[title] Playing with BoXZY and Gcode
[* icon_note] Gcode is the control language that CNC machines use to tell a machine where to move in 3 Dimensional Space. This is represented by a plotting positions in a Coordinate System along 3 independent Axis. The Gcode also controls the speed at which it will move, the extrusion rate of the 3D Printing Attachment and the power level of the Laser Attachment
[* green] Select the '''Print Preview '''tab then select the '''G-Code Editor''' button and you will now have access to the G-Code Editor Tab and G-Code Editor
[* blue] This is where your Gcode will be stored after you Slice a file or load your Milling file. You won't need to edit your Gcode until you have a mastery understanding of how it works, but let's play around with some simple commands
[* blue] ''Gcode'' is read line by line and each line is treated like a command
[* black] Type each line into your '''G-Code Editor''' as shown in the second''second image into your G-Code Editor''
[* black] Double Check the G-Code you just input into your G-Code EditorFile. The lines that begin with the Gcode provided in the second imagea semicolon (''' ; ''') are comment lines that will not execute as Gcode, they are there simply to explain what each line means
