## Connect the Stratasys F900 to SimplyPrint

| Way of connecting | Status | What you need | Notes |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| The maker's cloud | Possible, not built yet |  | Prints through Stratasys's GrabCAD Print, and GrabCAD's SDK gives software vendors APIs to connect Stratasys FDM printers to their systems. SimplyPrint could build support on it, but it isn't built yet. ([Source](https://investors.stratasys.com/news-events/press-releases/detail/719/stratasys-brings-enterprise-software-connectivity-to-3d)) |
| SimplyPrint Client | Not compatible |  | Runs Stratasys's closed controller and takes jobs only through Stratasys's own software, such as GrabCAD Print. ([Source](https://www.stratasys.com/siteassets/3d-printers/printer-catalog/fdm-printers/f900-printer/br_fdm_f900_0526a.pdf)) |
| Klipper (Moonraker) | Not compatible |  | Runs Stratasys's closed controller and prints from Stratasys's own software; no Klipper or Moonraker is documented. ([Source](https://www.stratasys.com/siteassets/3d-printers/printer-catalog/fdm-printers/f900-printer/br_fdm_f900_0526a.pdf)) |
| OctoPrint (Directly, over USB) | Not compatible |  | Runs Stratasys's closed controller and takes jobs only through Stratasys's own software, such as GrabCAD Print; no OctoPrint or serial control is documented.

## What filament can the Stratasys F900 print?

Filament compatibility for the Stratasys F900: the materials Stratasys lists for it.

| 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 | With care | Marginal - PETG prefers a hotter bed (~70-80C) than this printer reaches. |
| TPU & flexibles | With care | Possible, but a Bowden extruder makes flexibles harder - print slowly and prefer firmer (higher-shore) TPU. |
| ABS & ASA | Great | On the maker's list of materials for this printer. |
| Nylon (PA) | Great | On the maker's list of materials for this printer. |
| Polycarbonate (PC) | Great | On the maker's list of materials for this printer. |
| Carbon-fiber & glass-filled | Great | On the maker's list of materials for this printer. |
| High-temperature (PEI, PEEK, PEKK) | Great | On the maker's list of materials for this printer. |

## When to choose the Stratasys F900

Choose it for the biggest parts in high-performance materials, or where certified production matters. The F3300 prints faster in a smaller chamber; the Fortus 450mc covers most of the same materials in a 406 x 355 x 406 mm envelope.

### Pros

- 914 x 610 x 914 mm: Stratasys's largest FDM build chamber.
- Prints ULTEM 1010 and 9085, PPSF, Antero PEKK, nylons, PC, ASA and ABS.
- +/- 0.089 mm accuracy, with an optional FDC cabinet for longer unattended runs.
- Secure connectivity options, including STIG compliance for US government use.

### Cons

- Not supported by SimplyPrint yet: support could be built on GrabCAD's SDK.
- Runs Stratasys's closed controller with its own software, so there is no OctoPrint or Klipper route.
- Materials beyond Stratasys's own need the separately licensed OpenAM software.
- Weighs 2,869 kg and needs three-phase power.

### Who it suits

- Schools: Not a good fit. A 2.9-tonne production machine.
- Hobbyists: Not a good fit. Built for industrial production.
- Businesses: Great fit. Large, certified production parts in high-performance thermoplastics.
- Print farms: Can work. GrabCAD Print queues jobs across Stratasys printers, but SimplyPrint cannot manage it today.
