+1 for octopi. I have that and a d-link webcam and works great. Simplify3D does all the slicing. Octopi preheats the printer, sends in the gcode to print and creates a nifty timelapse video of it to boot. That sounds pretty sweet. That might be what I end up doing. Hate to waste the Mac Mini, though.

I added it because it wasnt homing the Z access or using the probe. It just started the print in mid air from the position it was in after adding filament.

I dont have adhesion issues printing at 220 but the quality ...

I would also suggest scalpel blades instead of X-acto knife blades. No 11 and No 23 blades work for most situations, but if you go on Amazon you can see a ton of options. 2 weeks ago I picked up a box of 100 blades for $9 and it came with a free blade holder.
