I have a Duplicator i3, and Simplify3D, but being new to 3D printing am having a little trouble.
I would really like to have my i3 hooked up via USB to take full advantage of the controls and setting in Simplify3D.
But, for the life of me I cant Simplify3D to connect to the i3, so am having to put everything on SD card to print.
Is there some firmware/Drivers I need, as the i3 did not come with a CD?
The printer is showing up as FT232R USB UART, and I have the latest FTDI drivers due to Arduino projects and not had any issues with USB to serial.
But every time I try and connect to the i3 in Simplify3D, I get the Following.
Attempting connection at \\.\COM3...
Testing plaintext communication protocol...
Testing binary communication protocol...
Testing alternate communication protocols...
Attempting RTS reset and trying again...
Connection failed.
Any chance of a little help?
