Runt8

Thanks for the reply! This sounds like a great option, but I'm not able to run the "good" Cura - it crashes on startup. I don't know if it's because it's too old to run on my updated version of macOS, or if the changes made by Monoprice just broke it... Are project files platform independent? I.e., if I can get the Monoprice version of Cura to work on an older Windows machine can I transfer the save over to my Mac?

I purchased my son a Monoprice Cadet 3d printer over the summer. The sample prints that came included with the printer turn out very nice, but models that we slice come out average at best. Up until now I've been using a custom printer that I manually entered the few settings that are exposed in the interface, but I'm hoping to create an actual printer definition that allows me to adjust a wider variety of settings. Monoprice included a customized version of Cura (4.3) that has definition files for the Cadet, but it crashes on startup on the latest version of macOS. I've spent hours tweaking the definition files trying to get them to work with Cura version 4.8, but while I'm now able to add the Cadet as a printer, none of the profiles show up and when I try to slice a model no progress is made. Are there any Cura gurus who would be willing to take a look at these definition files and point me in the right direction? The attached "Cura 4.3.zip" file contains all the relevant (I think) files from the Monoprice version of Cura. Thanks for any help! Cura 4.3.zip
