| Software notes | Artillery OS, a Klipper-based system. Compatible with standard slicers like Cura, PrusaSlicer and OrcaSlicer via G-code. Supports Wi-Fi transfer, SD card and touchscreen control. Compared to closed platforms, it allows advanced adjustment of printing parameters, but lacks a native cloud ecosystem and requires manual slicer configuration. | It runs on the Klipper-based Creality OS. Compatible with Creality Print, Cura, and PrusaSlicer, featuring remote control support via Wi-Fi or LAN. |
