I got a really nice 3d file I’d like to make. Going through a few forum pages and I found a link that can take the STL and turn it into PNG for carbide create pro and a spit out a gcode usable for my shapeoko called: “fenrus75.github.io/FenrusCNCtools”
I tried loading the code but it says error reading file and lists the following lines has errors listing every one of them.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
I don’t see the list.
Are you using the JavaScript UI or the command line? Can you share the STL here or via PM if you can’t share it publicly?
I was just repeating what it says. I guess I should have used quotations, “the following lines have errors” and it lists all of them.
The file is enormous. And many converters kick it back out saying so.
I attempted to import it from the “URL…” option. Gives the option to select .txt file, doesn’t give much more information than that.
Carbide Create Pro will now directly import an STL:
have you tried that?
Yes. It gave me files and gcode. Just can’t figure out how to get it into Carbide create.
What happens when you try to import the STL into Carbide Create Pro as noted in the afore-linked instructions?
I don’t have Carbide create pro. Says can be used “directly with Shapeoko CNC machines”. Which doesn’t make sense to me.
In that case, use the web page to make G-code to cut out the STL, then send that G-code to the machine using Carbide Motion.

So you’re supposed to put it directly into motion? I will try that. Thanks.
That works. Apparently all I need to figure out was I needed to copy it from the webpage page to notepad, save it then change the extension from .txt to .gcode and it loaded. Now to get this 12hr cut going…
