Hello all- I am looking to add to my generic mega/ramps setup a way to control the print head such that it is always "facing the direction in which the print head is moving". Basically, similar to this but without the wire layering: Any suggestions on how to go about this by modifying the Marlin firmware such that the 2nd extruder on RAMPS gives directional commands?

Thanks for the response Olaf. I've actually looked into that to no avail. It doesn't seem to make much sense. Is there a postprocessing program you recommend?by aleroux2015 - Firmware - mainstream and related support
Hello all! I am working on modifying some gcode running on marlin firmware. Does anyone know how to set the extruder to a specific position (angle) WHILE gcode is running a print (NOT manual control). In manual control, G1 E will do the trick every time (the stepper acts like a servo motor basically). But when I run the gcode while the print is running the extruder will run for the length of tby aleroux2015 - Firmware - mainstream and related support
I know this thread is a year old but does anyone have a suggestion on how to go about this with RAMPS? A way to hack the GCODE to control a slew drive? Thanks!by aleroux2015 - Wire and Thread Embedded Extrusion
