| Software notes | Natively compatible with Creality Print 6.0 and other third-party slicers. It supports Wi-Fi connectivity and features 8 GB of internal eMMC memory for local storage of G-code and 3MF files. | The system is powered by Klipper-based firmware, processed by a 64-bit quad-core SoC, enabling speeds up to 300 mm/s. Connectivity is comprehensive, offering USB, Ethernet, and Wi-Fi ports for the remote management of massive G-code files. The user interface is accessible via a generous 10.1-inch capacitive touchscreen, which is detachable from the chassis for comfortable positioning. The machine is best managed using the Elegoo Cura slicer but supports standard STL and OBJ formats, allowing broad workflow flexibility without any dependence on cloud platforms. |
