    I am attempting to compare the slicers in MatterControl, but Slic3er gives me an error when I try to look at layer view. It says "Slicing Error. Please review your slice settings" Since it worked with the MatterSlicer, I pretty much have the same settings. I've messed around with a lot of choices, but I have no clue where to look and what it does not like. Is there any way to get it tell me what it doesn't like?

    I tried Slic3er on a different computer with a fresh download, and it just crashed. I think my object is too complex. So here's a question for anyone: is it possible to put the cura slicing engine into the mattercontrol printer controller? Looking at how the cura slicer cuts up my complex part, it seems a lot better in terms of how it will end up than what the matter slicer does. And it does not crash, so that's a good thing too.

    If I have the G code for the basic shape, is it possible to import it into MatterControl? The temperature control monitoring is dynamic and not part of the motion control. I could take the cura G code output and run it under MatterControl for just this one shape. Is that possible?

    matterhackers.com are the creators of MAtterControl and they have a forum. You can probably get a better answer straight from them.
