The F370 adds a larger tray, four material bays and PC-ABS, ESD and Diran materials; the F190CR adds carbon-fibre nylon. ### Pros - Soluble support material, so complex and interlocking parts need no hands-on support removal. - Prints PLA, ABS-M30, ASA, carbon-fibre ABS-CF10 and TPU 92A elastomer. - Quiet for an industrial machine: 46 dB while building. - Wired Ethernet and Wi-Fi, with GrabCAD Print for preparing and queueing jobs. ### Cons - Not supported by SimplyPrint yet: support could be built on GrabCAD's SDK. - Runs Stratasys's closed controller with GrabCAD Print, so there is no OctoPrint or Klipper route. - Prints only Stratasys's own material spools. - One model and one support bay, so no automatic changeover to a second spool. ### Who it suits - Schools: Good fit. Enclosed, quiet and GREENGUARD certified with ABS, ASA and QSR support; Stratasys aims it at schools too. - Hobbyists: Not a good fit. An industrial machine with proprietary materials and a price to match. - Businesses: Great fit. Reliable, repeatable prototypes and tooling with soluble support. - Print farms: Can work. GrabCAD Print queues jobs across Stratasys printers, but SimplyPrint cannot manage it today. ## The Stratasys F123 series - **Stratasys F170**: Launched February 2017 - [Stratasys F370](https://simplyprint.io/compatibility/stratasys-f370): Launched February 2017 - [Stratasys F190CR](https://simplyprint.io/compatibility/stratasys-f190cr): Launched May 4, 2022 - [Stratasys F370CR](https://simplyprint.io/compatibility/stratasys-f370cr): Launched May 4, 2022 ## Printers like the Stratasys F170 that work with SimplyPrint - [Bambu Lab P2S Combo](https://simplyprint.io/compatibility/bambu-lab-p2s-combo): Verified by SimplyPrint, 256 x 256 x 256 mm, Similar build volume · Also prints ABS & ASA, Carbon-fiber & glass-filled - [Bambu Lab X2D Combo](https://simplyprint.io/compatibility/bambu-lab-x2d-combo): Verified by SimplyPrint, 256 x 256 x 260 mm, Similar build volume · Also prints ABS & ASA, Carbon-fiber & glass-filled - [Flashforge Creator 5 Pro](https://simplyprint.io/compatibility/flashforge-creator-5-pro): Compatible, 256 x 256 x 256 mm, Similar build volume · Also prints ABS & ASA, Carbon-fiber & glass-filled - [Bambu Lab P2S FarmLoop Combo](https://simplyprint.io/compatibility/bambu-lab-p2s-farmloop-combo): Verified by SimplyPrint, 256 x 256 x 256 mm, Similar build volume · Also prints ABS & ASA, Carbon-fiber & glass-filled ## Frequently asked questions ### Is the Stratasys F170 compatible with SimplyPrint?
