    Please upload your g-code file.
    G53 is the machine co-ordinate system, G54 is the first of the workplace co-ordinate systems
    We need to ssee what those G53 commands are.

    Its not an error. Its a reminder to HOME!
    You haven't yet, and there are some Z safe moves or similar in G53. Don't overthink it. Just HOME as requested

    If you have not homed yet, its warning you its not homed: Check if machine is homed and if any G53 moves are in the GCODE, Ask to Home · Issue #219 · OpenBuilds/OpenBuilds-CONTROL

    Note the wording of the message: "TIP:..." - its of course up to you to decide whether to ignore the advice, but homing is always a good idea

    The sample file you uploaded is not one that contains G53 and does not raise the message either - but your other file might have.

    no G53 in that file, but it does have a T1M6 toolchange which you will need to remove.

    some resources for you to learn from: (knowledge is power!)
    the what and how of G53
    Home, Fusion360 and G53 Z moves

    if your machine does not have home switchesm then you need to fake it
