| Software notes | File management and print preparation rely primarily on Anycubic Photon Workshop, which integrates optimized profiles to take advantage of the machine's reduced exposure times. The ecosystem supports network connectivity via Wi-Fi and allows remote monitoring and control through the Anycubic Cloud mobile application. While offering advanced cloud features for print queue management and firmware updates, the printer maintains full local offline operational capability. Compatibility with major third-party slicers such as ChiTuBox and Lychee Slicer is guaranteed upon manual configuration of the parameters. | The machine is compatible with major slicing software on the market, particularly CHITUBOX and Lychee Slicer, natively supporting .CTB and .PRZ formats. It features 8 GB of internal memory and supports file transfer via USB port and Wi-Fi connectivity, allowing a versatile workflow without the requirement to rely on cloud platforms. Direct interaction with the printer is handled via a 5-inch touchscreen that provides a simple and responsive interface for operational control. |
