Hi! I'm Ryan, and I work at MatterHackers in the Test & Support department. I answer questions about and provide support for printers, filament, and our MatterControl software.
Happy printing!

RE: more questions
In that case, Air Gap is what you need to focus on. Right now the value is too great. Lower it, and find a value that works.

RE: more questions
If you're not getting good layer adhesion, the nozzle temp is too cold.

RE: Fuzzy top layers
Under-extrusion, probably due to insufficient heat, or printing too fast. Check out this article to start: https://www.matterhackers.com/news/how-to-get-the-best-3d-printed-parts-by-understanding-extrusion-settings

RE: Stop at end of layer?
MatterControl does not have this functionality. Pause is the closest function you'll likely find.

RE: Pull out on pause?
MatterControl always runs in absolute mode, even if relative is specified.

RE: Pull out on pause?
You can configure any set of commands to be run during pause by inserting them into the Pause G-Code field: http://wiki.mattercontrol.com/SETTINGS/Printer/Custom_G-Code/Pause_G-Code
See here for a reference to G-Code commands: G-code - RepRap

RE: Kodama Trinus3D profile for MatterControl?
MatterControl sends G-Code over a serial connection, so if the Trinus3D can support that protocol, it is compatible with MatterControl at the basic level. I noticed from a quick search about the printer that it also transforms into a laser engraver; this functionality is not inherent to MatterControl. Only the 3D printing side would likely work, though with some experimentation, you might be able to use the laser.
In any case, we don't have one, so we won't likely produce a profile for MatterControl in the short term future, but you can probably figure something out. Check out these links for more info:

RE: more questions
The next version of MatterControl will have much better support generation capabilities, so I'll defer any solutions until that's released. I think you'll enjoy it when it's ready (which I don't have an estimate for, other than *possibly* later this year, maybe next year).

RE: Wanhao Duplicator 4 (Dual Extruder) issue
Thanks for your report. This is a known bug, and is on the list of issues to fix.
At the moment, we don't have a work around solution to offer, unfortunately.
