So I can do this quite easily on many other printers I have but It seems a challenge on the Snapmaker…
I just simply after homing want to be able to execute a GCode command to move to a specific location based ion thge Machine Co-ordinates (i.e. as defined by the markings on the CNC or print bed).
So after Homing I do a G90 to go to absolute positioning mode: and then do say G0 X125 and it goex to X108. This is happening because of the X axis home being -17. But im in absolute positionin here it should just go to X125. Subsequent further Gcode command move correctly to the absolute position requested (but always out by -17).
For the Y axis, Homing then G90 and a G0 Y100 does absolutely nothing? when it should take the Y axis from 352 to 100. Only way to move is via the jog commands
For Z axis Homing then a G90 and a G0 Z100 again does absolutely nothing? When it should take the Z axis down from 334 to 100mm Only way to move is via the jog commands
I am miisng something here? Or can this be fixed. And what would be really nice is to just be able to type in the machine co-ordinates box where you want to place the head and it just go there!
