extrudeToZ()

Move to an absolute Z position while extruding.

Extrusion amount is calculated automatically from the move distance, scaled by extrusionMultiplier. If an explicit extrusion amount is specified, extrusionMultiplier is ignored.

Most printers use a leadscrew for Z, which have a much lower max speed than the belt-driven XY axes. The maxSpeedZ preset value caps Z speed in firmware via M203. In practice, this max Z speed is used for Z movements in general.

Parameters

Name Type Description
z number Target Z position in mm.
v number Feedrate in mm/min.
e? number | null Extrusion amount in mm. Calculated automatically if null.
comment? string Optional G-code comment. Default: ''.
