or like this:

Unfortunately, your machine most probably will not alert you about these problems and start the task, but will stop trying to read the occurred code. So, you will not only fail your model but also risk damaging your machine

Requires

Java 17

Download GCodeErrorMadChecker

Open your terminal or command prompt on your computer (Windows/Mac/Linux) ang go to:

GCodeErrorMadChecker/src/main/java/

Features

Checks for suspicious lines based on the ASCII table and line length. Allows customization of markers to specify the range for checking. Customization You can customize the markers used for the start and end of the checking range by modifying the constants in the code:

private static final String START_MARKER = ";GCodeErrorMadChecker_Start";
private static final String END_MARKER = ";GCodeErrorMadChecker_End";

Start and End Markers

The application uses markers to specify the range for checking.

Add the Start Marker

;GCodeErrorMadChecker_Start

to the end of your Machine Starting Gcode in your slicer.

Add the End Marker

;GCodeErrorMadChecker_End

to the beginning of your Machine Ending Gcode in your slicer.

GCodeErrorMadChecker will not check your code without Start and End Markers

Customization (optional)

You can customize the markers used for the start and end of the checking range by modifying the constants in the code:

private static final String START_MARKER = ";GCodeErrorMadChecker_Start";
private static final String END_MARKER = ";GCodeErrorMadChecker_End";
