| 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 machine natively runs on Klipper firmware, offering comprehensive control and high computational speed for advanced features like input shaping. The user interface is managed locally via a large 5-inch touchscreen. Remote monitoring is facilitated by the integrated 1080p AI webcam with error detection for extrusion failures. For slicing, the manufacturer provides QIDI Studio, a software derived from PrusaSlicer/Bambu Studio, specifically optimized for high-temperature material profiles. Users can also access the Fluidd web interface for advanced control over the printer parameters and print offline via a USB drive or through the local network. |
