We can't tell
These answers don't settle it
Your printer isn't on our list yet, so this is as far as these questions go for now. Most printers fit one of the ways below, and the first steps of each setup guide soon tell you whether yours does.
How Anycubic printers connect
- Newer network printers, through the SimplyPrint Client, like the Kobra S1, Kobra X, Kobra 3. Setup guide
- Printers with a USB port, through OctoPrint, like the Kobra 2 Neo, Vyper, i3 Mega S. Setup guide
Or connect it through an add-on
These small screens sit next to a printer with a USB port and run Klipper on it, and SimplyPrint connects to them. A printer they work with usually runs Marlin, so it connects through OctoPrint too.

SimplyPrint currently works with FDM 3D printers only
That's the kind that melts plastic filament. Resin (SLA, MSLA, DLP), powder (SLS) and metal printers, CNC machines and laser cutters can't be connected or sliced for, so you won't find them on our list. You can still log their jobs, material and cost as a virtual machine.
Questions owners of an unlisted printer ask
Can I still use it with SimplyPrint?
Most likely. If it sets up the same way as another printer on our list, it can be added to SimplyPrint: when you add it, pick another printer on our list, or pick Any Generic Printer (Generic Cartesian or Generic Delta) and type in your printer's name.
What happens if I pick another printer model in SimplyPrint?
Mostly nothing: printing, the camera, the print queue and the rest work the same. The one difference is the cloud slicer. For a printer that isn't on our list, we haven't imported its slicer profiles, where they exist, for the slicer engines we support, so you slice with the other model's profile or your own settings.
How do I tell you it works?
Once it's connected as its own model, its page in SimplyPrint asks a few quick questions about how it works. If it isn't on our list yet, add it as Any Generic Printer and type in its name: we email you when it's listed, and once you switch the printer to that model, its page asks too.
When will you add my printer to the list?
If it works and owners tell us how well, we can often add it within a few days, with a little help from the community. Once it's on the list, you can switch your printer to it in SimplyPrint without setting it up again.
My printer is a Combo, or has a mod. Which model do I pick?
Its regular model. A Combo is the printer with its multi-material unit, which you add in the printer's settings, and a mod like auto-ejection or a plate swapper is set up in the printer's AutoPrint settings. They don't need a model of their own, so we only list some of them.
Can I connect a resin printer, a CNC machine or a laser cutter?
No. SimplyPrint currently works with FDM 3D printers only, the kind that melts plastic filament. Resin (SLA, MSLA, DLP), powder (SLS) and metal printers, CNC machines and laser cutters can't be connected or sliced for, but you can log their jobs, material and cost as a virtual machine.
Why isn't it on the list already?
There are 850+ printers on our list, and new ones come out every month. We're a small team and can't buy and test every one, so we rely on owners like you, and on manufacturers who share their new models with us before launch. We'd love it if more of them did.
