    Can you post some of the file?

    Can you cut the file down to a 1000 lines and load that?

    I've loaded some large files in emc without issue.

    EMC2 not reading large Gcode file???? HELP

    if i cut the file down to 1000 line, it would work fine. the problem is that i want to make a small jello and cookie mold and need to run all the code at once. separating it would take a lot of time and would not be accurate. i have attach a file of what I'm trying to run on emc2 . you can download it and see if it run on your emc2 or not.
    """"" i try to attach a file, but i don't know where it when to. here is my email, if you want a copy the G code file. [email protected]""""

    How much RAM memory do you have in the computer? ZIP the file and attach it.

    Good catch kweierbach! I thought he was just having a load problem. Just looking through the code it does look absolute.
