Again thanks so much for your help - I now have Pronterface working great with both printers. I'm using Cura to slice, save to g-code, load that in Pronterface and print. If that's not right and there's an easier way let me know otherwise I'm good to go and again really appreciate your help. ~Ross

First thanks for the blazing fast reply - question, and forgive my ignorance with prontrface - I understood that was a Pi app - does that act as a layer between Cura and the printer or does it replace Cura? I can't play with it right now as I have 4 hours left on a print so if you see this awesome otherwise I'll play around later. ~Ross

I have 2 Ender 3 Pro's and would like to print to both of them, simultaneously, from a single PC via USB. I know there are solutions like Klipper, Octoprint, etc. that would let me print over WiFi if I used a Raspberry Pi, etc. - right now I have no budget left to buy anything more (as those are crazy expensive right now) so I need to do this with what I have. I can't tell that this is even possible - I see no way to assign each printer to a specific COMM port, and as I know that Cura spams data to any and all COMM ports it finds I sorta feel like that would prevent this from working in the first place - but a few guys on the subreddit claim it is possible, they of course can't tell me how to set it up though. I know I can use SD cards too but I'm not only having issues with the readers (long story) but I'd rather not have to walk the card back and forth when I start prints (yes, I'm just that lazy!) So with just the printers, cables and a PC can I print to 2 Ender 3 Pro's via USB simultaneously? Thanks! ~Ross
