Filament compatibility for the Ultimaker 2 Go: 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 | With care | Marginal - PETG prefers a hotter bed (~70-80C) than this printer reaches. | | TPU & flexibles | With care | Possible, but a Bowden extruder makes flexibles harder - print slowly and prefer firmer (higher-shore) TPU. | | ABS & ASA | Not ideal | Not recommended - the bed cannot reach the ~90-110C ABS and ASA need. | | Nylon (PA) | Not ideal | Not recommended - nylon needs a hotter hotend (~250-270C) and ideally an enclosure. | | 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. | ### Best filament for the Ultimaker 2 Go Filaments the Ultimaker 2 Go prints well, Ultimaker's own first, then the best known. - [Bambu Lab PLA Basic](https://staging.simplyprint.io/filaments/bambu-lab/pla-basic): PLA, 190-240 °C - [Bambu Lab PLA Matte](https://staging.simplyprint.io/filaments/bambu-lab/pla-matte): PLA, 190-230 °C - [SUNLU PLA](https://staging.simplyprint.io/filaments/sunlu/pla): PLA, 190-230 °C - [Anycubic PLA Basic](https://staging.simplyprint.io/filaments/anycubic/pla-basic): PLA, 190-230 °C - [Bambu Lab PLA Metal](https://staging.simplyprint.io/filaments/bambu-lab/pla-metal): PLA, 190-240 °C - [Bambu Lab PLA Silk+](https://staging.simplyprint.io/filaments/bambu-lab/pla-silk-plus): PLA, 190-240 °C - [Bambu Lab PLA Translucent](https://staging.simplyprint.io/filaments/bambu-lab/pla-translucent): PLA, 190-240 °C - [Bambu Lab PLA Wood](https://staging.simplyprint.io/filaments/bambu-lab/pla-wood): PLA, 190-240 °C ## Compare the Ultimaker 2 Go with similar printers - [Voron Voron 0.X](https://staging.simplyprint.io/compatibility/voron-voron-0-x): Compatible, 120 x 120 x 120 mm, Similar build volume - [Ultimaker 2+](https://staging.simplyprint.io/compatibility/ultimaker-2-plus): Compatible, 223 x 223 x 205 mm, Also by Ultimaker - [Monoprice Select mini v2](https://staging.simplyprint.io/compatibility/monoprice-select-mini-v2): Compatible, 120 x 120 x 120 mm, Similar build volume - [Weedo Tina2](https://staging.simplyprint.io/compatibility/weedo-tina2): Compatible, 100 x 120 x 100 mm, Similar build volume - [Compare the Ultimaker 2 Go with other printers](https://staging.simplyprint.io/compatibility/compare?compare=ultimaker-2-go#choose) Affiliate disclosure: Some links on this page are affiliate links.

You can connect the Ultimaker 2 Go to SimplyPrint via OctoPrint, then slice, queue, start and monitor prints from your browser or the mobile app. ### How do I connect the Ultimaker 2 Go to SimplyPrint? Follow our step-by-step setup guide for the Ultimaker 2 Go. It shows how to connect it via OctoPrint, what you need for each, and which to pick. ### What slicer should I use for the Ultimaker 2 Go? We recommend Cura for the Ultimaker 2 Go. You can run it, and 6 other slicers, directly in SimplyPrint's online slicer - no install, on any device, with profiles for the Ultimaker 2 Go kept up to date automatically. ### Can I use OrcaSlicer with the Ultimaker 2 Go? Yes, but OrcaSlicer has no built-in profile for the Ultimaker 2 Go 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 Ultimaker 2 Go print? Based on its specs (hotend up to 280C, no heated bed), the Ultimaker 2 Go handles PLA well. See the full filament guide above for ABS, nylon, PC and composites. ### Does the Ultimaker 2 Go work with OctoPrint or Klipper? The Ultimaker 2 Go works with OctoPrint, and SimplyPrint connects to it through them - so you get cloud access, a queue and camera monitoring on top. ### What is the Ultimaker 2 Go's bed size and build volume? The Ultimaker 2 Go has a 120 x 120 mm print bed and prints up to 115 mm tall, a build volume of about 120 x 120 x 115 mm. See the full specifications table above for bed type, temperatures and more. ### Can the Ultimaker 2 Go eject prints automatically? There's no kit for it that we support yet, but SimplyPrint's AutoPrint can run your own ejection G-code, work with a robot arm through the API, or wait for you to clear the plate, and then start the next job from your queue. --- © 2026 SimplyPrint.
