Printer not found/settings

I just upgraded to the latest Simplify3D and it cant' seem to find my Flashforge Dual Creator Pro.

I can find it with the Makerbot Desktop just fine.

The Simplify 3D settings ask for comm port and baud rate which sounds like it thinks I'm using RS232 or something. Any ideas?

Thanks.

Re: Printer not found/settings

Makerbot desktop launches all these annoying background processes that will completely tie up your printer's serial port so that it can't connect with any other programs. So open the software and go to Services > Stop Background Service. Then try to connect with S3D.
