| Software notes | Powered by Creality OS (based on open-source Klipper), the printer is natively compatible with Creality Print 5.0 or newer. Wi-Fi connectivity and the built-in AI camera enable real-time remote monitoring and management. | PrusaSlicer (optimized) and Prusa Connect for remote control. The machine accepts G-code from any slicer (Cura, Simplify3D) and communicates via USB, Ethernet or Wi-Fi using an open Marlin-based protocol. Compatible with OctoPrint and offline management. Does not require a Prusa account to print, unlike machines with proprietary firmware that block features without connection. |
