Cura USB Printing

You can disable the USB Printing part of Cura and it will no longer touch your USB ports, causing issues with Octoprint on the same system.

  • Go to “Marketplace”
  • Go to the “Installed” tab
  • Scroll down to “USB Printing”
  • Uncheck the checkbox in front of it
  • Restart Cura
