How do I start over mid stream?
I’ve had some errors that I’m correcting as I learn. I would like to restart where I left off. Is that possible?
This question has been asked many times. Unless you are an expert at GCode…don’t do it.
Two options.
- Reprogram, or 2) if you are using V4+ on Carbide Motion, rerun from the beginning at 200% feed, and slow it down when it gets to the proper point.
Edit: If it is a LONG multi operation program, split it into several programs
At my level of understanding I couldn’t do either of those. Thnx tho
To restart a file:
- take note of the current line number
- open the G-Code file
- select all the preamble and copy it (should be obvious, if not, see https://www.shapeoko.com/wiki/index.php/G-Code )
- scroll down to the line noted
- scroll up until one sees a move down from the safe/retract height — delete everything from the beginning to above that line
- paste in the preamble
- save under a new filename
