do not use that E value (except to distinguish printing from non-printing moves) we calculate for flow based purely on travel speed, declared layer thickness, and nozzle diameter. This is explained at http://hyrel3d.net/wiki/index.php/Flow_Rate
-  M728 Sn T#
+When a head is loaded, it sends this flow data (how to calculate flow, as well as how much to prime and unprime (advance and retract) material when transitioning between printing and non-printing moves - and even how many primes or unprimes to do in conjunction with a tool change.
-'''Parameters'''
+In this way, the very same gcode (with temperature changes) can be used with any material, provided you are using the same physical parameters that the model was sliced for.

-=== M660 Assign Tool Height Offset ===
+=== G21 Set Units to Millimeters ===
-Used with the High Resolution Engine (and other units which home away from O, like a CNC), an M660 declares that a particular head, when called upon, should print at the gcode-based Z position MODIFIED by this offset, since on these units, the Z-Zero is often BELOW the print surface. By default, this is ONLY used on the EHR (Engine, High Resolution)
+G21 declares that henceforth, measurements will be given in mm.
-NOTE: You MUST have a '''G28 Z0''' in your header to run this M660 on the EHR.

-In your gcode, you will enter the M660 just before the first layer code. Example: <code>M660 H2 Z28.2 ; set tool height for tool two (Z offset)</code>. On the first move of layer one (usually the Z move), you will add an <code>H</code> value so that this tool height is invoked.
+=== G28 Send to Physical Home ===
-'''Example 2'''
+G28 sends the specified axes to the sensor-defined physical home position, regardless of logically set 0,0, then pop-off and re-acquire the sensor threshold at a slower rate. This pop-off and re-acquire was implemented during v3.

+=== M783 Tie Aux to Extrusion ===
+M783 can tie some auxiliary port (like Aux 1, normally controlled by M7, or Aux 2, normally controlled by M8, etc.) to be powered (at 100%) during a certain head's extrusion. Some users use this so that they can print with Ultimus or Viscotec heads on our equipment. See also [[#M7_Set_Power_On_Aux_1|M7]] and [[#M8_Set_Power_On_Aux_2|M8]].
+Note: M619 can be used to map which port M783 ties to - contact us for more information.
+'''Usage'''
+  M783 T#

+Other commands.
+=== M17 Engage Motors ===
+M17 will apply power to all motors (positioning and extruder motors), locking them at their current postion; this prevents the bed and yoke from being pushed manually in the X and Y.
+Note that an '''M18''' or '''M84''' will disengage motors on ESR and 30M models, but 16A and EHR models use different controllers, and these commands do not unlock the motors. On a 16A or a 30M, you may engage the emergency stop for the same effect.
+'''Usage'''
+  M17
+'''Parameters'''
+  N/A
+'''Example'''
+  M17
+This command is decoded and executed by the printer as follows:
+* '''M17''' (engage motors)
+<br>
+<hr>
+=== M18 Disengage Motors ===
+M18 will cut power to all motors (positioning and extruder motors), unlocking them; this allows the motors to cool down (as they normally lock in place while still), as well as allowing one to manually push the bed and yoke in the X and Y. It also notifies the GUI that motors are disabled. All axes with homes must be rehomed after an M18.
+Note this is identical to '''M84''' and the opposite of '''M17'''.
+Note that an '''M18''' or '''M84''' will disengage motors on ESR and 30M models, but 16A and EHR models use different controllers, and these commands do not unlock the motors. On a 16A or a 30M, you may engage the emergency stop for the same effect.
+'''Usage'''
+  M18
+'''Parameters'''
+  N/A
+'''Example'''
+  M18
+This command is decoded and executed by the printer as follows:
+* '''M18''' (disengage motors)
+<br>
+<hr>
+=== M30 End of Program ===
+M30 tells the printer that this job is complete. No gocde after an M30 will be executed as part of the previous job.
+Note M30 also dissolves any cloning setups, changes head index to 0, clears fixture offsets (G53), clears any M229 E-value settings, resets M106 persistent range, resets any printing errors, resets M660 head offsets to 0, resets heads to their stored values, and triggers any queued reports.
+'''Usage'''
+  M30
+'''Parameters'''
+  N/A
+'''Example'''
+  M30
+This command is decoded and executed by the printer as follows:
+* '''M30''' (end or program)
+<br>
+<hr>
+=== M84 Disable Motors ===
+M84 invokes an M18. Please see M18 for usage.
+Note that an '''M18''' or '''M84''' will disengage motors on ESR and 30M models, but 16A and EHR models use different controllers, and these commands do not unlock the motors. On a 16A or a 30M, you may engage the emergency stop for the same effect.
+<br>
+<hr>
+=== M790 New Layer Actions ===
+M790 will trigger any associated new layer actions, which can include capturing an image from the designated camera. It takes no parameters.
+=== M791 Snap Image ===
+M791 will cause the camera selected under the Interface > Camera1 tab, if set to live video, to capture an image and save it to <code>C:\Users\hyrel\Pictures\HyrelPrinterPictures\Camera1</code>, named <code>pic#.png</code>
+=== M792 Execute Action ===
+M792 causes Repetrel to perform an action, such as displaying an image or making a warning beep.
+'''Usage'''
+  M792 [ SAY | PIC | VID | SEND | BEEP | SHELL ]
+'''Parameters'''
+  '''SAY sample message''' - the computer will use built-in text-to-speech to echo the message over the speaker(s)
+  '''PIC C:\sample.jpg''' - the computer will display the image at the specified location
+  '''VID C:\sample.mp4''' - the computer will play the video at the specified location
+  '''SEND sample message''' - the computer will send the message to the Aux port if connected
+  '''BEEP''' - the computer will sound a beep
+  '''SHELL C:\program.exe''' - the computer will execute the file at the specified location
+Note that multiple options can be combined.
+'''Example'''
+  M792 ; SAY Hello Wilbur ; PIC C:\mr_ed.png
+This command is decoded and executed by the printer as follows:
+* '''M792''' (execute action)
+** '''SAY Hello Wilbur''' (Announce Text: Hello Wilbur)
