| Software notes | The printer runs Marlin firmware with an open G-code protocol, compatible with any slicer like Cura, PrusaSlicer, or Simplify3D. Artillery Slicer is a customized version of Cura with optimized profiles. WiFi connectivity allows file transfer via a dedicated app but doesn't support a full web interface. Input shaping and pressure advance are preconfigured and factory-tuned, reducing initial calibration. | Full Klipper firmware with integrated Mainsail or Fluidd web interface via Wi-Fi. Compatible with any slicer that generates standard G-code: Ultimaker Cura, PrusaSlicer, OrcaSlicer. The protocol is open Klipper, the user can directly adjust Input Shaping and Pressure Advance from the web interface without additional software. |
