| Cloud dependency | No | No |
| Software notes | The machine is based on open GRBL firmware (version 1.1h), making it compatible with all major CNC control software on the market, such as Candle, Universal Gcode Sender (UGS), and LightBurn for those who add a laser module. It supports offline operation so you can work without a connected PC. | The machine is sold without a control unit and CNC software, offering maximum architectural freedom. The user must connect the stepper motors (via the three included standard SUB-D 9-pole connectors) to a third-party controller, allowing the use of firmware like GRBL, LinuxCNC, or Mach3 depending on the chosen electronics. |
