  1. I've tried installing my Makerbot Replicator+ in Cura versions 4.5.something, 5.4.0, and the new 5.5.0 beta...all with no success. Makerbot's own software for this machine is no longer being updated. Makerbot's CloudPrint should be used instead, but my school's wifi connection is horrible, and reinstalling wifi on my six machines then needs to be done from another computer, because this one can't download the old software. So, I'm turning to Cura as a fix, thinking that Ultimaker would have the best chance of making it work... But I can't seem to get it running. I have: - ensured that the printer is on and plugged into my macbook pro (M2 chip) before starting Cura - installed the "Replicator" printer, though I'm not sure if it's even compatible It's worth noting that I am plugged into a usb-c adapter, and that works fine with my arduino. When I slice my file, I only get a "save" option, not a "print" one, but I can't figure out where to check if it is on the right com port. Any ideas? I'm not savvy enough to write code, but I can follow directions, lol! I run the makerspace for my school, and it would be nice not to fuss with multiple laptops, if possible. (For what it's worth, I'm willing to shell out the money for Simplify 3D if that's my only option, but I won't be reimbursed by the school, so I'd prefer not to go that route.) Thanks! Laura
