| Software notes | The system supports standard file formats derived from the main slicing software on the market, offering full compatibility with Anycubic Photon Workshop. The native application provides advanced tools for optimal model orientation, automatic or manual generation of complex supports, and geometric resin compensation to prevent shrinkage issues. Although the printer includes network connectivity features for optional remote monitoring of the work cycle and file transfer via local network, all fundamental configuration and printing operations remain fully accessible offline via the integrated touch screen and USB input. | This printer natively interfaces with the proprietary Halot Box software, developed by the manufacturer to offer a simplified workflow optimized for the machine's architecture. The system includes built-in Wi-Fi connectivity, allowing print files to be sent directly via the local network or through the manufacturer's mobile app for remote control. Experienced users can still use major third-party slicing software, such as Lychee Slicer or Chitubox, exporting the files in the compatible format required by the machine. The printer's internal operating system is based on an ARM Cortex-A53 architecture, which easily handles complex files and ensures a fluid user interface through the generous color touchscreen. |
