In theory this should only move 20 but no… it moves 60, isn’t the G92 working on klipper?

G92 E0  
G1 E10 F500  
G92 E40  
G1 F900 E50

Is the printer set to relative or absolute extrusion mode?

How can I check what mode it is in?

Afaik , you can’t check. You just can set.

> Use absolute/relative coordinates: `G90`, `G91`

It moves with the two commands…

G91  
G1 X+100 F600  
G28 X  
G90  
G1 X+100 F600

moves with both

Opps, I mixed it up.

I meant `M82/M83` for extrusions

> Use absolute/relative distances for extrusion: `M82`, `M83`

ok this is the context; I have this problem when changing the extruder, I need it to take out the first filament, then insert the other and then continue printing, as if it were an m600; So I did this;

> T0  
> G1 E-150 F800  
> T1  
> G1 E+150 F500  
> G92 E20

but it does not work;

example;

> ;normal gcode  
> G1 X125.299 Y114.392 E10.56672  
> G1 X125.29 Y115.119 E10.60299
