One reason I acquired, assembled and have been using "Moment's Folly", my 3D printer, was to redevelop some familiarity with gcode. Gcode is an all-purpose instruction set for controlling CNC machines: mills use it, lathes use it, 3d printers use it. And so do many waterjet cutters.

Work has a waterjet. It was refusing to run a process file to cut material: I knew enough of what I was looking at to fix the file and get the project cut.

Another day saved by hobbies and Notepad. XD

Gcode is confusing, yeah... just always remember that M5 = Jane, stop this crazy thing!!
