Profiles 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 Easythreed K8 Plus: 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.

What filament can the Easythreed K8 Plus print?

Filament compatibility for the Easythreed K8 Plus: 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 Good Printable - aim for a bed around 70-80C for the best adhesion.
TPU & flexibles Great The direct-drive extruder feeds flexible filament well. Print slowly for clean results.
ABS & ASA Not ideal Not recommended - the bed cannot reach the ~90-110C ABS and ASA need.
Nylon (PA) Not ideal Not recommended - nylon needs a hotter hotend (~250-270C) and ideally an enclosure.
Polycarbonate (PC) Not ideal Not recommended - PC needs very high hotend temps and an enclosed chamber.
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.
