## Connect the Positron 3D Positron LT to SimplyPrint

| Way of connecting | Status | What you need | Notes |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| SimplyPrint | Expected to work |  | Through Klipper (Moonraker) |
| Klipper (Moonraker) | Expected to work | Nothing extra: the printer runs Klipper as it ships | Same electronics as the Positron V3 (BTT SKR Pico with a Raspberry Pi Zero 2W host), which runs Klipper; the LT's BOM points at a Klipper/Moonraker/Fluidd image, but its repo ships no config. ([Source](https://github.com/Audiotronix/Positron_LT/blob/main/Parts/README.md)); Expected to work like the Positron 3D Positron V3 |
| OctoPrint (Directly, over USB) | Not expected to work |  | Built as a Klipper printer like the Positron V3; OctoPrint would only run on top of Klipper. ([Source](https://github.com/Audiotronix/Positron_LT/blob/main/Parts/README.md)); Ships with Klipper: OctoPrint only runs on top of it, through the OctoKlipper plugin |

### What works with SimplyPrint

Connected through Klipper (Moonraker), SimplyPrint is expected to support most of what it offers on the Positron 3D Positron LT: 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 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.

## 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.

- 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.
- Hosted in Frankfurt, Germany, under the GDPR.

## Automate the Positron 3D Positron LT

### Ways to automate it

- [Your own ejection G-code](https://simplyprint.io/features/autoprint/custom): Write the routine that clears your plate, and AutoPrint runs it after every print.
- [A robot arm, or anything with an API](https://simplyprint.io/features/autoprint/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](https://simplyprint.io/features/autoprint/manual-mode): AutoPrint waits for you to mark the plate clear, then starts the next job.

[How AutoPrint works](https://simplyprint.io/features/autoprint). AutoPrint comes with the Pro plan and up.

## 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. |

## 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.
