    Is it possible to run cura from a surface pro 3? Haven't ordered the sd unit yet and by accident my wife cracked the edge of the screen so it no longer has touch but everything else works. Would it be possible as just a minute ago my windows decided to crash and I was halfway into a print.

    I guess I've never heard of anyone doing it but if it has USB input and can install arduino drivers I don't see why not

    Charged it and installed Cura, while removing unnecessary programs. Set it up with the codes I had on the pc and started a print. Going to sit here and watch it but so far so good.

    Success this morning as the print was 75% complete without any errors or stop print issues I had when hooked up the the PC. When I get home from work I can get the complete print off and start going at a new one(if any filament is left)
