Does the Kingroon KP5L Pro 3D printer work with SimplyPrint, OctoPrint, Mainsail and Fluidd?
Each way of connecting it, what it needs, and how to set it up.
Ships a 32-bit Marlin-style board; Klipper only after you install it (Kingroon publishes a Klipper guide for the KP5L line).

Doesn't ship with Klipper: it runs Klipper after you install it in place of its own firmware, a modification
What works with SimplyPrint
Connected through OctoPrint, SimplyPrint is expected to support everything the Kingroon KP5L Pro lets other software do: the camera and AI failure detection, remote printing, temperature and movement control and AutoPrint. 3 features depend on how it's set up: the table says what each needs.

What slicer to use for the Kingroon KP5L Pro
None of the slicers in SimplyPrint's cloud has a ready-made profile for the Kingroon KP5L Pro, 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 Kingroon KP5L Pro.
Cloud-Based Slicer for Kingroon KP5L Pro
All supported slicers - directly in your browser with SimplyPrint's online cloud slicer. No installation required. Slice your Kingroon KP5L Pro models from any device, anywhere in the world!
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 Kingroon KP5L Pro: 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 Kingroon KP5L Pro
SimplyPrint works as the Kingroon KP5L Pro's app: on your phone and in any browser, with a slicer in the cloud.
There's no plate swapper or auto-ejection kit for the Kingroon KP5L Pro in SimplyPrint yet, but AutoPrint can still keep it printing: once the plate is clear, it starts the next job from your queue.
Bed slingers are the easiest to automate
The Kingroon KP5L Pro moves its bed back and forth, so its plate comes out to the front of the printer. That's what plate swappers like these use: they take the finished plate off and slide a fresh one on. Without a kit, a G-code routine can push cooled prints off with the toolhead.

With care
Possible with care - an enclosure and very dry filament are essential.
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.

Kingroon is a Chinese company founded in 2016, with a Hong Kong address and a factory park in Huizhou, that made small, low-cost printers such as the KP3S bed slingers and the KLP1 CoreXY, the newer ones with Klipper installed. By October 2026 its shop lists its last printers only as sold-out clearance stock, and the company describes itself as a filament and resin maker.

Klipper and standard parts make the printers easy to work on, but Kingroon now lists them only as sold-out clearance stock and some spare parts are out of stock.
Firmware and custom firmware ●●●●●
The KP3S Pro V2 and KLP1 ship with open-source Klipper on Kingroon's own all-in-one board. We found no Kingroon source repository; upstream Klipper carries a config only for the original KP3S.
[3][8]
Local control and integrations ●●●●●
The KP3S Pro V2 and KLP1 have Klipper on the mainboard with built-in Wi-Fi and print over the web or from a USB drive, with no Raspberry Pi needed. Kingroon's guides use Fluidd or Mainsail in a browser on the local network, so other software can use Moonraker's documented API. We found no Kingroon printer cloud or account; its guide points to the third-party Obico for remote access.
[3][6][10]
Third-party filament, slicers and parts ●●●●●
Standard parts throughout: MK8 and E3D V5/V6 nozzles and heater blocks, a Titan-style extruder, GT2 belts and 5015 fans. Any filament works, and OrcaSlicer ships profiles for the KLP1 and the KP3S family.
[5][9]
Repairs and spare parts ●●●●●
Kingroon still lists about 20 KP3S-family parts, including the mainboard, extruder and Y-axis rail, but several (the mainboard and rail among them) were out of stock in October 2026, and the printers themselves are discontinued.
[5]
Pros
Klipper on small, cheap printers, controllable from a browser.
Standard, widely available parts (V6-type nozzles, GT2 belts, Titan-style extruder).
OrcaSlicer profiles for the KLP1 and KP3S models.
Cons
Printers discontinued: Kingroon's shop lists them only as sold-out clearance stock (October 2026).
Some spare parts out of stock, including the KP3S mainboard and Y-axis rail (October 2026).
No published firmware source found for the Klipper models.
Track record
October 2026: In October 2026 Kingroon's shop listed its remaining printers (KLP1, KP3S Pro V2, KP3S 3.0, KP5L) only as clearance items, all sold out, and its About page described the company as a maker of filaments and resins; KP3S spare parts were still listed, some out of stock.
[2][1][5]
2023: Kingroon began selling the KP3S Pro V2 and the KLP1 CoreXY with Klipper installed on an all-in-one board, so no Raspberry Pi was needed.

Can I use OrcaSlicer with the Kingroon KP5L Pro?
Yes, but OrcaSlicer has no built-in profile for the Kingroon KP5L Pro 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 Kingroon KP5L Pro print?
Kingroon lists PLA, PETG, TPU & flexibles and ABS & ASA for the KP5L Pro.
Does the Kingroon KP5L Pro work with OctoPrint or Klipper?
