Having trouble operating on a Mac

Hi, we have just finished building the velleman k8200,
We are having trouble loading the slicer configuration on a Mac and the slicer settings will
Not allow us to change it from default.
Could anyone help please!

I had the same problem. I had to use a virtual machine with Windows to get the firmware updated.

Thanks for your help I’ve got it working now ! Not exactly sure what I done but I am away !!! Thanks again

Could you explain a little bit? Did you use windows or did uou change setiings in the mac with Arduino?

Instead of trying to get the Repetier Host to work under Yosemite, I downloaded Cura from the UltiMaker site: software.ultimaker.com Unfortunately installation requires a little change to the system settings to allow the unsigned binary to run (otherwise it will give you a ‘Application Corrupt’ error when trying to run it. After a successful installation you can copy the Cura [settings] file mentioned elsewhere on this forum.

Here are a few pictures of my results printed with Cura 14.12.1 for OS X. I used 1.75mm PLA @210ºC with the default settings taken from the Velleman Windows version (export settings ->*.rcp).
