Hi my name is malc and I have just bought the ctc replicator and have just bought the simplify 3d software,i keep getting an error when I try to connect by usb I am running windows 8.1 on a HP laptop , I get permissions error connecting to port \\.\com4... is there another application already connected to this port error opening selected port.
I only have a mouse connected to another port on the laptop, and if I use the Makerbot software I can connect to the 3d printer ok? can anyone help with this?
Re: Attempting connection error
It's probably because your makerbot conveyor service is still running in the background.
Open MakerBot Desktop, go to Services --> Stop background service.
