I used Easel to generate a design for my wasteboard, but when I download it, it spits out a .NC file.
in notepad below is a start of the G-code:
G21
M3 S20000 (Does this line need to be removed)
G90
G1 Z3.810 F228.6
G0 X-223.074 Y-401.255
G1 Z-1.600 F228.6
G1 X-222.945 Y-401.074 F500.0
G1 X-223.127 Y-400.945 F500.0
even if I change the file type, I’m unable to load it into Repetier-Host and then send it to the machine.
I’d appreciate it if someone can help me with this. (Super NEW to this Gcode stuff)
I don’t see anything wrong with the contents there.
Changing it to .gcode should work. If you are in windows, make sure you have the option to show file extensions, or you might be renaming it to name.gcode.nc

Thank you, I will try that later on today. That could have been my mistake of just adding .gcode vs changing the actual file extension through properties.
Gcode files are ascii text files, and may be assigned any of several file extensions depending on the program that generates them - I’ve seen both .gcode and .nc file names and swapped between them on multiple occasions. There’s no problem changing the extension to whatever your reader needs to see.
