Printer axes orientation
The printer moves along three axes: X, Y and Z.
The hot-end group moves in the X and Y axes directions, while the printing plate moves in the Z axis direction.
The origin of the printer axes, known as the extruder Home position, is located at the front left corner of the
printing plate.
