3D Printing Slicing Software "Cura" causes 6300 to intermittently TX

Anyone 3D printing using Cura as a Slicer? I use the same computer for slicing as SmartSDR is installed on. When I have Cura open, the PTT on the 6300 intermittently keys and unkeys about every 8 seconds for a brief second. Obviously Cura, is accessing a comm port that the Flex is using, but I can not figure out how to turn it off. The 3D printer is not hooked up to the computer, I only slice files with Cura.
Thanks and 73!

Printing a PTT switch ? ;-)
one thing to check is if it not try to send binary data to serial port ( CAT)
quick googeling and seem it effectively use serial port ,so make sure it not try to use or find a printer on serial port used by CAT0 -

This is poor programming as it is change the RTS and DTR flags and that is what is causing your radio to go into TX.
You need to find a setting that turns this off or talk to the author of the slicer.
The Elecraft W2 desktop software does the same thing.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. Looks like I corrected the issue. You have to go in "Plugins" and disable usb printing.0
