Filament compatibility for the Geeetech E180: the materials Geeetech lists for it. | Filament | Suitability | Notes | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | PLA | Great | On the maker's list of materials for this printer. | | PETG | With care | Marginal - PETG prefers a hotter bed (~70-80C) than this printer reaches. | | TPU & flexibles | With care | Possible, but a Bowden extruder makes flexibles harder - print slowly and prefer firmer (higher-shore) TPU. | | 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. | ## Printers like the Geeetech E180 that work with SimplyPrint - [Monoprice MP Mini Select](https://simplyprint.io/compatibility/monoprice-mp-mini-select): Compatible, 120 x 120 x 120 mm, Similar build volume - [Monoprice Delta Mini V2](https://simplyprint.io/compatibility/monoprice-delta-mini-v2): Compatible, 110 x 110 x 120 mm, Similar build volume - [PrimaCreator P120](https://simplyprint.io/compatibility/primacreator-p120): Compatible, 120 x 120 x 120 mm, Similar build volume - [Monoprice Select Mini Pro](https://simplyprint.io/compatibility/monoprice-select-mini-pro): Compatible, 120 x 120 x 120 mm, Similar build volume ## About Geeetech Geeetech (HK GETECH Co., Limited, with its office at Shenzhen Getech Technology) is a Chinese 3D printer and filament maker that says it has worked on 3D printers since 2011. It made a long line of budget printers, from Prusa i3 kits through the A10/A20/A30, Mizar and Thunder series, and now sells the compact M1 and M1S for children and beginners alongside a large filament range. - Founded: 2011 - Headquarters: Shenzhen, China (company registered in Hong Kong) - Ownership: HK GETECH Co., Limited; China office Shenzhen Getech Technology Co., Ltd - Website: https://www.geeetech.com Openness: Mostly open (3.6 of 5) Mostly open, with a caveat: the older printers came with published Marlin source and schematics, while the current M1 line has closed firmware but still runs locally with any filament and open slicers. - Firmware and custom firmware (3 of 5): Geeetech published Marlin-based firmware source and board schematics for its earlier printers on GitHub (Geeetech3D) and its download centre, including open-source files for the Mizar S updated until 2024. For the current M1 and M1S it offers firmware binaries only; we found no source. - Local control and integrations (4 of 5): The M1 Mini prints from a TF card or over USB with no account. The M1S adds Wi-Fi and the Geeetech app for printing from its model library 'anywhere', a remote feature that runs through Geeetech's app. Geeetech documents no network interface for other software, and for these models it offers only firmware binaries. - Third-party filament, slicers and parts (4 of 5): Any 1.75 mm filament (PLA and TPU on the M1), and Geeetech publishes Cura and OrcaSlicer profiles for it. Nozzles and hot-end parts for the M1 are Geeetech's own, sold in its store. - Repairs and spare parts (4 of 5): Geeetech sells M1 parts (hotbed, nozzles, hot-end components, PEI plate) and posts videos on replacing the nozzle and the motherboard; schematics for older boards are published. - Community and documentation (3 of 5): A long-running wiki, a download centre with manuals, firmware, profiles and videos per model, and GitHub repositories. Independent coverage of the current M1 line is scarce. ### Pros - Inexpensive compact printers aimed at children and beginners. - Any 1.75 mm filament, with Cura and OrcaSlicer profiles published. - Spare nozzles, hotbeds and hot-end parts for the M1, plus repair videos. - Downloads (manuals, firmware) kept online for printers going back many years. ### Cons - No published firmware source for the current M1 and M1S. - The M1S's remote printing runs through Geeetech's phone app; we found no privacy terms covering the app. - Small 100 x 110 x 100 mm build volume on the M1. - Little independent testing of the current models that we could find. ### Track record - November 2025: Geeetech added the M1S, an M1 with Wi-Fi and a phone app; its app was posted in September 2025 and its quick guide in November 2025. - February 2025: Geeetech released the M1 mini printer for children and beginners; its first setup and maintenance videos were posted in February 2025 and its manual in March 2025. - October 2022: Geeetech published open-source files for the Mizar S on GitHub, updated until March 2024; files for the Mizar and Mizar Pro followed in November 2022.
