Connect the Ultimaker Method to SimplyPrint

Does the Ultimaker Method 3D printer work with SimplyPrint, OctoPrint, Mainsail and Fluidd? Each way of connecting it, what it needs, and how to set it up.

    Not compatible

No known way to connect it to SimplyPrint

Unfortunately, the Ultimaker Method is currently not, to our knowledge, compatible with OctoPrint, Mainsail, Fluidd, or SimplyPrint. For the best 3D printing experience, consider other 3D printers that are compatible with these softwares.

How we determine compatibility

We consider a printer compatible if it works with one or more of the following:

  • SimplyPrint custom integration for this specific model
  • OctoPrint support (requires the printer to support serial printing)
  • Klipper support (printer can run Klipper, either by flashing compatible firmware or using an external controller/pad)

OctoPrint compatibility is primarily based on whether the printer supports serial communication. If serial printing is not supported, we mark OctoPrint as not compatible.

Note: Some printers have third-party OctoPrint plugins that enable unofficial/custom connections. We don’t maintain a list of these plugins, so they are not reflected in our compatibility data.

Profiles and other slicers

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 Ultimaker Method: 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.

What filament can the Ultimaker Method print?

Filament compatibility for the Ultimaker Method: 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.

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.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Ultimaker Method compatible with SimplyPrint?

To our knowledge the Ultimaker Method is not yet supported. SimplyPrint works with 130+ brands and 600+ models via OctoPrint, Klipper and built-in integrations - check the compatibility list for a supported printer.

What slicer should I use for the Ultimaker Method?

We recommend Cura for the Ultimaker Method. You can run it, and 6 other slicers, directly in SimplyPrint's online slicer - no install, on any device, with profiles for the Ultimaker Method kept up to date automatically.

Can I use OrcaSlicer with the Ultimaker Method?

Yes, but OrcaSlicer has no built-in profile for the Ultimaker Method 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 Method print?

Based on its specs (hotend up to 300C, no heated bed), the Ultimaker Method handles PLA well. See the full filament guide above for ABS, nylon, PC and composites.

What is the Ultimaker Method's bed size and build volume?

The Ultimaker Method has a 190 x 190 mm print bed and prints up to 196 mm tall, a build volume of about 190 x 190 x 196 mm. See the full specifications table above for bed type, temperatures and more.
