Cura running two printers at once?

[billdempsey 0]

I have a couple questions. Will Cura get confused if I have a second printer connected by USB? Can I use Cura to send print jobs to both printers? Will I have to run two instances of Cura to do that?

While I've never tested it, I suspect you can run two instances at once and one will connect to one printer and the other will connect to the second.

Thanks Daid! Also, has anyone used Cura with other printers besides Ultimaker?

I know it has gained significant traction in the RepRap world beyond UM, but I have yet to personally try it. It should function with any Marlin based firmware though.

Yes, quite a few actually. It works on most if not all RepRap designs if the printer runs Marlin or Sprinter.
