| Software notes | Compatible with Artillery Slicer and Cura; the Marlin firmware accepts standard G-code, so it works with PrusaSlicer, SuperSlicer, OrcaSlicer. WiFi file transfer does not offer a Klipper web interface, limiting remote monitoring and real-time adjustments. | Powered by CrealityOS, a Klipper-based firmware, it supports remote control via Wi-Fi or LAN and interfaces natively with Creality Print and other compatible slicers for advanced multi-color workflow management. |
