I am still getting that non discript error "Cura Error" while trying to start the program. OSX 10.9.1 Mavericks.

Haha guilty of that too sometimes. Exactly the way I was thinking but without the relay. I was going to unsolder the Mosfet, take a wire from the gate pin to the mosfet thats on a external board that then allows you to use the 24V with the loveliness of PWM! Also gets rid of that ticking from a relay!

I wouldn't need extra cooling as there will still only be 19v going to the board. The dropper would be an external device bolted to the bottom. If you can see where I am coming from. From my readings the UM uses 70-80w at 19v so a 150w dc to dc would do fine.

I would be feeding 19v into the ultimaker board via the dc to dc dropper. Meaning I don't need to change anything on the board.

I have a brain fart of an idea on how go use a 24v psu with a ultimaker. I though that using the full 24v for a heated bed then using a dc to dc converter to get to the 19v for the rest of the electronics. Anyone see any issues with this idea? I have found a few 150w dc to dc converters on eBay so seems it will have enough juice.

Just downloaded Cura 14.01 for the first time on my Mac running Mavericks. I keep getting an error saying Cura: Cura Error. With two options: View Console or Terminate. The Console has nothing apart from Cura: Cura Error in it. Downloaded 13.12 and thats the same too. What could be the issue?
