| Software notes | 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. | PrusaSlicer, with pre-verified profiles for Input Shaper and Pressure Advance, is the reference software, but the machine accepts standard G-code from any compatible slicer, such as Cura or Simplify3D. Remote management runs through Prusa Connect, via Ethernet or the optional ESP Wi-Fi module. The firmware is open-source and runs on the 32-bit Buddy board, not GRBL, and is OTA-updatable: the Prusa ecosystem provides optimized profiles and regular updates, but doesn't restrict the use of alternative software. |
