Duplicator i3 firmware/Drivers for Simplify3D?

I have a Duplicator i3, and Simplify3D, but being new to 3D printing am having a little trouble.

I would really like to have my i3 hooked up via USB to take full advantage of the controls and setting in Simplify3D.


But, for the life of me I cant get my PC/Simplify3D to recognise the i3, so am having to put everything on SD card to print.


Is there some firmware/Drivers I need, as the i3 did not come with a CD?

Just came across this thread.... Hope that these links help you out! I just found these links only a couple of mins ago when searching for the same information.

I just got my machine 2 days ago, and am experimenting with it. I am very new to this world of 3D printing, so finding a way to keep it simple helps. Honestly, WanHao should have included setup files and info of our printboards on the SD Card besides a copy of Cura.

Personally, I am finding that I like the way that Repetier-Host and Slic3r work compared to Cura to create G-Code files. At this time I am only using the SD Card method, not the USB Cable method to start printing. One other thing that has been bugging me is that I am having issues with the G-Code not warming up the bed or extruder, however it may be my malfunction, lol.
