Z goes up on Program start

As the title says: Z goes up by a few mm before starting. I don’t have a clue as to why:

Before it had G0 Z.3000 in there as well that I didn’t add, but that wasn’t the problem. Also, I don’t have a touch plate.

Also, the crown I generated (above) works otherwise. The other program with the same settings in Estlcam does not move at all. Are there filename restrictions?

Oh, maybe Z zero is missing?

Replying to myself: Yes, the Z 0 was missing, and yes, the filename was too long of the other file. :smiley:
