| Software notes | 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. | The printer is officially supported by QidiPrint, the manufacturer's proprietary slicing software, which includes pre-configured profiles optimized for carbon fiber and nylon printing. The system is also fully compatible with popular third-party slicers, including Ultimaker Cura and Simplify3D, giving users the flexibility to adapt their workflow. Basic connectivity includes Wi-Fi, a wired LAN network, and a USB port for manual file transfer. Although the native Marlin-based firmware lacks advanced network management features like Klipper, the machine can be successfully interfaced with external server systems such as OctoPrint via cable. |
