Software notes The machine uses proprietary firmware accessible entirely via a WiFi-based web interface, eliminating the need for locally installed software or dedicated apps. This system ensures compatibility with major industry-standard slicers (such as Slic3r, Cura, or Simplify3D) configured for the G-code protocol. The integrated web interface allows for multi-device management and remote control, making it easy to monitor the long-running print processes typical of clay applications. The system uses Duet firmware, offering a web-based control interface (Duet Web Control) accessible from any Wi-Fi-connected device. The machine does not require specific proprietary control software, but standard G-code-compatible slicing software is required to generate toolpaths.
