Topic: Problems to run the needed Software on my MAC

Hi,

I ordered my printer today and I think I will have a few weeks to fix the problem.

I tried to install Solidoodle 4.2 Macinstall package on my MacBookAir (11") OS= Mountain Lion 10.8

- pronterface-mac-Mar2012.app I can start the software but I get error messages:
   Entering skeinforge settings:  /Applications/Slic3r.app/Contents/MacOS/slic3r
   --load config.ini --ignore-nonexistent-config Skeinforge execution failed:  [Errno 2] No such file or directory
- wxPython2-1.8-osx-unicode-2.8.12.1-universal-py2.7 is running as far as I can check.

Is anybody her using a MBA with OS X 10.8?

Thank
wolfi

Re: Problems to run the needed Software on my MAC

i trashed everything and downloaded the software again today and i can get skeinforge to load when i open pronterface.command and not try to run the .app.for some reason i thought pronterface.command was just part of the installation process. only issue now is that Skeinforge and the 2 windows when you load the .stl are stuck wherever they pop up and i cant move them but thats trivial.

Re: Problems to run the needed Software on my MAC

turnrock,

I did the same and it works. Of course I can't test it fully because I have no printer.
The zip file has about 77MB and the old version had 107MB which means they changed it significant.

Parallel I'm preparing my "old" DELL mini (Win XP Pro) maybe I'm using this netbook with the printer permanently?

Thanks for your help

Re: Problems to run the needed Software on my MAC

Has anyone installed the latest updated Mac software from the Solidoodle web site? Is the instillation process any easier, and is there a list of what issues it has fixed? Do you still need to make the G-code start and position fix changes or are those things fixed in teh latest release?
