How to Uninstall SimplyPrint from a Makerbase-powered printer

Only for the older / alternative setup. If you connected your printer using the SimplyPrint Client, there is nothing to uninstall - the SimplyPrint Client connects to your printer wirelessly and never installs anything on the printer itself. To return the printer to normal, just quit or power off the device running the SimplyPrint Client; the printer is completely unchanged. The steps below apply only if you previously installed SimplyPrint directly on the printer.


1. Find your printer's IP address

There's several different ways to find you printer's IP address:

  • The IP address usually shows on your printer's screen or in its network settings
  • Can't find it? Check your router settings for connected devices
  • Or use a network scanner tool like Angry IP Scanner


2. Connect to your Printer via SSH

  1. Open a terminal or SSH client on your computer.
  2. Connect to your K2 using the IP address you noted:
ssh mks@[IP_ADDRESS]


For example; ssh mks@192.168.0.42


  1. When prompted for a password, type makerbase and press Enter.
The password won't show up while typing - don't worry; that's normal.


3. Run the Uninstall Script

  1. Once connected, run the command below to uninstall SimplyPrint from the printer:
./moonraker-sp.sh --uninstall


If you've deleted moonraker-sp.sh after the installation process, then you can install it again using the command below:
wget -O moonraker-sp.sh https://download.simplyprint.io/klipper/moonraker-sp.sh && chmod +x moonraker-sp.sh


Once the script is finished it should display [INFO] Uninstall complete., if the uninstall was successful.


  1. If you also want to remove the installation script, then run the command below:
rm moonraker-sp.sh


That's it! SimplyPrint has now been removed from your printer.
