| 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. | Prusa firmware based on Marlin, fully open source, with built-in input shaper for faster and cleaner prints. Official slicer: PrusaSlicer (free, optimized profiles), compatible with Cura and Simplify3D. Control via USB, Ethernet or Wi-Fi with Prusa Connect (optional). No filament DRM: full freedom to use third-party materials. |
