Software notes The machine is compatible with major slicing software on the market, particularly CHITUBOX and Lychee Slicer, natively supporting .CTB and .PRZ formats. It features 8 GB of internal memory and supports file transfer via USB port and Wi-Fi connectivity, allowing a versatile workflow without the requirement to rely on cloud platforms. Direct interaction with the printer is handled via a 5-inch touchscreen that provides a simple and responsive interface for operational control. 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.
