| Software notes | This printer natively interfaces with the proprietary Halot Box software, developed by the manufacturer to offer a simplified workflow optimized for the machine's architecture. The system includes built-in Wi-Fi connectivity, allowing print files to be sent directly via the local network or through the manufacturer's mobile app for remote control. Experienced users can still use major third-party slicing software, such as Lychee Slicer or Chitubox, exporting the files in the compatible format required by the machine. The printer's internal operating system is based on an ARM Cortex-A53 architecture, which easily handles complex files and ensures a fluid user interface through the generous color touchscreen. | The system utilizes an open software ecosystem, ensuring compatibility with the main slicing programs on the market, including ChituBox and Voxeldance Tango. The machine integrates built-in Wi-Fi connectivity for the remote transfer of print files via the official application or compatible software, eliminating the need to use physical USB drives for every operation. The internal firmware is based on an optimized version of Linux, which improves the responsiveness of the user interface on the built-in touch screen display and optimizes the handling of complex data originating from 9K files. Exposure parameters and resin profiles can be managed directly from the chosen software, offering precise control over curing times and axis movement speeds. |
