removing items from a gcode file?

I am printing thin wall rc airplane parts.  I have sliced one particular part using a supplied stl file.  It prints 1/2 of the part and the nozzle starts to hit the part in one corner and ruins the print.  Ive tried slowing it down, increasing the layer height and it still does it.  The designer 3dprintlab supplies gcodes and I would like to try that but it puts three parts into one print file.  Is it possible to remove the 2 parts I have already printed from the file?

Thanks

Jeff

Unless the generated gcode prints one part at a time, extracting two unwanted parts on each layer of a gcode file will be anything from tedious to impractical. But, if the pre-generated gcode tags the parts (using syntax that our Prusa printers recognize) you may be able to start the print and then cancel the two parts that you don't want during the first layer.
