    small files loaded into the control software work great but upon loading a 38mb file the 3d renedering creator times out with a white screen. I tried it on 2 computers and same results. If the openbuilds control software cant run larger files what can I do?

    Depends on the number of GCODE lines (800k-1million is about the limit for a PC with 4GB of RAM)
    - Temporarilly disable the 3D view from Troubleshooting > Application diagnostics to get the job to run (3D view is just eye candy, you can run without it)
    - Enable smoothing in your CAM to avoid a tonne of crazy short little moves
