| Software notes | 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. | Powered by CrealityOS, a Klipper-based firmware, it supports remote control via Wi-Fi or LAN and interfaces natively with Creality Print and other compatible slicers for advanced multi-color workflow management. |
