Connect the Tiertime X5 to SimplyPrint

Does the Tiertime X5 3D printer work with SimplyPrint, OctoPrint, Mainsail and Fluidd? Each way of connecting it, what it needs, and how to set it up.

    Not expected to work

    UP printers take Tiertime's own 'UP machine code' over USB from UP Studio, not G-code over serial; a community tool converts G-code to it, not a live serial link. Source

No known way to connect it to SimplyPrint

Unfortunately, the Tiertime X5 is currently not, to our knowledge, compatible with OctoPrint, Mainsail, Fluidd, or SimplyPrint. For the best 3D printing experience, consider other 3D printers that are compatible with these softwares.

How we determine compatibility

We consider a printer compatible if it works with one or more of the following:

  • SimplyPrint custom integration for this specific model
  • OctoPrint support (requires the printer to support serial printing)
  • Klipper support (printer can run Klipper, either by flashing compatible firmware or using an external controller/pad)

OctoPrint compatibility is primarily based on whether the printer supports serial communication. If serial printing is not supported, we mark OctoPrint as not compatible.

Note: Some printers have third-party OctoPrint plugins that enable unofficial/custom connections. We don’t maintain a list of these plugins, so they are not reflected in our compatibility data.

What filament can the Tiertime X5 print?

Filament compatibility for the Tiertime X5: the materials Tiertime lists for it.

Filament Suitability Notes
PLA Great On the maker's list of materials for this printer.
PETG Great Comfortably in range (PETG likes a ~230-250C hotend and a ~70-85C bed).
TPU & flexibles Great On the maker's list of materials for this printer.
ABS & ASA Great On the maker's list of materials for this printer.
Nylon (PA) Good Doable with care - dry the filament thoroughly, and an enclosure helps a lot.
Polycarbonate (PC) Good In range for PC. Dry the filament, print slowly, and use an enclosure for the best results.
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.

Tip: this is a general guide from the printer's specs - always check your filament's recommended settings. With SimplyPrint you can save a profile for each spool and track exactly what filament you have in stock.
