As one other user mentioned it won't read any gcodes I've tried 5 different slicers thinking it could be the way the slicer does it's slicing but neither one would read the app says it's not a valid gcode I wish it worked because it would definitely be a handy app I'm not going to uninstalled it just yet and hope this gets fixed in the next 30 to 60 days I guess if it isn't fixed by then I won't have any other choice but to uninstall it
