| Software notes | The machine is supported by major slicing software on the market, including optimized profiles for CHITUBOX and VoxelDance Tango, ensuring broad operational flexibility. The system relies entirely on USB connection for file transfer and offline printing, eliminating any dependency on cloud services. The onboard interface is managed via a practical 3.5-inch resistive touchscreen that allows users to start prints, monitor basic parameters, and utilize automated diagnostic features, such as the initial self-check of mechanics and sensors. | The device ensures broad compatibility with the main third-party slicing software programs available on the market, including widely used solutions such as ChiTuBox and Lychee Slicer. File management is primarily handled via offline transfer using the USB port located on the front of the chassis, or by utilizing the wired Ethernet network connection for remote monitoring within a local network. There are no restrictions or dependencies on proprietary cloud platforms, allowing users to work in complete autonomy and protect the intellectual property of their print files without requiring an active internet connection during the manufacturing process. |
