## Connect the FrankenVoron Tridex to SimplyPrint

| Way of connecting | Status | What you need | Notes |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| SimplyPrint | Expected to work |  | Through Klipper (Moonraker) |
| Klipper (Moonraker) | Expected to work | Nothing extra: the printer runs Klipper as it ships | DIY build whose firmware is Klipper (README: not your first Klipper printer; IDEX via Klipper). The builder installs Klipper and Moonraker as on any Voron, like the Trident. ([Source](https://github.com/FrankenVoron/Tridex)); Expected to work like the Voron Voron Trident |
| OctoPrint (Directly, over USB) | Not compatible |  | A Klipper design; OctoPrint only on top of Klipper. ([Source](https://github.com/FrankenVoron/Tridex)); Ships with Klipper: OctoPrint only runs on top of it, through the OctoKlipper plugin |

### What works with SimplyPrint

Connected through Klipper (Moonraker), SimplyPrint is expected to support most of what it offers on the FrankenVoron Tridex: 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.

## What slicer to use for the FrankenVoron Tridex

None of the slicers in SimplyPrint's cloud has a ready-made profile for the FrankenVoron Tridex, but it takes standard G-code: start from a similar printer's profile and set the bed size, height and nozzle to match.

We only list slicers you can use in the SimplyPrint cloud, so there may be others for the FrankenVoron Tridex.

## The app for the FrankenVoron Tridex

SimplyPrint works as the FrankenVoron Tridex's app: on your phone and in any browser, with a slicer in the cloud.

- 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.
- Hosted in Frankfurt, Germany, under the GDPR.

## Automate the FrankenVoron Tridex

**Enclosed printers push their prints out.** The FrankenVoron Tridex's bed only moves up and down inside its enclosure, so instead of swapping plates, a push-off routine lets the toolhead push the cooled print off the plate and out through its front door, which has to be open while it runs. Some printers won't print with the door open (the Prusa CORE One has a door sensor), so check yours first.

### Ways to automate it

- [Push prints off with the toolhead](https://simplyprint.io/features/autoprint/push-off): On a CoreXY printer, a G-code routine can push the cooled print off the front of the plate before the next job starts.
- [Your own ejection G-code](https://simplyprint.io/features/autoprint/custom): Write the routine that clears your plate, and AutoPrint runs it after every print.
- [A robot arm, or anything with an API](https://simplyprint.io/features/autoprint/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](https://simplyprint.io/features/autoprint/manual-mode): AutoPrint waits for you to mark the plate clear, then starts the next job.

[How AutoPrint works](https://simplyprint.io/features/autoprint). AutoPrint comes with the Pro plan and up.

## What filament can the FrankenVoron Tridex print?

Filament compatibility for the FrankenVoron Tridex: 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 | Great | Enclosed, with a hot enough hotend and bed: ABS and ASA print well. |
| Nylon (PA) | Good | Doable with care - dry the filament thoroughly, and an enclosure helps a lot. |
| Polycarbonate (PC) | Good | In range for PC. Dry the filament, print slowly, and use an enclosure for the best results. |
| 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. |

### How do I connect the FrankenVoron Tridex to SimplyPrint?

Follow our step-by-step setup guide for the FrankenVoron Tridex. It shows how to connect it via Klipper (Moonraker), what you need for each, and which to pick.

### What slicer should I use for the FrankenVoron Tridex?

Cura, PrusaSlicer and OrcaSlicer all work with the FrankenVoron Tridex, 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 FrankenVoron Tridex?

Yes, but OrcaSlicer has no built-in profile for the FrankenVoron Tridex 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 FrankenVoron Tridex print?

Based on its specs (hotend up to 280C, heated bed up to 120C), the FrankenVoron Tridex handles PLA, PETG, ABS & ASA, or Nylon (PA) well. See the full filament guide above for ABS, nylon, PC and composites.

### Does the FrankenVoron Tridex work with OctoPrint or Klipper?

The FrankenVoron Tridex works with 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 FrankenVoron Tridex's bed size and build volume?

The FrankenVoron Tridex has a 225 x 250 mm print bed and prints up to 250 mm tall, a build volume of about 225 x 250 x 250 mm. See the full specifications table above for bed type, temperatures and more.

### When did the FrankenVoron Tridex come out?

FrankenVoron launched the Tridex in December 2021.

### Can the FrankenVoron Tridex eject prints automatically?

There's no kit for it that we support yet, but SimplyPrint's AutoPrint can push prints off with the toolhead, or run your own ejection G-code, and then start the next job from your queue.
