What works with SimplyPrint
Connected through Klipper (Moonraker), SimplyPrint supports most of what it offers on the Afinia H: the camera and AI failure detection, remote printing, skipping objects, temperature and movement control and AutoPrint. Not yet in SimplyPrint through Klipper (Moonraker): download the file before the print starts. Not available through Klipper (Moonraker): print binary G-code (.bgcode).

What slicer to use for the Afinia H
None of the slicers in SimplyPrint's cloud has a ready-made profile for the Afinia H, but it takes standard G-code: start from a similar printer's profile and set the bed size, height and nozzle to match.
No profile for the Afinia H
We only list slicers you can use in the SimplyPrint cloud, so there may be others for the Afinia H.
Cloud-Based Slicer for Afinia H
All supported slicers - directly in your browser with SimplyPrint's online cloud slicer. No installation required. Slice your Afinia H models from any device, anywhere in the world!
Try Online Slicer NowProfiles and other slicers
Automatic Profile Updates: Profiles are automatically checked and fetched from the slicer GitHub repositories every day, as well as from our own open-source community-driven slicer profile database. This ensures you always have access to the latest profiles.
Note: Other slicers, such as Simplify3D, ideaMaker, SuperSlicer and KISSlicer, aren't in our cloud, so we don't track their profiles. They may still work well with your Afinia H: check the slicer's own documentation or forums for a profile. You can also contribute profiles to our open-source slicer profile database on GitHub.
The app for the Afinia H
SimplyPrint works as the Afinia H's app: on your phone and in any browser, with a slicer in the cloud.
What you get with SimplyPrint
- An app for iPhone and Android, the same in any browser, and a slicer in the cloud.
- More than monitoring: a print queue, AI failure detection, AutoPrint and accounts for a team.
- Printers from many brands in one place, side by side.
- A European cloud: hosted in Frankfurt, Germany, under the GDPR.
Automate the Afinia H
There's no plate swapper or auto-ejection kit for the Afinia H in SimplyPrint yet, but AutoPrint can still keep it printing: once the plate is clear, it starts the next job from your queue.
Ways to automate it
- Your own ejection G-code Write the routine that clears your plate, and AutoPrint runs it after every print.
- A robot arm, or anything with an API Tell SimplyPrint the plate is clear through the API or a webhook, from a robot arm or your own system.
- Clear it by hand, keep the queue AutoPrint waits for you to mark the plate clear, then starts the next job.
AutoPrint comes with the Pro plan and up.

What filament can the Afinia H print?
Filament compatibility for the Afinia H: the materials it can handle, judged from its hotend, bed, chamber and enclosure.
| Filament | Suitability | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| PLA | Great | The easiest filament to print. Works on almost any printer; a heated bed helps adhesion but is not required. |
| PETG | Great | Comfortably in range (PETG likes a ~230-250C hotend and a ~70-85C bed). |
| TPU & flexibles | With care | Possible, but a Bowden extruder makes flexibles harder - print slowly and prefer firmer (higher-shore) TPU. |
| ABS & ASA | With care | The bed is hot enough, but ABS and ASA warp without an enclosure, which is strongly recommended for clean prints. |
| Nylon (PA) | With care | Possible with care - an enclosure and very dry filament are essential. |
| Polycarbonate (PC) | With care | On the edge - PC really wants an enclosed, hot chamber to avoid warping. |
| Carbon-fiber & glass-filled | With care | Possible if you fit a hardened or wear-resistant nozzle - the abrasive fibers quickly wear a stock brass nozzle. |
Tip: this is a general guide from the printer's specs - always check your filament's recommended settings. With SimplyPrint you can save a profile for each spool and track exactly what filament you have in stock.

Is the Afinia H compatible with SimplyPrint?
Yes. You can connect the Afinia H to SimplyPrint via Klipper (Moonraker) or OctoPrint, then slice, queue, start and monitor prints from your browser or the mobile app.
How do I connect the Afinia H to SimplyPrint?
Follow our step-by-step setup guide for the Afinia H. It shows how to connect it via Klipper (Moonraker) or OctoPrint, what you need for each, and which to pick.
What slicer should I use for the Afinia H?
Cura, PrusaSlicer and OrcaSlicer all work with the Afinia H, and you can run any of them in SimplyPrint's online browser slicer - no install needed, on any device.
Can I use OrcaSlicer with the Afinia H?
Yes, but OrcaSlicer has no built-in profile for the Afinia H that we know of: start from a similar printer's profile and set the bed size, height and nozzle to match.
What filament can the Afinia H print?
Based on its specs (hotend up to 280C, heated bed up to 100C), the Afinia H handles PLA or PETG well. See the full filament guide above for ABS, nylon, PC and composites.
Does the Afinia H work with OctoPrint or Klipper?
The Afinia H works with OctoPrint or Klipper (Mainsail and Fluidd), and SimplyPrint connects to it through them - so you get cloud access, a queue and camera monitoring on top.
What is the Afinia H's bed size and build volume?
The Afinia H has a 255 x 225 mm print bed and prints up to 205 mm tall, a build volume of about 255 x 225 x 205 mm. See the full specifications table above for bed type, temperatures and more.
Can the Afinia H eject prints automatically?
There's no kit for it that we support yet, but SimplyPrint's AutoPrint can run your own ejection G-code, work with a robot arm through the API, or wait for you to clear the plate, and then start the next job from your queue.
