Topic: OSX or Windows for Solidoodle Support Software..... Which is better?

Hi all,

I just got word that my Solidoodle just shipped (order #1130 May, 15th) so now I am getting excited.

I have a MacBook that I want to dedicate to my Solidoodle.  I would like to use the Mac side more, even though most of my
CAD applications are on the Windows side, but have read that the Mac side software is more of a pain and might not be as complete and robust as the Windows side..... Is this true?

Any direction for a complete newbie here would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I've only used the Mac software, it works just fine.  I do suggest you go strasight to Repetier-Host and Slic3r, it makes things easier.

I have used the OSX software package solidoodle has on their site as well and it works fine.

Use replicatorg for centering your prints before slicing them, they have an osx version of that too.
