What Slicer to Use for PrimaCreator P120
Find the best slicing software for your PrimaCreator P120 3D printer.
Compatible Slicers for PrimaCreator P120
At SimplyPrint we support the following 5 slicers. But, that does not mean that no other slicers are compatible with this the PrimaCreator P120. 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 PrimaCreator P120.
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 PrimaCreator—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.
Cloud-Based Slicer for PrimaCreator P120
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 PrimaCreator P120. 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 PrimaCreator P120 print?
A guide to the materials the PrimaCreator P120 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 | 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. |
