It is a realtime control over the head position via the LCD menu system that works _while_ printing.
Using it, one can e.g. tune the z-position in realtime, while printing the first layer.
Also, lost steps can be manually added/removed, but thats not the prime feature.
Stuff is placed into the Tune->Babystep *
It is not possible to have realtime control via gcode sending due to the buffering, so I did not include a gcode yet. However, it could be added, but it movements will not be realtime then.
Historically, a very similar thing was implemented for the "Kaamermaker" project, while Joris was babysitting his offspring, hence the name.
say goodby to fuddling around with the z-axis.
Enables two stepper drivers to be used for the Y axis (useful for
Shapeoko style machines)
Each Y driver can be stepped in either the same way or in opposite
directions, accounting for different hardware setups (leadscrew vs. belt
driven)

[default off for now]
syntax: M600 X[pos] Y[pos] Z[relative lift] E[initial retract] L[later retract distance for removal]
if enabled, after a M600, the printer will retract by E, lift by Z, move to XY, retract even more filament.
Oh, and it will display "remove filament" and beep like crazy.
You are then supposed to insert a new filament (other color, e.g.) and click the display to continue.
After having the nozzle cleaned manually, aided by the disabled e-steppers.
After clicking, the printer will then go back the whole shebang, and continue printing with a fancy new color.
Add a feature to run the cooling fan at full speed for a small period
(default 100ms) when first starting the fan. Some fans wont reliably
start spinning at low power, and many fans have issue with the PWM at
low power. However, once the fan starts spinning it can reliably be
set to a wide range of PWM values.
fixes#246
Added statements to set the limit switch positions to the maximum travel if homing in the positive direction as well as bed center at (0,0) if defined.
Relocated code based on feedback.
One array was too short. This had nothing to do with long filenames, other than if they were 12 characters exactly, which could only happen if the extension and the text before were filled completely
Instead of a single pre-heat, now there is pre-heat ABS and PLA options
Added defines to the configuration file to adjust preheat temperatures for both
