# Setting Up Your Prusa i3 MK2.5

Your **Prusa i3 MK2.5** is a classic Prusa printer that connects via USB.

The recommended setup method is using a **Raspberry Pi with OctoPrint** — this is the most reliable and feature-rich way to connect your printer to SimplyPrint.

**→ [Follow the OctoPrint Setup Guide](/setup-guide/methods/octoprint-powered.md)**

> **Note:** The direct firmware integration is only available for newer Prusa printers with updated mainboards (CORE One, MK4S, MK4, MK3.9, MK3.5, Mini/Mini+, XL).
