HI, do you see a chance to use ESPUSB https://github.com/cnlohr/espusb to connect to a 3D printer instead of RX TX? I have a Creality Ender 3 Pro printer with usb and cannot find a possibility to use RX TX. Regards Kurt

If https://github.com/cnlohr/espusb/issues/45 ever gets implemented.

In the meantime, you can solder to the Ender 3 mainboard as mentioned here: https://github.com/luc-github/ESP3D/wiki/Creality-CR-10-Ender-3

Could this help? https://github.com/tobozo/ESP32-3DPrinter-Bridge

Yes, that could work but at around $33 I think it's way too expensive; for that kind of money you could go with e.g., an Orange Pi Zero.
