smartavionics 134 Posted March 24, 2017 in How to stop USB plugin grabbing printer? (edited) So, I want to use Cura to slice but I want to use another application (e.g. S3D, pronterface, etc.) to actually print. How do I stop Cura grabbing the printer it sees on /dev/ACM0? Thanks.

ahoeben 420 Posted March 24, 2017 in How to stop USB plugin grabbing printer? Most straightforward way is to remove the USBPrintingPlugin for now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smartavionics 134 Posted March 24, 2017 in How to stop USB plugin grabbing printer? Thanks for the reply. OK, bit of a pain though as I have to remove it every time I update Cura. Would be somewhat nicer to have a preference that simply disables the plugin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nallath 530 Posted March 24, 2017 in How to stop USB plugin grabbing printer? I might make a pull request for that some of these days. It's not that hard to fix. Ultimaker doesn't see it as a priority. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think a "Don't automatically connet to USB" preference would be better for this case. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ahoeben 420 Posted March 25, 2017 in How to stop USB plugin grabbing printer? Yes, that would be useful to have too. I've been waiting for Alephobjects to create a PR of their usb rework, but I might go ahead and implement my own proposal for 2.6: https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura/issues/1049 https://github.com/fieldOfView/USBConnectionMockup Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
