I just plugged the cable in and when I started cura, it paused the printer and parked it, so I'm seeing if resume works from its own control now. Looks like it worked. I've loaded the wave gear, and flipped it open face down then sliced it. 17 hrs 42 minutes render time. For some reason these stl files are all stood on edge. But face down puts the drive hub up in the air, so I've no clue what cura will do for support structure. Need an xray view of preview. Maybe shoulda put bolt face down, supports would be on back side and more easily removable.
