Virtual Serial Connection to ESP-01s from Simplify3D over WiFi - Working!
On my Creator Pro I have always liked to use a USB connection in order to manage and send prints, rather than the more conventional walk-up and plug in a card. I have a dedicated laptop which runs Windows 10 and Simplify 3D. Despite the perfectly valid criticism of updates stalling, I really quite like S3D and I do hope that the development does finally start moving again. For me, it's a very handy way of working.
