Does the Voron Voron Legacy 3D printer work with SimplyPrint, OctoPrint, Mainsail and Fluidd?
Each way of connecting it, what it needs, and how to set it up.
Official Voron design; the project's firmware is a Klipper config (SKR 1.3), run with Moonraker/Mainsail like every Voron. DIY build, so the builder installs it.

What you need: Nothing extra: the printer runs Klipper as it ships
Ships with Klipper: OctoPrint only runs on top of it, through the OctoKlipper plugin
What works with SimplyPrint
Connected through Klipper (Moonraker), SimplyPrint supports most of what it offers on the Voron Voron Legacy: the camera and AI failure detection, remote printing, skipping objects, temperature and movement control, filament mapping for its multi-material unit and AutoPrint.

What slicer to use for the Voron Voron Legacy
None of the slicers in SimplyPrint's cloud has a ready-made profile for the Voron Voron Legacy, but it takes standard G-code: start from a similar printer's profile and set the bed size, height and nozzle to match.
We only list slicers you can use in the SimplyPrint cloud, so there may be others for the Voron Voron Legacy.
Cloud-Based Slicer for Voron Voron Legacy
All supported slicers - directly in your browser with SimplyPrint's online cloud slicer. No installation required. Slice your Voron Voron Legacy models from any device, anywhere in the world!
Automatic Profile Updates: Profiles are automatically checked and fetched from the slicer GitHub repositories every day, as well as from our own open-source community-driven slicer profile database. This ensures you always have access to the latest profiles.
Note: Other slicers, such as Simplify3D, ideaMaker, SuperSlicer and KISSlicer, aren't in our cloud, so we don't track their profiles. They may still work well with your Voron Voron Legacy: check the slicer's own documentation or forums for a profile. You can also contribute profiles to our open-source slicer profile database on GitHub.
The app for the Voron Voron Legacy
Voron doesn't make an app for the Voron Voron Legacy. SimplyPrint works as its app: on your phone and in any browser, with a slicer in the cloud.
There's no plate swapper or auto-ejection kit for the Voron Voron Legacy in SimplyPrint yet, but AutoPrint can still keep it printing: once the plate is clear, it starts the next job from your queue.
CoreXY printers push their prints off
The Voron Voron Legacy's bed only moves up and down, so the usual way to automate it is a G-code routine that lets the toolhead push the cooled print off the front of the plate before the next job starts.

What filament can the Voron Voron Legacy print?
Filament compatibility for the Voron Voron Legacy: 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
Great
The direct-drive extruder feeds flexible filament well. Print slowly for clean results.
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)
Not ideal
Not recommended - PC needs very high hotend temps and an enclosed chamber.
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.

Compare the Voron Voron Legacy with similar printers
Printers from the same maker, of a similar size, printing the same engineering materials or multi-material like it, that you can buy today. Compare up to four side by side, with their specs and how each connects.
Who makes the Voron Voron Legacy, and how open Voron leaves you: whether its printers run without its cloud, take any filament and slicer, and can be repaired. Each area is rated from public sources.

Voron is an open-source 3D printer project, not a company. The Voron Design team publishes complete CoreXY printer designs (CAD, bill of materials, manuals and Klipper configs) on GitHub under the GPLv3; you source the parts and build one yourself, or buy a kit from an independent vendor. Vorons suit people who want to build, understand and modify their own enclosed, fast printer.
Founded:
2015 ·
Ownership:
Open-source project run by the Voron Design team; Voron Design sells no printers, kits come from independent vendors ·
Website:vorondesign.com
Nothing is held back: GPLv3 designs, Klipper firmware and off-the-shelf parts. The trade-off is that you build it, and support it, yourself.
Firmware and custom firmware ●●●●●
Every stock Voron runs Klipper (GPLv3), which builders install themselves following the Voron documentation; the printer configs ship in the GPL-3.0 design repositories.
[3][5]
Local control and integrations ●●●●●
The documented setup runs Klipper on a Raspberry Pi in the printer, controlled through Mainsail or Fluidd (both built on Moonraker) or OctoPrint in a browser on your own network; Moonraker and OctoPrint both document their APIs. There is no Voron cloud or account.
[3][15][16]
Third-party filament, slicers and parts ●●●●●
Any filament and any slicer: OrcaSlicer and Cura ship Voron profiles. The bill of materials uses off-the-shelf parts such as MGN linear rails, Misumi extrusions and common hotends and electronics.
[4][14]
Repairs and spare parts ●●●●●
Every part is either an off-the-shelf component on the published bill of materials and sourcing guide, or a printable part with STL and CAD files on GitHub, so any part can be replaced or remade.
[5][4]
Community and documentation ●●●●●
Large community on Discord, the Voron forum and Reddit, a community mods repository (VoronUsers, over 3,300 GitHub stars) and full public build documentation. Design changes are published as tagged GitHub releases with change notes.
[2][13][8]
Pros
Fully open designs under the GPLv3: CAD, bill of materials and manuals on GitHub.
Runs Klipper on your own network; no cloud, account or lock-in.
Every part can be bought from many suppliers or printed.
Large, active community and a big library of mods.
Cons
You build it yourself, which takes many hours and some skill; the result depends on the builder and the kit.
No manufacturer warranty or support line: help comes from the community and your kit vendor, and Voron does not endorse kit vendors.
You need ABS-type printed parts, printed yourself or ordered through the community's Print it Forward service.

Is the Voron Voron Legacy compatible with SimplyPrint?
Yes. You can connect the Voron Voron Legacy to SimplyPrint via Klipper (Moonraker), then slice, queue, start and monitor prints from your browser or the mobile app.
How do I connect the Voron Voron Legacy to SimplyPrint?
Follow our step-by-step setup guide for the Voron Voron Legacy. It shows how to connect it via Klipper (Moonraker), what you need for each, and which to pick.
What slicer should I use for the Voron Voron Legacy?
Cura, PrusaSlicer and OrcaSlicer all work with the Voron Voron Legacy, and you can run any of them in SimplyPrint's online browser slicer - no install needed, on any device.
Can I use OrcaSlicer with the Voron Voron Legacy?
Yes, but OrcaSlicer has no built-in profile for the Voron Voron Legacy that we know of: start from a similar printer's profile and set the bed size, height and nozzle to match.
What filament can the Voron Voron Legacy print?
Based on its specs (hotend up to 260C, heated bed up to 130C), the Voron Voron Legacy handles PLA, PETG, or TPU & flexibles well. See the full filament guide above for ABS, nylon, PC and composites.
Does the Voron Voron Legacy work with OctoPrint or Klipper?
The Voron Voron Legacy works with Klipper (Mainsail and Fluidd), and SimplyPrint connects to it through them - so you get cloud access, a queue and camera monitoring on top.
What is the Voron Voron Legacy's bed size and build volume?
The Voron Voron Legacy has a 230 x 230 mm print bed and prints up to 240 mm tall, a build volume of about 230 x 230 x 240 mm. See the full specifications table above for bed type, temperatures and more.
When did the Voron Voron Legacy come out?
Voron launched the Voron Legacy in December 2020.
Can the Voron Voron Legacy eject prints automatically?
There's no kit for it that we support yet, but SimplyPrint's AutoPrint can push prints off with the toolhead, or run your own ejection G-code, and then start the next job from your queue.
