Software notes The native operating system is Creality OS, a customized version of Klipper. It supports Creality Print and major third-party slicers, along with WiFi connectivity and remote management. Running on native Klipper firmware, the machine offers an open and accessible control interface via local network (Fluidd or Mainsail). It is natively compatible with QIDI Slicer (derived from PrusaSlicer/Orca), but easily supports all major third-party slicers. It includes advanced features such as input shaping and automatic calibration to maximize print quality at high speeds without requiring registration to proprietary cloud services.
