This page tries to describe the flavour of G-codes that the RepRap firmwares use and how they work. The main target is additive fabrication using FFF/FDM processes. Codes for print head movements follow the NIST RS274NGC G-code standard, so RepRap firmwares are quite usable for CNC milling and similar applications, too.
There are a few different ways to prepare GCode for a printer. One is to use a slicer like Slic3r, Skeinforge or Cura. These programs take a CAD model, slice it into layers, and output the GCode required for each layer. Slicers are the easiest way to go from a 3D model to a printed part, but the user sacrifices some flexibility when using them. Another option for GCode generation is to use a lower level library like mecode. Libraries like mecode give you precise control over the tool path, and thus are useful if you have a complex print that is not suitable for naive slicing. The final option is to just write the GCode yourself. This may be the best choice if you just need to run a few test lines while calibrating your printer.
As many different firmwares exist and their developers tend to implement new features without discussing strategies or looking what others did before them, a lot of different sub-flavours for the 3D-Printer specific codes developed over the years.

Introduction
A typical piece of Gcode as sent to a RepRap machine might look like this:
N3 T0*57 N4 G92 E0*67 N5 G28*22 N6 G1 F1500.0*82 N7 G1 X2.0 Y2.0 F3000.0*85 N8 G1 X3.0 Y3.0*33
Gcode can also be stored in files on SD cards. A file containing RepRap Gcode usually has the extension .g, .gco or .gcode. Files for BFB/RapMan have the extension .bfb. Gcode stored in file or produced by a slicer might look like this:
G92 E0 G28 G1 F1500 G1 X2.0 Y2.0 F3000 G1 X3.0 Y3.0
The meaning of all those symbols and numbers (and more) is explained below.
To find out which specific Gcode(s) are implemented in any given firmware, there are little tables attached to the command descriptions, like this one:
Support | Marlin | RepRapFirmware | Klipper | Prusa | Buddy | Repetier | Smoothie | Druid | MK4duo |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Partial | ??? | ??? | ??? | ??? | Experimental | depreciated | ??? | ??? | |
grbl | Sprinter | BFB | FiveD | Machinekit | Redeem | Teacup | Yaskawa | MakerBot | |
??? | No | ??? | Yes | ??? | ??? | automatic | ??? | ??? |
Here means:
- {{yes}}
- The Gcode is fully supported by the firmware.
- {{partial}} or {{experimental}}
- There is some support for the Gcode. Often it is required to check out the source code branch for the firmware (usually stored in a different branch) or to flip configuration switches on the mainboard.
- automatic
- The firmware handles this Gcode automatically, so there's no need to send the command. An example is power supply on/off Gcode (M80/M81) in the Teacup firmware.
- ???
- It is unknown if the firmware supports this Gcode. You may want to test this yourself before using it in production.
- {{no}}
- The firmware does not support this Gcode.
- depreciated
- The firmware depreciated this Gcode. The firmware author(s) should amend the depreciated Gcode on this page with workarounds (if needed) and the last supported firmware version that will accept this Gcode.
For the technically minded, Gcode line endings are Unix Line Endings (\n), but will accept Windows Line Endings (\r\n), so you should not need to worry about converting between the two, but it is best practice to use Unix Line Endings where possible.
Fields
A RepRap Gcode is a list of fields that are separated by white spaces or line breaks. A field can be interpreted as a command, parameter, or for any other special purpose. It consists of one letter directly followed by a number, or can be only a stand-alone letter (Flag). The letter gives information about the meaning of the field (see the list below in this section). Numbers can be integers (128) or fractional numbers (12.42), depending on context. For example, an X coordinate can take integers (X175) or fractionals (X17.62), but selecting extruder number 2.76 would make no sense. In this description, the numbers in the fields are represented by nnn as a placeholder.
Letter | Meaning |
---|---|
Gnnn | Standard GCode command, such as move to a point |
Mnnn | RepRap-defined command, such as turn on a cooling fan |
Tnnn | Select tool nnn. In RepRap, tools are extruders |
Snnn | Command parameter, such as time in seconds; temperatures; voltage to send to a motor |
Pnnn | Command parameter, such as time in milliseconds; proportional (Kp) in PID Tuning |
Xnnn | A X coordinate, usually to move to. This can be an Integer or Fractional number. |
Ynnn | A Y coordinate, usually to move to. This can be an Integer or Fractional number. |
Znnn | A Z coordinate, usually to move to. This can be an Integer or Fractional number. |
Innn | Parameter - X-offset in arc move; integral (Ki) in PID Tuning |
Jnnn | Parameter - Y-offset in arc move |
Dnnn | Parameter - used for diameter; derivative (Kd) in PID Tuning |
Hnnn | Parameter - used for heater number in PID Tuning |
Fnnn | Feedrate in mm per minute. (Speed of print head movement) |
Rnnn | Parameter - used for temperatures |
Qnnn | Parameter - not currently used |
Ennn | Length of extrudate. This is exactly like X, Y and Z, but for the length of filament to extrude. |
Nnnn | Line number. Used to request repeat transmission in the case of communications errors. |
*nnn | Checksum. Used to check for communications errors. |
Comments
Gcode comments begin at a semicolon, and end at the end of the line:
N3 T0*57 ; This is a comment N4 G92 E0*67 ; So is this N5 G28*22
Comments and white space will be ignored by your RepRap Printer. It's better to strip these out on the host computer before sending the Gcode to your printer, as this saves bandwidth.
Special fields
N: Line number
Support | Marlin | RepRapFirmware | Klipper | Prusa | Buddy | Repetier | Smoothie | Druid | MK4duo |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Yes | ??? | ??? | ??? | ??? | Yes | ??? | ??? | ??? | |
grbl | Sprinter | BFB | FiveD | Machinekit | Redeem | Teacup | Yaskawa | MakerBot | |
? | Yes | ??? | Yes | ??? | ??? | Yes | ??? | ??? |
Example: N123
If present, the line number should be the first field in a line. For G-code stored in files on SD cards the line number is usually omitted.
If checking is supported, the RepRap firmware expects line numbers to increase by 1 each line, and if that doesn't happen it is flagged as an error. But you can reset the count using M110 (see below).
*: Checksum
Support | Marlin | RepRapFirmware | Klipper | Prusa | Buddy | Repetier | Smoothie | Druid | MK4duo |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Yes | ??? | ??? | ??? | ??? | Yes | ??? | ??? | ??? | |
grbl | Sprinter | BFB | FiveD | Machinekit | Redeem | Teacup | Yaskawa | MakerBot | |
? | Yes | ??? | Yes | ??? | ??? | Yes | ??? | ??? |
Example: *71
If present, the checksum should be the last field in a line, but before a comment. For G-code stored in files on SD cards the checksum is usually omitted.
If checking is supported, the RepRap firmware checks the checksum against a locally-computed value and, if they differ, requests a repeat transmission of the line of the given number.
Checking
Support | Marlin | RepRapFirmware | Klipper | Prusa | Buddy | Repetier | Smoothie | Druid | MK4duo |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Yes | ??? | ??? | ??? | ??? | Yes | ??? | ??? | ??? | |
grbl | Sprinter | BFB | FiveD | Machinekit | Redeem | Teacup | Yaskawa | MakerBot | |
? | Yes | ??? | Yes | ??? | ??? | Yes | ??? | ??? |
Example: N123 [...G Code in here...] *71
The RepRap firmware checks the line number and the checksum. You can leave both of these out - RepRap will still work, but it won't do checking. You have to have both or neither though. If only one appears, it produces an error.
The checksum "cs" for a GCode string "cmd" (including its line number) is computed by exor-ing the bytes in the string up to and not including the * character as follows:
int cs = 0; for(i = 0; cmd[i] != '*' && cmd[i] != NULL; i++) cs = cs ^ cmd[i]; cs &= 0xff; // Defensive programming...
and the value is appended as a decimal integer to the command after the * character.
Buffering
Support | Marlin | RepRapFirmware | Klipper | Prusa | Buddy | Repetier | Smoothie | Druid | MK4duo |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

grbl | Sprinter | BFB | FiveD | Machinekit | Redeem | Teacup | Yaskawa | MakerBot | |
??? | ??? | ??? | Yes | ??? | ??? | Yes | ??? | ??? |
If buffering is supported, the RepRap firmware stores some commands in a ring buffer internally for execution. This means that there is no (appreciable) delay while a command is acknowledged and the next transmitted. In turn, this means that sequences of line segments can be plotted without a dwell between one and the next. As soon as one of these buffered commands is received it is acknowledged and stored locally. If the local buffer is full, then the acknowledgment is delayed until space for storage in the buffer is available. This is how flow control is achieved.
Typically, the following moving commands are buffered: G0-G3 and G28-G32. The Teacup Firmware buffers also some setting commands: G20, G21, G90 and G91. All other G, M or T commands are not buffered.
When an unbuffered command is received it is stored, but it is not acknowledged to the host until the buffer is exhausted and then the command has been executed. Thus the host will pause at one of these commands until it has been done. Short pauses between these commands and any that might follow them do not affect the performance of the machine.
G-commands
G0 & G1: Move

Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | No | ??? | Yes | ??? | Yes |
- G0 : Rapid linear Move
- G1 : Linear Move
- Usage
- G0 Xnnn Ynnn Znnn Ennn Fnnn Snnn
- G1 Xnnn Ynnn Znnn Ennn Fnnn Snnn
- Parameters
- Not all parameters need to be used, but at least one has to be used
- Xnnn The position to move to on the X axis
- Ynnn The position to move to on the Y axis
- Znnn The position to move to on the Z axis
- Ennn The amount to extrude between the starting point and ending point
- Fnnn The feedrate per minute of the move between the starting point and ending point (if supplied)
- Snnn Flag to check if an endstop was hit (S1 to check, S0 to ignore, S2 see note, default is S0)1
- Examples
- G0 X12 (move to 12mm on the X axis)
- G0 F1500 (Set the feedrate to 1500mm/minute)
- G1 X90.6 Y13.8 E22.4 (Move to 90.6mm on the X axis and 13.8mm on the Y axis while extruding 22.4mm of material)
The RepRap firmware spec treats G0 and G1 as the same command, since it's just as efficient as not doing so.2
Most RepRap firmwares do subtle things with feedrates.
1. G1 F1500 2. G1 X50 Y25.3 E22.4
In the above example, we set the feedrate to 1500mm/minute on line 1, then move to 50mm on the X axis and 25.3mm on the Y axis while extruding 22.4mm of filament between the two points.
1. G1 F1500 2. G1 X50 Y25.3 E22.4 F3000
However, in the above example, we set a feedrate of 1500 mm/minute on line 1, then do the move described above accelerating to a feedrate of 3000 mm/minute as it does so. The extrusion will accelerate along with the X and Y movement, so everything stays synchronized.
The RepRap spec treats the feedrate as simply another variable (like X, Y, Z, and E) to be linearly interpolated. This gives complete control over the acceleration and deceleration of the printer head in such a way that ensures that everything moves smoothly together, and the right volume of material is extruded at all points.3
To reverse the extruder by a given amount (for example to reduce its internal pressure while it does an in-air movement so that it doesn't dribble) simply use G0 or G1 to send an E value that is less than the currently extruded length.
Notes
1Some firmwares allow for the RepRap to enable or disable the "sensing" of endstops during a move. Please check with whatever firmware you are using to see if they support the S parameter in this way, as damage may occur if you assume incorrectly. In the dc42 fork of RepRapFirmware, using the S1 or S2 parameter on a delta printer causes the XYZ parameters to refer to the individual tower motor positions instead of the head position, and to enable endstop detection as well if the parameter is S1.
2In the RS274NGC Spec, G0 is Rapid Move, which was used to move between the current point in space and the new point as quickly and efficiently as possible, and G1 is Controlled Move, which was used to move between the current point in space and the new point as precise as possible.
3Some firmwares may not support setting the feedrate inline with a move.
4zpl and dc42 forks of RepRapFirmware implement an additional 'R1' parameter to tell the machine to go back to the coordinates a print was originally paused at.
Some older machines, CNC or otherwise, used to move faster if they did not move in a straight line. This is also true for some non-Cartesian printers, like delta or polar printers, which move easier and faster in a curve.

In this case sit still doing nothing for 200 milliseconds. During delays the state of the machine (for example the temperatures of its extruders) will still be preserved and controlled.
On Marlin and Smoothie, the "S" parameter will wait for seconds, while the "P" parameter will wait for milliseconds. "G4 S2" and "G4 P2000" are equivalent.

Example: G10 P3 X17.8 Y-19.3 Z0.0 R140 S205
This sets the offset for tool (or in older implementations extrude head) 3 (from the P3) to the X and Y values specified. You can put a non-zero Z value in as well, but this is usually a bad idea unless the tools are loaded and unloaded by some sort of tool changer. When all the tools are in the machine at once they should all be set to the same Z height.
Remember that any parameter that you don't specify will automatically be set to the last value for that parameter. That usually means that you want explicitly to set Z0.0.
The R value is the standby temperature in oC that will be used for the tool, and the S value is its operating temperature. If you don't want the tool to be at a different temperature when not in use, set both values the same. See the T code (select tool) below. In tools with multiple heaters the temperatures for them all are specified thus: R100.0:90.0:20.0 S185.0:200.0:150.0 .
The NIST G-code standard mentions an additional L parameter, which is ignored.
This command is subject to discussion.
Note that Marlin and Smoothie use G10/G11 for executing a retraction/unretraction move. The RepRapPro version of Marlin supports G10 for tool offset.
Duet-zpl allows tool heaters to be switched off if the absolute negative temperature (-273.15) is passed as active and standby temperature. In this case the current active and standby temperatures are not affected.

- Parameters
- This command can be used without any additional parameters.
- X Flag to go back to the X axis origin
- Y Flag to go back to the Y axis origin
- Z Flag to go back to the Z axis origin
- Examples
- G28 (Go to origin on all axes)
- G28 X Z (Go to origin only on the X and Z axis)
When the RepRap firmware receives this command, it moves all (or the supplied) axis's back to the zero endstops as quickly as it can, then backs off by a millimeter and slowly moves back to the zero endstop activation points to increase position accuracy. This process is also known as "Homing".
If you add coordinates, these coordinates are ignored. For example, G28 Z0.00
results in the same behaviour as G28 Z
.
When Duet-dc42 firmware is used to control a delta printer, any G28 command will home all three towers, regardless of any XYZ letters.

In its simplest form probes bed at current XY location.
Some implementations allow more general behaviour: if a Pn field is specified the probed X, Y, and Z values are saved as point n on the bed for calculating the offset plane. Generally n is 0, 1, or 2. If X, or Y, or Z values are specified (e.g. G30 P1 X20 Y50 Z0.3) then those values are used instead of the machine's current coordinates. A silly Z value (less than -9999.0) causes the machine to probe at the current point to get Z, rather than using the given value. If an S field is specified (e.g. G30 P1 Z0.3 S) the bed plane is computed for compensation and stored. The combination of these options allows for the machine to be moved to points using G1 commands, and then probe the bed, or for the user to position the nozzle interactively and use those coordinates. The user can also record those values and place them in a setup GCode file for automatic execution.
The dc42 variant of RepRapFirmware uses the value of the S parameter to specify what computation to perform. If the value is -1 then the Z offsets of all the points probed are printed, but no calibration is done. If the value is zero or not present, then this specified that the number of factors to be calibrated is the same as the number of points probed. Otherwise, the value indicates the number of factors to be calibrated, which must be no greater than the number of points probed. Currently (as of version 1.04d), the number of factors may be 3, 4 or 5 when doing auto bed compensation on a Cartesian or CoreXY printer, and 3, 4, 6 or 7 when doing auto calibration of a Delta printer.

When used on its own this reports whether the Z probe is triggered, or gives the Z probe value in some units if the probe generates height values. If combined with a Z and P field (example: G31 P312 Z0.7) this will set the Z height to 0.7mm when the Z-probe value reaches 312 when a G28 Z0 (zero Z axis) command is sent. The machine will then move a further -0.7mm in Z to place itself at Z = 0. This allows non-contact measuring probes to approach but not touch the bed, and for the gap left to be allowed for. If the probe is a touch probe and generates a simple 0/1 off/on signal, then G31 Z0.7 will tell the RepRap machine that it is at a height of 0.7mm when the probe is triggered.
In Duet-dc42 firmware, separate G31 parameters may be defined for probe types 0, 1/2, and 3 (probe types 1 and 2 share the same set of parameters). To specify which probe you are setting parameters for, send a M558 command to select the probe type before sending the G31 command.
Duet-dc42 firmware supports additional parameters S (bed temperature in degC at which the specified Z parameter is correct, default is current bed temperature) and C (temperature coefficient of Z parameter in mm/degC, default zero). This is useful for ultrasonic and other probes that are affected by temperature.
Duet-dc42 firmware versions 1.00b onwards also allow the X and Y offsets of the Z probe relative to the print head (i.e. the position when the empty tool is selected) to be specified, by adding parameters X and Y. This allows you to calculate your M557 probe coordinates based on the geometry of the bed, without having to correct them for Z probe X and Y offset. It also provides more accurate bed compensation.

G93 is Inverse Time Mode. In inverse time feed rate mode, an F word means the move should be completed in (one divided by the F number) minutes. For example, if the F number is 2.0, the move should be completed in half a minute.
When the inverse time feed rate mode is active, an F word must appear on every line which has a G1, G2, or G3 motion, and an F word on a line that does not have G1, G2, or G3 is ignored. Being in inverse time feed rate mode does not affect G0 (rapid move) motions.

All files in the root folder of the SD card are listed to the serial port. This results in a line like:
ok Files: {SQUARE.G,SQCOM.G,}
The trailing comma is optional. Note that file names are returned in upper case, but - when sent to the M23 command (below) they must be in lower case. This seems to be a function of the SD software. Go figure...
Duet-dc42 firmware returns the (long) filenames in the correct case. If the S2 parameter is present, the file list is returned in JSON format as a single array called "files", and the directory is returned in variable "dir". The optional P parameter specifies the directory to list, defaulting to the /gcodes directory in RepRapFirmware - for other firmware, this is whatever directory printable gcode files are normally stored in.

The "err" field is zero if successful, nonzero if the file was not found or an error occurred while processing it. The "size" field should always be present if the operation was successful. The presence or absence of other fields depends on whether the corresponding values could be found by reading the file. The "filament" field is an array of the filament lengths required from each spool. The size is in bytes, all other values are in mm. The fields may appear in any order, and additional fields may be present.
If the file name parameter is not supplied and a file on the SD card is currently being printed, then information for that file is returned including additional field "fileName". This feature is used by the web interface any by PanelDue, so that if a connection is made when a file is already being printed, the name and other information about that file can be shown.

If your RepRap machine can eject the parts it has built off the bed, this command executes the eject cycle. This usually involves cooling the bed and then performing a sequence of movements that remove the printed parts from it. The X, Y and Z position of the machine at the end of this cycle are undefined (though they can be found out using the M114 command, q.v.).

Example: M41
If the RepRap machine was building a file from its own memory such as a local SD card (as opposed to a file being transmitted to it from a host computer) this goes back to the beginning of the file and runs it again. So, for example, if your RepRap is capable of ejecting parts from its build bed then you can set it printing in a loop and it will run and run. Use with caution - the only things that will stop it are:
- When you press the reset button,
- When the build material runs out (if your RepRap is set up to detect this), and
- When there's an error (such as a heater failure).

If your RepRap can detect when its material runs out, this decides the behaviour when that happens. The X and Y axes are zeroed (but not Z), and then the machine shuts all motors and heaters off. You have to press reset to reactivate the machine. In other words, it parks itself and then executes an M0 command (q.v.).

Stop the idle hold on all axis and extruder. In some cases the idle hold causes annoying noises, which can be stopped by disabling the hold. Be aware that by disabling idle hold during printing, you will get quality issues. This is recommended only in between or after printjobs.
On Marlin and Repetier, M84 can also be used to configure or disable the idle timeout. For example, "M84 S10" will idle the stepper motors after 10 seconds of inactivity. "M84 S0" will disable idle timeout; steppers will remain powered up regardless of activity.

Example: M98 Pmymacro.g
Runs the macro in the file mymacro.g. In conventional G Codes for CNC machines the P parameter normally refers to a line number in the program itself (P2000 would run the Macro starting at line O2000, say). For RepRap, which almost always has some sort of mass storage device inbuilt, it simply refers to the name of a GCode file that is executed by the G98 call. That GCode file does not need to end with an M99 (return) as the end-of-file automatically causes a return. Macro calls cannot usually be nested or be recursive; i.e. you can't call a macro from a macro (though some implementations may allow this).
RepRapFirmware-dc42 and RepRapFirmware-zpl support nested macros and allow the filename to include a path. The default folder is /sys.

- M104 S190
Set the temperature of the current extruder to 190oC and return control to the host immediately (i.e. before that temperature has been reached by the extruder). Duet-dc42 and other firmware also supports the optional T parameter (as generated by slic3r) to specify which tool the command applies to. See also M109.
This is deprecated because temperatures should be set using the G10 and T commands (q.v.).
Deprecation is subject to discussion. --Traumflug 11:33, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
M104 in Teacup Firmware
In Teacup Firmware, M104 can be additionally used to handle all devices using a temperature sensor. It supports the additional P parameter, which is a zero-based index into the list of sensors in config.h. For devices without a temp sensor, see M106.
Example: M104 P1 S100
Set the temperature of the device attached to the second temperature sensor to 100 °C.

Duet-dc42 extension
Duet-dc42 firmware returns a JSON-formatted response if parameter S2 or S3 is included. This is used by the touch-screen control panel. Additionally, parameter Rnn may be provided, where nn is the sequence number of the most recent G-code response that the client has already received.
The response comprises a single JSON object, with no nesting of objects or arrays, followed by newline. It is similar to the object returned by the web interface status request, but some fields are omitted. Here is a sample response when S2 is used:
{"status":"I","heaters":[25.0,29.0,28.3],"active":[-273.1,0.0,0.0],"standby":[-273.1,0.0,0.0],"hstat":[0,2,1],"pos":[-11.00,0.00,0.00],"extr":[0.0,0.0],"sfactor":100.00, "efactor":[100.00,100.00],"tool":1,"probe":"535","fanRPM":0,"homed":[0,0,0],"fraction_printed":0.572}
The meaning of these fields is:
status: I=idle, P=printing from SD card, S=stopped (i.e. needs a reset), C=running config file, A=paused, D=pausing, R=resuming, B=busy (running a macro) heaters: current heater temperatures, numbered as per the machine (typically, heater 0 is the bed) active: active temperatures of the heaters standby: standby temperatures of the heaters hstat: status of the heaters, 0=off, 1=standby, 2=active, 3=fault pos: the X, Y and Z positions of the print head extr: the positions of the extruders sfactor: the current speed factor (see M220 command) efactor: the current extrusion factors (see M221 command) tool: the selected tool number. Zero typically means no tool selected. probe: the Z-probe reading fanRPM: the cooling fan RPM homed: the homed status of the X, Y and Z axes (or towers on a delta). 0=axis has not been homed so position is not reliable, 1=axis has been homed so position is reliable. fraction_printed: the fraction of the file currently being printed that has been read and at least partially processed. message: the message to be displayed on the screen (only present if there is a message to display) timesLeft: an array of the estimated remaining print times (in seconds) calculated by different methods. These are currently based on the proportion of the file read, the proportion of the total filament consumed, and the proportion of the total layers already printed. Only present if a print from SD card is in progress. seq: the sequence number of the most recent G-code response or error message. Only present if the R parameter was provided and the current sequence number is greater. resp: the most recent G-code response or error message. Only present if the R parameter was provided and the current sequence number is greater.
The response when S3 is used comprises these fields plus some additional ones that do not generally change and therefore do not need to be fetched as often. The extra fields include:
myName: the name of the printer geometry: one of "cartesian", "delta", "corexy, "corexz" etc.
The fields may be in any order in the response. Other implementations may omit fields and/or add additional fields.

- Parameters
- Snnn speed
- Example
- M106 S127
Turn on the cooling fan at half speed.
Mandatory parameter 'S' declares the PWM value (0-255). M106 S0 turns the fan off. In some implementations the pwm is specified by a real fraction: M106 S0.7.
M106 in Duet Firmware
Duet-dc42 firmware also supports an optional I parameter. If this parameter is present and greater than zero, the cooling fan output is inverted. This makes the cooling fan output suitable for feeding the PWM input of a 4-wire fan via a diode. If the parameter is present and zero or negative, the output is not inverted. If the parameter is not present, the inverted/non-inverted state remains unchanged. The default at power up is not inverted.
If the 'R' parameter is passed when using Duet-zpl firmware (0.96g+), the last-known fan value will be set. If the 'S' parameter is passed along with 'R', the firmware will not reset the last-known fan value. This may be useful for tool change macro files.
M106 in Teacup Firmware
Additionally to the above, Teacup Firmware uses M106 to control general devices. It supports the additional P parameter, which is an zero-based index into the list of heaters/devices in config.h.
Example: M106 P2 S255
Turn on device #3 at full speed/wattage.
Note: When turning on a temperature sensor equipped heater with M106 and M104 at the same time, temperature control will override the value given in M106 quickly.

M109 in Teacup
Not needed. To mimic Marlin behaviour, use M104 followed by M116.
M109 in Marlin, Sprinter (ATmega port), Duet
Set extruder heater temperature in degrees celsius and wait for this temperature to be achieved.
Example: M109 S185
Duet-dc42 firmware also supports the optional T parameter (as generated by slic3r) to specify which tool the command refers to (see below).
M109 in Sprinter (4pi port)
Parameters: S (optional), set target temperature value. If not specified, waits for the temperature set by M104. R (optional), sets target temperature range maximum value.
Example: M109 S185 R240 //sets extruder temperature to 185 and waits for the temperature to be between 185 - 240.
If you have multiple extruders, use T or P parameter to specify which extruder you want to set/wait.
Another way to do this is to use G10.
M109 in MakerBot
Example: M109 S70 T0
Sets the target temperature for the current build platform. S is the temperature to set the platform to, in degrees Celsius. T is the platform to heat.

#define DEBUG_ECHO (1<<0) #define DEBUG_INFO (1<<1) #define DEBUG_ERRORS (1<<2) #define DEBUG_DRYRUN (1<<3) // repetier-firmware #define DEBUG_COMMUNICATION (1<<4) // repetier-firmware
Thus 6 means send information and errors, but don't echo commands. (This is the RepRap default.)
For firmware that supports ethernet and web interfaces M111 S9 will turn web debug information on without changing any other debug settings, and M111 S8 will turn it off. Web debugging usually means that HTTP requests will be echoed to the USB interface, as will the responses.

Set the PWM for the currently-selected extruder. On its own this command sets RepRap to use the on-board potentiometer on the extruder controller board to set the PWM for the currently-selected extruder's stepper power. With an S field:
M113 S0.7
it causes the PWM to be set to the S value (70% in this instance). M113 S0 turns the extruder off, until an M113 command other than M113 S0 is sent.

For example, the machine returns a string such as:
ok C: X:0.00 Y:0.00 Z:0.00 E:0.00
In Marlin first 3 numbers is the position for the planner. The other positions are the positions from the stepper function. This helps for debugging a previous stepper function bug.

Wait for all temperatures and other slowly-changing variables to arrive at their set values. See also M109.
Duet-dc42 firmware version 0.78c and later supports an optional P parameter, used to specify a tool number. If this parameter is present, then the system only waits for temperatures associated with that tool to arrive at their set values. This is useful during tool changes, to wait for the new tool to heat up without necessarily waiting for the old one to cool down fully.
Users of Duet-zpl may specify a list of the heaters to be waited for by specifying an 'H' parameter. Duet-zpl v1.08d+ further supports an additional 'C' parameter to wait for the chamber temperature to be reached.

Example: M117
This causes the RepRap machine to report the X, Y, Z and E coordinates in steps not mm to the host that it found when it last hit the zero stops for those axes. That is to say, when you zero X, the x coordinate of the machine when it hits the X endstop is recorded. This value should be 0, of course. But if the machine has drifted (for example by dropping steps) then it won't be. This command allows you to measure and to diagnose such problems. (E is included for completeness. It doesn't normally have an endstop.)

- Parameters
- Pnnn heater number
- Snnn proportional (Kp)
- Example
- M130 P0 S8.0 ; Sets heater 0 P factor to 8.0
Teacup can control multiple heaters with independent PID controls. For the default shown at https://github.com/Traumflug/Teacup_Firmware/blob/master/config.default.h, heater 0 is the extruder (P0), and heater 1 is the bed (P1).
Teacup's PID proportional units are in pwm/255 counts per quarter C, so to convert from counts/C, you would divide by 4. Conversely, to convert from count/qC to count/C, multiply by 4. In the above example, S=8 represents a Kp=8*4=32 counts/C.

- Snnn integral (Ki)
- Example
- M131 P1 S0.5 ; Sets heater 1 I factor to 0.5
Teacup's PID integral units are in pwm/255 counts per (quarter C*quarter second), so to convert from counts/qCqs, you would divide by 16. Conversely, to convert from count/qCqs to count/Cs, multiply by 16. In the above example, S=0.5 represents a Ki=0.5*16=8 counts/Cs.

M200 Dm.mmm sets the filament diameter to m.mmm millimeters. It is used with 'volumetric calibration' and G-code generated for an ideal 1.128mm diameter filament, which has a volume of 1mm^3 per millimeter. The intention is to be able to generate filament-independent g-code. (See Triffid_Hunter's_Calibration_Guide#Optional:_Switch_to_volumetric_E_units and http://wooden-mendel.blogspot.com/2011/09/volumetric-stage-two.html for more information.)

Question: what does a firmware do with filament diameter? Has this an effect on how much an E command moves the extruder motor? --Traumflug 11:34, 14 October 2012 (UTC) Yes, Marlin uses this to set a 'volumetric_multiplier' by which the E-steps of a move are scaled in the planner.

The values specified set the software limits for axis travel in the positive direction.
With Marlin firmware, this value can be saved to EEPROM using the M500 command.
With Duet-dc42 firmware, on a Cartesian printer you can also use this command to specify software limits for axis travel in the negative direction, by adding parameter S1. The axis limits you set are also the positions assumed when an endstop is triggered.

- M301 S0 P30 I10 D10 ; Smoothie
Sets Proportional (P), Integral (I) and Derivative (D) values for hot end. See also PID Tuning.
Marlin
Hot end only; see M304 for bed PID. H is the heater number, default 1 (i.e. first extruder heater).
Duet-dc42 and RepRapFirmware (v1.09 onwards)
H: Is the heater number, and is compulsory. H0 is the bed, H1 is the first hot end, H2 the second etc.
P: Interprets a negative P term as indicating that bang-bag control should be used instead of PID (not recommended for the hot end, but OK for the bed heater).
I: Integral value
D: Derivative value
T: Is the approximate additional PWM (on a scale of 0 to 255) needed to maintain temperature, per degree C above room temperature. Used to preset the I-accumulator when switching from heater fully on/off to PID.
S: PWM scaling factor, to allow for variation in heater power and supply voltage. Is designed to allow a correction to be made for a change in heater power and/or power supply voltage without having to change all the other parameters. For example, an S factor of 0.8 means that the final output of the PID controller should be scaled to 0.8 times the standard value, which would compensate for a heater that is 25% more powerful than the standard one or a supply voltage that is 12.5% higher than standard.
W: Wind-up. Sets the maximum value of I-term, must be high enough to reach 245C for ABS printing.
B: PID Band. Errors larger than this cause heater to be on or off.
An example using all of these would be:
- M301 H1 P20 I0.5 D100 T0.4 S1 W180 B30
Smoothie
S0 is 0 for the hotend, and 1 for the bed, other numbers may apply to your configuration, depending on the order in which you declare temperature control modules.
Other implementations
W: Wind-up. Sets the maximum value of I-term, so it does not overwhelm other PID values, and the heater stays on. (Check firmware support - Sprinter, Marlin?) Example:
- M301 W125
Teacup
See M130, M131, M132, M133 for Teacup's codes for setting the PID parameters.

PID Tuning refers to a control algorithm used in some repraps to tune heating behavior for hot ends and heated beds. This command generates Proportional (Kp), Integral (Ki), and Derivative (Kd) values for the hotend or bed (E-1). Send the appropriate code and wait for the output to update the firmware.
Hot end usage:
M303 S<temperature> C<cycles>
Bed usage:
M303 E-1 C<cycles> S<temperature>
Example:

- M304 ; Report parameters
Sets Proportional, Integral and Derivative values for bed. Duet-dc42 firmware interprets a negative P term as indicating that bang-bag control should be used instead of PID. In Duet-dc42 firmware, this command is identical to M301 except that the H parameter (heater number) defaults to zero.
See also PID Tuning.
M304 in RepRapPro version of Marlin: Set thermistor values
In the RepRapPro version of Marlin ( https://github.com/reprappro/Marlin ) M304 is used to set thermistor values (as M305 is in later firmwares). RRP Marlin calculates temperatures on the fly, rather than using a temperature table. M304 Sets the parameters for temperature measurement.
Example: M304 H1 B4200 R4800 T100000
This tells the firmware that for heater 1 (H parameter: 0 = heated bed, H = first extruder), the thermistor beta (B parameter) is 4200, the thermistor series resistance (R parameter) is 4.8Kohms, the thermistor 25C resistance (T parameter) is 100Kohms. All parameters other than H are optional. If only the H parameter is given, the currently-used values are displayed. They are also displayed within the response to M503.

Sets the parameters for temperature measurement. Supported by RepRapFirmware from 0.78c, and Duet-dc42 firmware.
Example: M305 P1 T100000 R1000 B4200
This tells the firmware that for heater 1 (P parameter: 0 = heated bed, 1 = first extruder) the thermistor 25C resistance (T parameter) is 100Kohms, the thermistor series resistance (R parameter) is 1Kohms, the thermistor beta (B parameter) is 4200. All parameters other than P are optional. If only the P parameter is given, the existing values are displayed.
Additionally, Duet-dc42 firmware supports an ADC correction functionality and a thermistor selection facility.
Example: M305 P1 T100000 R1000 B4200 H14 L-11 X2
Here the ADC high end correction (H parameter) is 14, the ADC low end correction (L parameter) is -11, and thermistor input #2 is used to measure the temperature of heater #1.

The values specified are added to the calculated end stop position when the axes are referenced. The calculated value is derived from the distance of the toolhead from the current axis zero point.
The user would typically place the toolhead at the zero point of the axis and issue the M306 command.
This value can be saved to EEPROM using the M500 command (as M206 value).

The arms move into a position where the Theta steering arm is parallel to the top platform edge. The user then calibrates the position by moving the arms with the jog buttons in software like pronterface until it is perfectly parallel. Using M114 will then display the calibration offset that can then be programmed into the unit using M206 (Home offset) X represents Theta.
Smoothieware: M360 P0 will take the current position as parallel to the platform edge, and store the offset in the homing trim offset (M666) No further user interaction is needed.

Theta move to 90 degrees with platform edge. User calibrates by using jog arms to place exactly 90 degrees. Steps per degree can then be read out by using M114, and programmed using M92. X represents Theta. Program Y (Psi) to the same value initially. Remember to repeat M360 after adjusting steps per degree.
Smoothieware: M360 P0 will accept the current position as 90deg to platform edge. New steps per angle is calculated and entered into memory (M92) No further user interaction is required, except to redo M360.

Example: M408 S0
The following response types are supported:
- Type 0 is the M105 S2 response, which is like the new-style status response (for the old web interface) but some fields are omitted.
- Type 1 is the M105 S3 response, which is like the M105 S2 response except that static values are also included.
- Type 2 is the new-style standard JSON response, which is also reported to the new web interface (see Duet Web Control)
- Type 3 is an extended version of type 2 which includes some additional parameters that aren't expected to change very frequently
- Type 4 is an extended version of type 2 which may be used to poll for current printer stats
- Type 5 reports the current machine configuration

Though with care and adjustment a RepRap can be set up with its axes at right-angles to each other within the accuracy of the machine, who wants to bother with care and adjustment when the problem can be solved by software? This tells software the tangents of the angles between the axes of the machine obtained by printing then measuring a test part. The S parameter (100 here) is the length of a triangle along each axis in mm. The X, Y and Z figures are the number of millimeters of the short side of the triangle that represents how out of true a pair of axes is. The X figure is the error between X and Y, the Y figure is the error between Y and Z, and the Z figure is the error between X and Z. Positive values indicate that the angle between the axis pair is obtuse, negative acute.

Example: M557 P1 X30 Y40.5
Set the points at which the bed will be probed to compensate for its plane being slightly out of horizontal. The P value is the index of the point (indices start at 0) and the X and Y values are the position to move extruder 0 to to probe the bed. An implementation should allow a minimum of three points (P0, P1 and P2). This just records the point coordinates; it does not actually do the probing. See G32.

Example: M558 P0 X1 Y0 Z1
A Z probe may be a switch, an IR proximity sensor, or some other device. This selects which to use. P0 indicates that no Z probe is present. P1 gives an unmodulated IR probe, or any other probe type that emulates an unmodulated IR probe (probe output is an analog signal that rises with decreasing nozzle height above the bed). If there is a control signal to the probe, it is driven high when the probe type is P1. P2 specifies a modulated IR probe, where the modulation is commanded directly by the main board firmware using the control signal to the probe. P3 selects an alternative Z probe by driving the control signal to the probe low. P4 selects a switch (on the Duet, this must be connected to the E0 endstop pins).
The X, Y and Z parameters specify whether each axis uses the Z probe for homing or not. If the parameter is nonzero, the Z probe is used for homing that axis. if the parameter is zero, the endstop switch for that axis is used for homing instead. See also G31 and G32.
Duet-dc42 and zpl-dc42 firmware support an additional R parameter, which specifies the modulation channel. Channel 0 (the default) uses the standard Z probe modulation pin on the Duet 0.6. Channel 1 selects the alternative Z probe modulation pin on the Duet 0.7.
Duet-dc42 firmware versions 1.00e onwards supports additional parameter H. This specifies the dive height from which probing is done in response to a G30 command when the P parameter is present, or a G32 command.

Example: M563 P3 D0:5:6 H1:3
Tools are usually (though not necessarily) extruders. The P field specifies the tool number. Tool numbers can have any positive integer value and 0. The D field specifies the drive(s) used by the tool - in this case drives 0, 5 and 6. Drive 0 is the first drive in the machine after the movement drives (usually X, Y and Z). If there is no D field the tool has no drives. The H field specifies the tool's heaters - in this case heaters 1 and 3. Heater 0 is usually the hot bed (if any) so the first extruder heater is usually 1. If there is no H field the tool has no heaters.
Tools are driven using multiple values in the E field of G1 commands, each controlling the corresponding drive in the D field above, as follows:
G1 X90.6 Y13.8 E2.24:2.24:15.89 G1 X70.6 E0:0:42.4
The first line moves straight to the point (90.6, 13.8) extruding a total of 2.24mm of filament from both drives 0 and 5 and 15.98mm of filament from drive 6.
The second line moves back 20mm in X extruding 42.4mm of filament from drive 6.
Normally an M563 command is immediately followed by a G10 command to set the tool's offsets and temperatures.
It is permissible for different tools to share some (or all) of their drives and heaters. So, for example, you can define two tools with identical hardware, but that just operate at different temperatures.
If you use the M563 command with a P value for a tool that has already been defined, that tool is redefined using the new values you provide.
Duet-dc42 firmware supports an additional form of the M563 command. The command:
M563 S1
means add 1 (the value of the S parameter) to all tool numbers found in the remainder of the current input stream (e.g. the current file if the command is read from a file on the SD card), or until a new M563 command of this form is executed. The purpose of this is to provide compatibility between the Duet firmware, in which tool numbers typically start at 1, and programs such as slic3r that assume tools are numbered from zero.
Duet-zpl firmware allows the deletion of existing tools if M563 is called in this way:
M563 P1 D-1 H-1

Set the offset from the extruder tip to the probe position. The X, Y and Z values are the delta between the extruder and the actual trigger position of the probe. If the probe trigger point is below the extruder (typical) the Z offset will be negative. This just records the point offset; it does not actually do the probing. See G32.

Example: M566 X20 Y20 Z2 E10
Work around an algorithm limitation of some firmwares, which can't calculate step timings for a standing start. Teacup Firmware and Smoothieware don't have this limitation, so M566 is obsolete there.
M566 sets the speeds in mm/minute that axes can do from a standing start. If an accelerating algorithm starts a move with a zero velocity on other firmwares and then accelerates from that, it can give problems when the zero initial velocity is used to calculate a timestep between stepper pulses at the beginning: the timestep ends up being infinite... So these systems have initial small velocities to start at. This sets them.
The dc42 variant of RepRapFirmware doesn't have the limitation, but instead it uses this parameter to determine the maximum allowable speed change of each motor when cornering.

Example: M567 P2 E0.1:0.2:0.1:0.6
The example sets the mix ratio for tool 2 (the P value). When mixing is then turned on (see M568), only single E values need to be sent on a G1 command (any extra E values will be ignored, but are not illegal):
G1 X20 E1.3
This will move to X=20 extruding a total length of filament of 1.3mm. The first drive of tool 2 will extrude 0.1*1.3mm, the second 0.2*1.3mm and so on. The ratios don't have to add up to 1.0 - the calculation done is as just described. But it is best if they do.

This defines the type of endstop switch or opto sensor that the printer has for each axis: 0 = none, 1 = low end, 2 = high end. The optional S parameter defines whether the endstop input is active high (S1, the default) or low (S0). Intended for use with boards that provide a single endstop input for each axis that may be used for either a high or a low end endstop, such as the Duet. Supported by Duet-dc42 firmware. On delta printers, the XYZ parameters refer to the towers and the endstops should normally all be high end.

This sets the communications parameters of the serial comms channel specified by the P parameter. P0 specifies the main serial interface (typically a USB port, or serial-over-USB), while P1 specifies an auxiliary serial port (for example, the port used to connect a PanelDue). The B parameter is the required baud rate (this parameter is typically ignored if the port is a true USB port). The S parameter is a bitmap of features.

Set the delta calibration variables. L = diagonal rod length, R = delta radius, S = segments per second, B = safe printing radius, H = nozzle height above bed when homed after allowing for the endstop corrections.
- I don't think it's a good idea to have two different implementations for the same G-code, and I also question the practical value of specifying the print bed radius when defining a delta configuration, since many delta printers use a square or rectangular print bed. So perhaps we should stick to the Marlin-defined command as the definition for this command, and use a different command or set of commands to define print bed shape and size. --AndrewBCN (talk) 23:10, 31 January 2015 (PST)
- The implementations are not different, they have the same L and R parameters, but each has additional parameters that are not relevant to the other implementation. I'm not against defining a new Gcode to define bed size and shape; however, you can already define the limits of a rectangular print area using M208. Even when a delta printer has a square bed, the printable area is not square. It is usually taken to be circular, although it is in reality more complicated. My purpose in adding the B parameter was to make it easy to define a radius outside which movement will not normally be attempted. I have changed "bed radius" to "safe printing radius" in the text to help clarify this. --dc42

Set the microstepping value for each of the steppers.
In Redeem this is implemented as 2^value, so
M909 X2 sets microstepping on X-axis to 2^2 = 4,
M909 Y3 sets microstepping on Y-axis to 2^3 = 8 etc.

Example: T1
Select tool (or in older implementations extruder) number 1 to build with.
The sequence followed is:
- Set the current tool to its standby temperatures specified by G10 (see above),
- Set the new tool to its operating temperatures specified by G10 and wait for all temperatures to stabilise,
- Apply any X, Y, Z offset for the new tool specified by G10,
- Use the new tool.
Selecting a non-existent tool (100, say) just does Step 1. above. That is to say it leaves all tools in their standby state. You can, of course, use the G10 command beforehand to set that standby temperature to anything you like.
Note that you may wish to move to a parking position before executing a T command in order to allow the new extruder to reach temperature while not in contact with the print. It is acceptable for the firmware to apply a small offset [by convention (-1mm x tool-number) in Y] to the current position when the above sequence is entered to allow temperature changes to take effect just away from the parking position. Any such offset must, of course, be undone when the procedure finishes.
If the Z value changes in the offsets and the tool moves up, then the Z move is made before the X and Y moves. If Z moves down, X and Y are done first.
Some implementations (e.g. RepRapFirmware) allow you to specify tool-change G Code macros. There are normally three specified (any of which can contain no commands if desired) that execute in this order:
- Actions to do with the old tool before it is released - macro name: tfreeN.g where N is the tool number;
- (Old tool is released);
- Actions to do with the new tool before it is selected - macro name: tpreN.g where N is the tool number;
- (New tool is selected); and
- Actions to do with the new tool after it is selected - macro name: tpostN.g where N is the tool number.
With such implementations there is no wait for temperature stabilisation. That can be achieved by an M116 in any of the macros, of course.
After a reset tools will not start heating until they are selected. You can either put them all at their standby temperature by selecting them in turn, or leave them off so they only come on if/when you first use them. The M0, M1 and M112 commands turn them all off. You can, of course, turn them all off with the M1 command, then turn some back on again. Don't forget also to turn on the heated bed (if any) if you use that trick.
Tool numbering may start at 0 or 1, depending on the implementation. Some implementations (those that use the M563 command to define tools) allow the user to specify tool numbers, so with them you can have tools 17, 99 and 203 if you want. Negative numbers are not allowed.
Proposed EEPROM configuration codes
BRIEFLY: each RepRap has a number of physical parameters that should be persistent, but easily configurable, such as extrusion steps/mm, various max values, etc. Those parameters are currently hardcoded in the firmware, so that a user has to modify, recompile and re-flash the firmware for any adjustments. These configs can be stored in MCU's EEPROM and modified via some M-codes. Please see the detailed proposal at M-codes for EEPROM config. (This is proposed by --AlexRa on 11-March-2011. There is currently no working implementation of the proposed commands).
Marlin uses codes M500-M503 to manipulate EEPROM values.
Sprinter has implemented the following commands to manipulate EEPROM Commit message.
Teacup uses codes M130-M136 to set, read, and save some parameters.
Replies from the RepRap machine to the host computer
All communication is in printable ASCII characters. Messages sent back to the host computer are terminated by a newline and look like this:
xx [line number to resend] [T:93.2 B:22.9] [C: X:9.2 Y:125.4 Z:3.7 E:1902.5] [Some debugging or other information may be here]
xx can be one of:
ok
rs
!!
ok means that no error has been detected.
rs means resend, and is followed by the line number to resend.
!! means that a hardware fault has been detected. The RepRap machine will shut down immediately after it has sent this message.
The T: and B: values are the temperature of the currently-selected extruder and the bed respectively, and are only sent in response to M105. If such temperatures don't exist (for example for an extruder that works at room temperature and doesn't have a sensor) then a value below absolute zero (-273oC) is returned.
C: means that coordinates follow. Those are the X: Y: etc values. These are only sent in response to M114 and M117.
The RepRap machine may also send lines that look like this:
// This is some debugging or other information on a line on its own. It may be sent at any time.
Such lines will always be preceded by //.
On the latest version of Pronterface and soon Octoprint a special comment of the form:
// action:command
is allowed to be sent from the firmware, the command can currently be pause, resume or disconnect which will execute those commands on the host. As this is also a comment other hosts will just ignore these commands.
The most common response is simply:
ok
When the machine boots up it sends the string
start
once to the host before sending anything else. This should not be replaced or augmented by version numbers and the like. M115 (see above) requests those.
All this means that every line sent by RepRap to the host computer except the start line has a two-character prefix (one of ok, rs, !! or //). The machine should never send a line without such a prefix.
Exceptions:
1. Marlin 1.0.0 Gen6 Firmware does not follow the two character rule. 'rs' is actually 'Resend' and '!!' is 'Error'. Example Lines:
- Error: Line Number is not current line + 1. Last Line: 7
- Resend: 8
- Writing to File: print.gco
- Done saving file.
- File opened:print.gco Size:22992
- File selected
When in the code base did this change take place and what other firmwares are affected?
2. The dc42 fork of RepRapFirmware responds to some commands with a reply string in JSON format, terminated by a newline. This allows later firmware revisions to include additional information without confusing clients (e.g. PanelDue) that do not expect it, and to make responses self-describing so that the client will not be confused if responses are delayed or lost. The commands affected are:
- M105 S2
- M105 S3
- M20 S2
- M36
- M408
Proposal for sending multiple lines of G-code
So far, this is a proposal, open for discussion.
Problem to solve
When using Marlin firmware or emulating Marlin, each line of G-code sent from the host to the controller is answered with an ok before the next line can be sent without locking communications up. This slows down communication and limits the number of commands that can be sent per second to the printer controller, as the USB stack on the host and the serial interface driver on the Arduino add their own latencies (up to 10 milliseconds). This is not a problem for other controller electronics using native USB such as the Duet, because the standard serial-over-USB drivers provide flow control, so the host software can be configured so as not to wait for the ok.

Alternatives to G-code
- Main article: Firmware/Alternative#alternatives to G-code
Several people have suggested using STEP-NC or some other control language; or perhaps designing a completely new control language.
