Description
You can customize the beginning and ending code that your slicer adds to the gcode files it produces to automate certain tasks or produce a more desired behavior. Below are suggestions for these codes. Feel free to use them and modify them to fit your usage. For a list of gcode commands and their usage, see this page: http://reprap.org/wiki/G-code
