I use Solidworks CAM, never had any issues, but this is the first time trying 3-axis milling and I get an error (error in line 823, unsupported g-code) on the highlighted line below when trying to open the g-code in Carbide Motion.
G5 is the gcode for “cubic spline”, and it happens not to be supported by GRBL, than runs on Shapeoko controllers (see list of supported gcodes here: GRBL G-code definitions)
I’m not familiar with Solidworks CAM, I couldn’t say if there is a way to force it to break that spline move into individual line segments codes.

I just deleted that line, it seems that it will still do the cut, we’ll see
Are you using a Grbl Post processor?
That G5 doesn’t look right.
