Right on! I just swapped to MacOS & contacted my 3D printer Manufacturer for advice with slicer software for Macs. They recommended Cura. Any advice for adding a printer that’s not on Cura’s “Add a Printer” list? (especially would be fantastic to hear from another in the community working with a MacOS device) Thanks, -Lg ---

Cura has quite a few printers listed - might be helpful if you named your printer so the community could provide useful input. I’m on Windows10 so can’t advise re Mac. ---

I recommend the Material Settings plug-in, so that you can keep track of the different material-specific settings like K-factor and %flow in your slicer and not have to manually edit those settings in the print profiles before printing. Do take care to export & protect your profiles on your hard-drive, though, so that you don’t lose it all if you uninstall/reinstall Cura for any reason.
