Excellent - Win7 snip works great Thanx
Bear in mind that what you're seeing could well be the notorious 'thin wall' problem in Cura, where certain parts of the walls don't get filled in properly.
If you haven't already, try slicing with a single loop around the outside - set your wall thickness equal to your nozzle width, and are if that makes any difference to the end result.
Hi - Is it possible to generate screenshots from Cura once the file has been 'prepared' for printing? I have had a bottle cap with thread designed for me but once it has been 'prepared' the walls have hollow sections in them - I need to show my designer

New features
Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.- 0 replies

I don't know mac but I'm sure it has the same capabilities...
On windows you can hit printscreen button (next to scroll lock - above insert key) and that does a screenshot of your entire screen. Or you can do ALT-PrintScreen to get a screenshot of just the active application. Once you do either of those you can open up mspaint (start button, run, mspaint (skip 'run' in vista/win7). In mspaint do "paste" and then save as png. Don't save as jpg as jpg isn't good for screenshots - it's only good for photos.
If you have win7 you can use the snipping tool. Click start button and type "sni" and it will come up. Snipping tool is nice because it has built in highlighting functions (like makeing red circles and yellow highlighter).
