| 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 machine is compatible with major slicing software on the market, particularly CHITUBOX and Lychee Slicer, natively supporting .CTB and .PRZ formats. It features 8 GB of internal memory and supports file transfer via USB port and Wi-Fi connectivity, allowing a versatile workflow without the requirement to rely on cloud platforms. Direct interaction with the printer is handled via a 5-inch touchscreen that provides a simple and responsive interface for operational control. |
