I had to dump cura shortly after I bought my first printer. Something I realized with the 8bit boards, every time you open the serial port while it's printing, the board basically locks up and reboots. So when you open the device tab that cura has in the middle of a print, you will get pissed. Best thing I did at first was connect a raspberry pi zero w with octoprint installed on it. Send the print job to the web interface of octoprint and forget about it. And when you want to check the status, pull up the webpage. No more swapping micro sdcards. I could never go back to sdcard swapping. Actually ruined one of my front usb ports because of that. And I doubt I'll ever go back to Marlin. I'm not compiling ever again. SBCs are a dime a dozen and can run klipper without issue.
Glad to see you're enjoying 3d printing
