Does anyone know if there is any built in offsets? I have a T0 and T1 print head with a 40mm spacing.
I am trying to print with support material.
I am attempting to insert the following
support_start
T1
G1 X-20 F5000
support_end
T0
G1 X+20 F5000
My results are that it does switch print heads, but the print head wants to home back to Xmin end stop. Then it comes back and starts printing next to my object.
I have tested this code on its own and it does move to the correct location.
here is a snip of the generated code.
Here is the transition from T0 to T1

It should just switch toolheads and set the Tool head + or - 20. Or am I simplifying this too much.. Why is it homing to my X min endstop??
I am also thinking that it is taking me to position -20 that is not on my +300 x +300 grid. So that is why it is trying to run off the board. If that is the case, then how do I Add +20 or -20 and keep the same coordinates?
Thanks
Jeff
