What slicer to use for the Me3D Me3D 2

None of the slicers in SimplyPrint's cloud has a ready-made profile for the Me3D Me3D 2, but it takes standard G-code: start from a similar printer's profile and set the bed size, height and nozzle to match.

No profile for the Me3D Me3D 2

We only list slicers you can use in the SimplyPrint cloud, so there may be others for the Me3D Me3D 2.

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 Me3D Me3D 2: 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 Me3D Me3D 2

SimplyPrint works as the Me3D Me3D 2's app: on your phone and in any browser, with a slicer in the cloud.

What you get with SimplyPrint

  • 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.
  • A European cloud: hosted in the EU, under the GDPR.

Automate the Me3D Me3D 2

There's no plate swapper or auto-ejection kit for the Me3D Me3D 2 in SimplyPrint yet, but AutoPrint can still keep it printing: once the plate is clear, it starts the next job from your queue.

What filament can the Me3D Me3D 2 print?

Filament compatibility for the Me3D Me3D 2: 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 Great The direct-drive extruder feeds flexible filament well. Print slowly for clean results.
ABS & ASA With care The bed is hot enough, but ABS and ASA warp without an enclosure, which is strongly recommended for clean prints.
Nylon (PA) With care Possible with care - an enclosure and very dry filament are essential.
Polycarbonate (PC) With care On the edge - PC really wants an enclosed, hot chamber to avoid warping.
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.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Me3D Me3D 2 compatible with SimplyPrint?

Yes. You can connect the Me3D Me3D 2 to SimplyPrint via OctoPrint, then slice, queue, start and monitor prints from your browser or the mobile app.

How do I connect the Me3D Me3D 2 to SimplyPrint?

Follow our step-by-step setup guide for the Me3D Me3D 2. It shows how to connect it via OctoPrint, what you need for each, and which to pick.

What slicer should I use for the Me3D Me3D 2?

Cura, PrusaSlicer and OrcaSlicer all work with the Me3D Me3D 2, 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 Me3D Me3D 2?

Yes, but OrcaSlicer has no built-in profile for the Me3D Me3D 2 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 Me3D Me3D 2 print?

Based on its specs (hotend up to 280C, heated bed up to 100C), the Me3D Me3D 2 handles PLA, PETG, or TPU & flexibles well. See the full filament guide above for ABS, nylon, PC and composites.

Does the Me3D Me3D 2 work with OctoPrint or Klipper?

The Me3D Me3D 2 works with OctoPrint, and SimplyPrint connects to it through them - so you get cloud access, a queue and camera monitoring on top.

What is the Me3D Me3D 2's bed size and build volume?

The Me3D Me3D 2 has a 200 x 200 mm print bed and prints up to 180 mm tall, a build volume of about 200 x 200 x 180 mm. See the full specifications table above for bed type, temperatures and more.

Can the Me3D Me3D 2 eject prints automatically?

There's no kit for it that we support yet, but SimplyPrint's AutoPrint can run your own ejection G-code, work with a robot arm through the API, or wait for you to clear the plate, and then start the next job from your queue.
