Eighteen G-code and part-file posts, a GRBL laser post and a Shaper Origin SVG export. Forty-four machine presets from sixteen makers set the bed size, Z travel and safe height. Pick your page below.

Each post has golden-file tests: output for a sample job is compared with a saved copy. That is a software test, not a certification on any machine. Always run the simulator and an air cut on a new setup. Not listed? Start from a generic GRBL, grblHAL, FluidNC, Mach3, Masso or DSP preset and set your own bed size.
