Hello,
Sometimes I use my CNC for 3D printing.
Most slicer softwares can generate gcode for CNCs (MACH3 or GRBL mega 5X): the extruder stepper motor is call "A" (instead of "E0").
It seems that gsender uses the "Y" axis as a rotary axis (instead of commonly used "A" axis).

As an example:
Gcode loaded : G1 A66.32041 F2400.00000
Gcode sent to GRBL by gsender: G1 Y66.320 F2400.00000 ("A" has been replaced by "Y")

For this reason, gsender cannot be used for 3D printing.
Is it possible to add an option to handle the A axis as a normal axis (i.e. no change in the gcode) ?
Thanks

Thank you for the feedback, there were a few other users who had requested this exact feature and we have put it in our backlog of things we want to implement at some point in the future. But for now, it will not be a priority as we are focusing our efforts on other tasks :)
