Connect the MINGDA AD-F4 Pro to SimplyPrint
Does the MINGDA AD-F4 Pro 3D printer work with SimplyPrint, OctoPrint, Mainsail and Fluidd? Each way of connecting it, what it needs, and how to set it up.
-
Klipper (Moonraker)
Compatible
Ships MINGDA's Klipper fork with KlipperScreen and Moonraker (MINGDA keeps a Moonraker fork on GitHub); the manual sends jobs over the LAN with OrcaSlicer's Octo/Klipper host type. No Mainsail/Fluidd or SSH access is documented. Source
What you need: Nothing extra: the printer runs Klipper as it ships
-
OctoPrint
Directly, over USB
Not compatible
Ships Klipper; OctoPrint only runs on top of it. Source
- Ships with Klipper: OctoPrint only runs on top of it, through the OctoKlipper plugin
What works with SimplyPrint
Connected through Klipper (Moonraker), SimplyPrint supports most of what it offers on the MINGDA AD-F4 Pro: 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 MINGDA AD-F4 Pro
None of the slicers in SimplyPrint's cloud has a ready-made profile for the MINGDA AD-F4 Pro, 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 MINGDA AD-F4 Pro
We only list slicers you can use in the SimplyPrint cloud, so there may be others for the MINGDA AD-F4 Pro.
Cloud-Based Slicer for MINGDA AD-F4 Pro

Try Online Slicer NowProfiles 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 MINGDA AD-F4 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.

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.

- A European cloud: hosted in Frankfurt, Germany, under the GDPR.
Automate the MINGDA AD-F4 Pro
There's no plate swapper or auto-ejection kit for the MINGDA AD-F4 Pro in SimplyPrint yet, but AutoPrint can still keep it printing: once the plate is clear, it starts the next job from your queue.
Ways to automate it
- Your own ejection G-code Write the routine that clears your plate, and AutoPrint runs it after every print.
- A robot arm, or anything with an 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 AutoPrint waits for you to mark the plate clear, then starts the next job.
AutoPrint comes with the Pro plan and up.

What filament can the MINGDA AD-F4 Pro print?
Filament compatibility for the MINGDA AD-F4 Pro: 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 | 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. |
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.
