| Software notes | The machine is compatible with major slicing software on the market such as Cura, PrusaSlicer, and Simplify3D, supporting STL and OBJ formats. It features Marlin firmware with advanced functionalities like Linear Advance and Input Shaping. | Native Klipper firmware with a 64-bit ARM 1.5 GHz processor. The printer is controlled via Wi-Fi from the Fluidd or Mainsail web interface, sending G-code from any slicer (Cura, PrusaSlicer, OrcaSlicer). No proprietary software required; USB/Type-C connection allows offline control. The user has full access to macros and advanced Klipper tuning, without hardware modifications. |
