what has happened to this world? since when has mankind ever said "what we have right now works good enough, why change it"?

DavidS you keep going, it would be nice if someone would come out with a STANDARD file for 3D printing, and if it's less work for the MCU then that means less printer crashes, fewer failed prints, and in the future faster print times.

we as a society have become obsessed with over complicating things, just look at how many different formats we have for just a basic text document, we need to standardize and simplify, how many times have you downloaded a file only to find out you don't have the right program to open it? or how many times you have downloaded a video file only to find you don't have the right codec, don't you think it would be nice to do a search on your computer and just get the files for your 3D printer without them being mixed in with files for laser cutters and CNC mills and so on?

besides, with 3D printers being sold in Staples and so on, how many new average users are going to have any idea how to debug a Gcode file in the first place? unless you want to try and tell me that my grandma can go out, buy a new computer and be able to debug her system everytime Windows crashes
