The sd slot on my printer has defunct and will no longer read STL files
Printers generally don't read STL files. You need to feed them gcode files.

Depends on the printer. Most of the time you need an "USB A to USB B" cable. You may need to install a driver on your computer. And even then, Cura may not be able to communicate with your printer.
Edit: it looks like your have a CR 10, which actually uses a USB A to micro USB cable.

In the Cura 5.8 stable release, everyone can now tune their Z seams to look better than ever. Method series users get access to new material profiles, and the base Method model now has a printer profile, meaning the whole Method series is now supported in Cura!
