Filament compatibility for the Ultimaker Method X: 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. | ## Printers like the Ultimaker Method X that work with SimplyPrint - [Ultimaker 2+](https://staging.simplyprint.io/compatibility/ultimaker-2-plus): Compatible, 223 x 223 x 205 mm, Also by Ultimaker · Similar build volume - [Ultimaker Original](https://staging.simplyprint.io/compatibility/ultimaker-original): Compatible, 210 x 210 x 205 mm, Also by Ultimaker · Similar build volume - [Bambu Lab A1 Mini](https://staging.simplyprint.io/compatibility/bambu-lab-a1-mini): Compatible, 180 x 180 x 180 mm, Similar build volume - [Prusa Mini](https://staging.simplyprint.io/compatibility/prusa-mini): Compatible, 180 x 180 x 180 mm, Similar build volume ## Frequently asked questions ### Is the Ultimaker Method X compatible with SimplyPrint?
