What slicer to use for the Positron 3D Positron LT

None of the slicers in SimplyPrint's cloud has a ready-made profile for the Positron 3D Positron LT, 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 Positron 3D Positron LT

We only list slicers you can use in the SimplyPrint cloud, so there may be others for the Positron 3D Positron LT.

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 Positron 3D Positron LT: 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 Positron 3D Positron LT

Positron 3D doesn't make an app for the Positron 3D Positron LT. SimplyPrint works as its 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 Frankfurt, Germany, under the GDPR.

What filament can the Positron 3D Positron LT print?

Filament compatibility for the Positron 3D Positron LT: 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 With care Possible, but a Bowden extruder makes flexibles harder - print slowly and prefer firmer (higher-shore) TPU.
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.

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 Positron 3D Positron LT compatible with SimplyPrint?

Most likely. We expect the Positron 3D Positron LT to connect to SimplyPrint via Klipper (Moonraker), but nobody has confirmed it yet. If you have one, the setup guide shows within minutes whether it works, and your answer confirms it for everyone.

How do I connect the Positron 3D Positron LT to SimplyPrint?

Follow our step-by-step setup guide for the Positron 3D Positron LT. It shows how to connect it via Klipper (Moonraker), what you need for each, and which to pick.

What slicer should I use for the Positron 3D Positron LT?

Cura, PrusaSlicer and OrcaSlicer all work with the Positron 3D Positron LT, 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 Positron 3D Positron LT?

Yes, but OrcaSlicer has no built-in profile for the Positron 3D Positron LT 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 Positron 3D Positron LT print?

Based on its specs (hotend up to 250C, heated bed up to 100C), the Positron 3D Positron LT handles PLA or PETG well. See the full filament guide above for ABS, nylon, PC and composites.

Does the Positron 3D Positron LT work with OctoPrint or Klipper?

The Positron 3D Positron LT works with Klipper (Mainsail and Fluidd), and SimplyPrint connects to it through them - so you get cloud access, a queue and camera monitoring on top.

What is the Positron 3D Positron LT's bed size and build volume?

The Positron 3D Positron LT has a 180 x 180 mm print bed and prints up to 180 mm tall, a build volume of about 180 x 180 x 180 mm. See the full specifications table above for bed type, temperatures and more.

When did the Positron 3D Positron LT come out?

Positron 3D launched the Positron LT in December 2022.

Can the Positron 3D Positron LT 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.
