    What you need: A Raspberry Pi running OctoPrint, plugged into the printer with a USB cable

  • Mainsail Fluidd

    Klipper (Moonraker)

    Not compatible

    Ships Weedo's Marlin-based firmware, like the Tina2. Klipper only if you install it yourself. Source

    • 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 Monoprice MP Cadet 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 Monoprice MP Cadet

None of the slicers in SimplyPrint's cloud has a ready-made profile for the Monoprice MP Cadet, 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 Monoprice MP Cadet

We only list slicers you can use in the SimplyPrint cloud, so there may be others for the Monoprice MP Cadet.

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 Monoprice MP Cadet: 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.
  • Printers from many brands in one place, side by side.
  • A European cloud: hosted in Frankfurt, Germany, under the GDPR.

Automate the Monoprice MP Cadet

There's no plate swapper or auto-ejection kit for the Monoprice MP Cadet 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

AutoPrint comes with the Pro plan and up.

What filament can the Monoprice MP Cadet print?

Filament compatibility for the Monoprice MP Cadet: 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 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.

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.
