| 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. | The system is natively supported by QIDI Studio, a slicing software derived from PrusaSlicer and Orca Slicer, providing a modern interface and advanced features. The open architecture still allows the use of third-party slicing solutions. Network connectivity, via Wi-Fi or Ethernet, facilitates direct remote printing and monitoring, aided by the built-in camera. |
