Hi Group!,

This is not specifically a problem but since you've been so good with every other issue I've had I thought Id run this by the group.

My seven year old Windows 7 laptop is on it's last legs and I'm replacing it with a Mac. I have other Macs so I'm good for all my software except for Cura which I've only used on the laptop. Is there a specific version of Cura for Mac that works best with the DP5 or is there an alternative to Cura that works better?

Thanks!

You might not get the print via USB, but the features are the best money doesn't have to buy.

I have MatterControl running, you wouldn't happen to have a Setup you could share with me?
