Yeah, I felt the same about Cura. I decided to to jump on github, and put in my plea for some of the most sever Mac Repetier bugs... namely ignoring limit stops except for when homing.

i tried it once befor and didnt care for it. i thought maybe they made some changes so i tried it again, its a little better but still not for me. if it had more in the way of controlling the printer it would be alot cooler. even the models i tried slicing with cura didnt work... i dont know waht i did wrong went through and set it up carefully.

So for now I will stick with RH, but I wish there was a way to get the MAC version of RH up to date without becoming a programmer overnight.

Can always use a virtual machine and the windows version......

I bought a new iMac recently. Was off the mac for the first time in my entire life for a year. While I have a new found appreciation for the windows world of computing... I couldn't wait to get back to my roots. Seriously. I have used them since I was 8 years old on the Apple 2. Anyhow, unfortunately Repetier Host (my preferred program for my SD3) seems to be far behind in development on the Mac platform compared to the other platforms.

I have heard good things about Cura, and really good things about the ultimaker. Anyhow I am thinking of trying out Cura. Anyone have thoughts on the matter?

Also interested in preferred Apple setups for the Solidoodle.
