Just my opinion but I think you would be wasting your time trying to use Mach4 for something it was never intended to do.
Cura is an excellent software for creating the sliced model GCode as well as defining the correct temperatures and feedrates for the size and type of filament being used. To this end it creates many M, G & E code calls that would not be recognized by Mach. Although there are a number of other CAD/CAM softwares (Aspire, Augie, etc.) that will create sliced model GCode they are, in my opinion, nowhere near the level of the dedicated 3D printer softwares.
Stand alone 3D printers are relatively cheap nowadays and or course, they are designed for the purpose and if you want to produce top quality 3D prints then that is the way to go.
