    How come i keep having the layer view fail? I start the generate and it fail every time. Is there something I'm not doing right? It never gets past the slice model part.

    Not sure I understand. Are you failing to slice a specific model or all models?
    What errors are you seeing the terminal?

    Well, MatterControl is not without bugs.
    If you really want to pursue that go here:

    https://www.matterhackers.com/community/forum

    They write MatterControl and can support it.
    If you want to try other software I would suggest repetier host.

    Configure your initial Z offset higher, go up in small increments (0.1mm)
