| Software notes | Powered by Creality OS (based on Klipper), it supports LAN and cloud control via the Creality Print app. It remains compatible with major third-party slicers like Cura and PrusaSlicer. | The printer runs Creality's proprietary Marlin-based firmware. It is compatible with Creality Print and Cura 5.0 or later; Simplify3D support is documented by third-party resellers. Print files are transferred via SD card. Community guides exist for converting to Klipper, but this is not an officially supported configuration and requires manual hardware and firmware intervention. |
