M208 - Firmware Recover

motion Firmware-retraction recover settings. FWRETRACT

Description

Set the added lengths and feedrates for firmware-based retract recovery. The lengths set by M208 are applied in addition to the lengths set by M207 when un-retracting (aka “recovering”) the filament. The new values will apply to all subsequent G11 commands.

The “swap” values apply to firmware-based recover moves after a tool-change.

Usage

M208 [F<feedrate>] [R<feedrate>] [S<length>] [W<length>]

Parameters

[F<feedrate>]

Recover feedrate (units/min)

    [R<feedrate>]

    Swap recover feedrate (units/min)

      [S<length>]

      Additional recover length. Can be negative to reduce recover length.

        [W<length>]

        Additional recover swap length. Can be negative to reduce the length.

          Examples

          Set recover extra length to 0.2mm and recover feedrate to 10mm/s

          M208 S0.2 F600

          Set a retract length of 2mm and total recover length of 2.5mm

          M207 S2.0  ; 2.0mm retract
          M208 S0.5  ; 2.0mm + 0.5mm recover
