Error 14 (Startup line too long)

Sorry for bringing another issue up here, I’m sure it’s user error but I was trying to cut out my strut plates and ran into the subject error on line 807. Any ideas?

strut_plate FOR REAL.gcode (113.9 KB)

Not sure. The gcode seems fine. That error gets thrown if running a gcode file or a macro and it hits a line longer than 255 characters.

Could the space in the gcode file name cause weird issues?

Not sure how to avoid this one

I’m not sure. I always avoid spaces in filenames based on past experience outside the CNC world but I don’t know if it matters.

If you want to try it, you could do it as an air cut so you don’t risk wasting material. When it goes to probe, just touch the endmill with the touchplate early enough that it won’t touch.

I usually do too, just didn’t this time for whatever reason. I’ll remove the space and try again as an air cut. I did an air cut on this one too but didn’t let it go all the way through the program. Live and learn!

I’ve also added comments to my start and end gcodes just for my own reference but those shouldn’t cause issues right?

I removed all of my line comments from my post processor gcodes in Estlcam and renamed the file without a space and it completed the entire program in the air so that must’ve done it.

Lesson of the day for me is keep the gcode and file names as simple as possible.
