Find the best slicing software for your Monoprice Maker Ultimate 2 3D printer.
Compatible Slicers for Monoprice Maker Ultimate 2
At SimplyPrint we support the following 6 slicers. But, that does not mean that no other slicers are compatible with this the Monoprice Maker Ultimate 2. We are working on adding support for more slicers for our online cloud-based slicer.
No Recommended Slicers Found: To our knowledge, none of the slicers we currently track have built-in default profiles for the Monoprice Maker Ultimate 2.
However, the printer can probably still be used with these slicers—you'll just need to create your own custom profiles, for example by basing them on profiles from a similar printer model. It's also possible that this printer works best with another slicer—perhaps one made by Monoprice—that we're not tracking on our website yet.
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.

Other Compatible Slicers
Note: Many other excellent slicing software options exist, including Cura, Simplify3D, ideaMaker, KISSlicer, and others. While we don't currently track profiles for these slicers in our database, they may work perfectly with your Monoprice Maker Ultimate 2. Check each slicer's official documentation or community forums for compatible profiles and settings. You can also contribute profiles to our open-source slicer profile database on GitHub.
What filament can the Monoprice Maker Ultimate 2 print?
A guide to the materials the Monoprice Maker Ultimate 2 can handle, based on its hotend, heated bed specs.
| 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) | 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. |
