| 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. | This printer is natively supported by Elegoo Slicer, a slicing software based on Orca Slicer that provides users with pre-configured, carefully optimized profiles designed to maximize both part detail and overall printing speed. Additionally, the machine's operating system is fully compatible with the most popular and community-endorsed third-party slicing software, such as Orca Slicer and Ultimaker Cura. The versatile onboard connectivity options include standard USB ports and a reliable dual-band Wi-Fi module (operating at 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz). This infrastructure enables effortless remote monitoring and comprehensive control of the printing process via its network interface and the built-in chamber camera, greatly streamlining daily workflow management. |
