Issue with custom inkscape gcode causing restarts and timeouts

Hi,

I've printed some models to attach pens to the printhead and have plotted some vector art with the MK3S+. For Gcode generation I've used Incscape's gcodetools extension. Some of the results have been really nice, but I have some minor issues with the generated gcode and the way the Prusa handles it:

• If printing from the SD card, the printer always complains that the file is incomplete. What gcode commands is the firmware expecting at the end of the file? Is there something I can add to prevent this? A Prusa specific comment?
• On some files I get inactivity timeouts and the printer locks down. I've tried to add an M85 command to the gcode header, but this doesn't always work. Octoprint is even worse, because a timeout will cause octoprint to halt the printer and disconnect.
• When the print succeeds, it doesn't do it cleanly. It's only as if the error happens the same, only when (thankfully) the drawing is complete; the printer restarts. This may be related to the issue with seeing the files as incomplete.

As an example, below is a file I've generated. I've changed the header and footer and I've also removed all of gcodetools CNC style comments in brackets, in case the Prusa firmware was tripping on those.

Hope someone can help. Thanks!
