| Software notes | Native Klipper firmware with Moonraker API. Recommended web interfaces: Mainsail or Fluidd. Compatible with standard slicers: UltiMaker Cura, PrusaSlicer, OrcaSlicer, IdeaMaker, Simplify3D. No proprietary software required. Unlimited root access: the user can modify configurations without restrictions. | The STM32 board runs Marlin and communicates via USB Type-C or TF card; it works with any standard slicer (Cura, PrusaSlicer, Simplify3D) without proprietary restrictions. Lack of Wi-Fi requires physical transfer of G-code files, but ensures full offline control. |
