| 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. | The system is natively supported by QIDI Studio, a slicing software derived from PrusaSlicer and Orca Slicer, providing a modern interface and advanced features. The open architecture still allows the use of third-party slicing solutions. Network connectivity, via Wi-Fi or Ethernet, facilitates direct remote printing and monitoring, aided by the built-in camera. |
