| Software notes | The system uses the Duet Web Control firmware, which allows for complete management via a web interface on any Wi-Fi-connected device, without requiring dedicated control software installed locally. For toolpath generation (slicing), the manufacturer recommends using Simplify3D, although the machine is compatible with any software capable of exporting G-code files. The architecture is open to the integration of auxiliary systems for material flow management via standard protocols. | 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. |
