First try at Prusa Slicer.

I've just installed 2.5  Never used Prusa slicer and apparently need to setup two "custom" printers as they do not appear on the lists of pre configured printers.   They happen to be a BigBox Hybrid and a modified  Robo 3D R1.    Both are currently USB connected.

So, I expected to see some way to specify the "COM" port in printer configuration, but do not see one.  

Suggestions?

RE: First try at Prusa Slicer.

PRUSA slicer doesn’t support sending directly to a printer via usb. That functionality was deprecated long ago when the code base was ported. 

It is now designed to integrate to print servers such as octoprint or Repetier server for example. It can also send to other sources like flash air cards etc but it doesn’t send to usb. 

If you are new to PS then please read through the knowledge base https://help.prusa3d.com/category/configuration-and-profiles_207 to get started.

Thanks for your reply.  I have managed to get going, somewhat, with Octoprint.   It is pretty much a "hobby" with me these days.
