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 normally set to a maximum on your equipment, via your configuration settings, rather than being specified in your gcode file. | G0 is a rapid positioning move.

Everything your Hyrel 3D Printer does is done by executing GCode, whether you are aware of it or not.
Below, I will explain those gcodes about which we get the most questions.
Movement
There are two primary movement commands: G0 and G1, and are thus explained:
G0
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 normally set to a maximum on your equipment, via your configuration settings, rather than being specified in your gcode file.
| Actual Code | Behavior | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| G0 X50 Y50 | Makes a (rapid) non-printing move from current position to X50 Y50. |
These can be absolute or relative distances, depending on your environment. Use G90 to use absolute distances; use G91 to use relative distances. |
