## Connect the Voron Voron Legacy to SimplyPrint

| Way of connecting | Status | What you need | Notes |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| SimplyPrint | Compatible |  | Through Klipper (Moonraker) |
| Klipper (Moonraker) | Compatible | Nothing extra: the printer runs Klipper as it ships | 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. ([Source](https://github.com/VoronDesign/Voron-Legacy/blob/main/Firmware/skr_v1.3_config.cfg)) |
| OctoPrint (Directly, over USB) | Not compatible |  | Runs Klipper; OctoPrint only on top of it. ([Source](https://github.com/VoronDesign/Voron-Legacy/blob/main/Firmware/skr_v1.3_config.cfg)); 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. Not yet in SimplyPrint through Klipper (Moonraker): download the file before the print starts.

## 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.

- [PrusaSlicer](https://simplyprint.io/features/slicer/prusaslicer): No profile for the Voron Voron Legacy · Runs in the SimplyPrint cloud
- [OrcaSlicer](https://simplyprint.io/features/slicer/orcaslicer): No profile for the Voron Voron Legacy · Runs in the SimplyPrint cloud
- [BambuStudio](https://simplyprint.io/features/slicer/bambustudio): No profile for the Voron Voron Legacy · Runs in the SimplyPrint cloud
- [ElegooSlicer](https://simplyprint.io/features/slicer/elegooslicer): No profile for the Voron Voron Legacy · Runs in the SimplyPrint cloud

- [Kiri:Moto](https://simplyprint.io/features/slicer/kirimoto): No profile for the Voron Voron Legacy · Runs in the SimplyPrint cloud

We only list slicers you can use in the SimplyPrint cloud, so there may be others for the Voron Voron Legacy.

## 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.

- An app for iPhone and Android, the same in any browser, and a slicer in the cloud.
- More than monitoring: a print queue, AI failure detection, AutoPrint and accounts for a team.
- Printers from many brands in one place, side by side.
- Hosted in Frankfurt, Germany, under the GDPR.

## Automate the Voron Voron Legacy

**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.

### Ways to automate it

- [Push prints off with the toolhead](https://simplyprint.io/features/autoprint/push-off): On a CoreXY printer, a G-code routine can push the cooled print off the front of the plate before the next job starts.
- [Your own ejection G-code](https://simplyprint.io/features/autoprint/custom): Write the routine that clears your plate, and AutoPrint runs it after every print.
- [A robot arm, or anything with an API](https://simplyprint.io/features/autoprint/api): Tell SimplyPrint the plate is clear through the API or a webhook, from a robot arm or your own system.
- [Clear it by hand, keep the queue](https://simplyprint.io/features/autoprint/manual-mode): AutoPrint waits for you to mark the plate clear, then starts the next job.

[How AutoPrint works](https://simplyprint.io/features/autoprint). AutoPrint comes with the Pro plan and up.

## 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. |

## About Voron

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: https://vorondesign.com

Openness: Open (5.0 of 5)

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 (5 of 5): 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. <https://docs.vorondesign.com/build/software/> <https://github.com/VoronDesign/Voron-2>
- Local control and integrations (5 of 5): 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. <https://docs.vorondesign.com/build/software/> <https://moonraker.readthedocs.io/en/latest/external_api/introduction/> <https://docs.octoprint.org/en/main/api/index.html>
- Third-party filament, slicers and parts (5 of 5): 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. <https://docs.vorondesign.com/sourcing.html> <https://github.com/OrcaSlicer/OrcaSlicer/tree/main/resources/profiles/Voron>
- Repairs and spare parts (5 of 5): 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. <https://github.com/VoronDesign/Voron-2> <https://docs.vorondesign.com/sourcing.html>
- Community and documentation (5 of 5): 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. <https://docs.vorondesign.com/> <https://github.com/VoronDesign/VoronUsers> <https://github.com/VoronDesign/Voron-Trident/releases>

### 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.
