So I haven’t had the time to really mess with this, but i quickly tried another test file of the word “TEST” using the gcodeplot extension for inkscape, it only has pen up/down commands at the beginning, and the end of the file. gcodeplot is the only extension i have been able to get to work. Is there a better way? below is the gcode.
