| Software notes | The machine uses Duet firmware, accessible via the Duet Web Control protocol in a browser, eliminating the need for installable proprietary control software. For generating G-code files, the manufacturer recommends Simplify3D, although the system is compatible with any slicer capable of exporting code compatible with RepRap/Duet-based architectures. The interface allows for real-time adjustment of extrusion speed and print parameters, essential for managing the variable rheology of pastes and cements. | The firmware is based on the Duet 6HC electronics, compatible with the G-code standard, which allows the use of widely used slicers such as Cura, PrusaSlicer, Slic3r, and SuperSlicer. This open architecture gives the user complete control over extrusion parameters and print profiles, avoiding the restrictions typical of closed proprietary software. |
