`

## Operation

The default 'Activate Limit' checkbox is on. When it is on, the functions described below will work, when it is off, the functions will not be called.

## Settings

### Maximum Initial Feed Rate

Default is one millimeter per second.
Defines the maximum speed of the inital tool head will move.

### Maximum Z Feed Rate

Default is one millimeter per second.
If your firmware limits the z feed rate, you do not need to set this setting.
Defines the maximum speed that the tool head will move in the z direction.

## Examples

The following examples limit the file Screw Holder Bottom.stl. The examples are run in a terminal in the folder which contains Screw Holder Bottom.stl and limit.py.
> python limit.py
This brings up the limit dialog.
> python limit.py Screw Holder Bottom.stl
