G-Code File Size

Estimate the physical file size of complex 3D or 5-axis surfacing programs to determine if a legacy controller has enough internal memory, or if you must stream the file.

Usually ~35 bytes for 3-axis (X Y Z), ~50 for 5-axis (X Y Z A C).

Note: Many legacy controllers have a hard memory limit of 1MB, 2MB, or 8MB. SmartMachine OS has no file size limit and streams directly from the SSD or network.
