步進模式

Jog mode enables you to freely move the extruder module along the X, Y and Z-axis. This is useful for maintenance and repair.


Click Home Axes. 

In order to move the extruder module, you need to home it first. This gives the machine a reference so that it knows the exact position of the extruder.
