## Connect the SnakeOil-XY SnakeOil-XY to SimplyPrint

| Way of connecting | Status | What you need | Notes |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| SimplyPrint | Compatible |  | Through Klipper (Moonraker) |
| Klipper (Moonraker) | Compatible | Nothing extra: the printer runs Klipper as it ships | DIY open-source design; Klipper is its primary firmware (Klipper macros, its own extended-CoreXY Klipper kinematic). The builder picks the board and may run Marlin or RRF instead. ([Source](https://github.com/SnakeOilXY/SnakeOil-XY)) |
| OctoPrint (Directly, over USB) | Not confirmed yet - help us find out |  | Depends on the builder's firmware: a Marlin build would print over USB, a Klipper build would not. ([Source](https://github.com/SnakeOilXY/SnakeOil-XY/blob/main/Firmware/README.md)) |

## Automate the SnakeOil-XY SnakeOil-XY

### 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 SnakeOil-XY SnakeOil-XY print?

Filament compatibility for the SnakeOil-XY SnakeOil-XY: 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) | With care | On the edge - PC really wants an enclosed, hot chamber to avoid warping. |
| 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. |
