## Connect the Tiertime X5 to SimplyPrint

| Way of connecting | Status | What you need | Notes |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| SimplyPrint | Not expected to work |  |  |
| OctoPrint (Directly, over USB) | 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](https://github.com/MaikStohn/UP3D)) |
| Klipper (Moonraker) | Not compatible |  | Closed Tiertime firmware; no Klipper. ([Source](https://www.tiertime.com/x5/)) |

## 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. |
