Topic: SD4 on MAC is sounding and working terrible

Hi everyone,

We received two SD4 last week, at first we installed the on W7 and made some test prints. But now we installed them on MAC and the printer does not recongnice endstops and we also get axis shifts on Y and X. What seems ti be the problem. Its the software for MAC bugged?

From all posts I've seen, Mac problems are directly associated as being RH problems.
Use the search tab on Soliforum...this has been discussed quite a few times.

Printit Mason and Printit Horizon printers
Multiple SD2s- Bulldog XL, E3D v5/v6/Lite6, Volcano, Hobb Goblin, Titan, .9 motor, Lawsy carriages, direct Y drive, fishing line...the list goes on
Filawinder and Filastruder #1870.....worth every penny!

RH on mac is a totally different program. It's not a port, so much as a native rewrite, and the lead dev doesn't care for maintaining it.
