Now why didn’t I think of that? I must be worth money to someone as a card carrying V…

/me off to grindr

/me arch user with 4 crotch goblins… Must be a cuck and not know it :(

Guys

Problem solved - nope, let’s be honest worked around.

You know that saying in Technology & Design “never update the software” with respect to CNC machines etc.?

well it seems if I install the latest and greatest from XYZ the printer is not recognised. If I keep the original versions everything works (whatever version of windows is installed). So now I have to work out a way of stopping the auto-update…

Now that is something I wouldn’t have thought about.

Will try it and see - anything is worth a go!

Tried that - no difference.

Tried setting com port and baud rate in Cura environment for USB Printing NG plug in. No joy (though monitor in Cura stops complaining the printer is offline, it won’t do things like pre-heat the head)

Real head scratcher.

Nope - that’s the one thing I didn’t do (because 3D maker worked with out it)

Thanks for the reminder though - I will try that in the morning.
