Re: NEWBIE DESIGN SOFTWARE ADVICE PLEASE.
Don't spend the money. If you want to try CAD then try FreeCAD which is also no charge. However be warned - here's a world of confusion waiting for you with these options! I've been using 3D printers for several years and having tried CAD options (paid and free) I've never een able to get those work...

Re: Newbie software issues
There is a download link on the URL page I gave, and on the download page is a version for Mac OS. I'm afraid I can't help much in relation to the Mac.

Re: Newbie software issues
I've never used an ender, however the general consensus seems positive. I can't unfortunately help with Mac, however Cura is available for Mac my use of the Windows version gives me positive vibes, and being free that would be a good start: https://ultimaker.com/software/ultimaker-cura I suggest you...

Re: Newbie software issues
Congratulations!
It may help if you advised the printer type. Whilst slicers are pretty generic, some printers can be fussy.

Re: Too poor to buy cheap- getting what you pay for
