Software notes The management of 3D models and print file preparation is supported by the main resin slicing software on the market, ensuring significant operational flexibility. Users can rely on widely used and appreciated solutions such as Chitubox and Lychee Slicer, which offer advanced tools for support generation and part orientation. Alternatively, the manufacturer provides the proprietary HALOT BOX software, specifically designed to integrate natively with the electronics and systems of this machine line. The motherboard is equipped with a built-in Wi-Fi module, enabling remote project submission and over-the-air firmware updates. Remote monitoring can be done via application, although the classic and stable file transfer via USB port remains fully supported. The system integrates seamlessly with the leading third-party slicing software available on the market, offering substantial operational flexibility. Users can utilize popular solutions such as ChiTuBox and Lychee Slicer, which feature pre-configured and optimized profiles for this specific model, simplifying file preparation and advanced support management. Connectivity occurs primarily via a USB port for offline file transfer, ensuring total stability during the printing process without the risk of interruptions caused by network fluctuations. Exposure parameters are fully customizable directly within the software, allowing for precise optimization across a wide range of both proprietary and third-party resins.
