| 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 operates primarily through third-party slicing software widely adopted within the maker community, such as ChiTuBox and Lychee Slicer, ensuring high flexibility in file preparation. Integration with these programs allows granular control over exposure parameters, support generation, and lift times. The machine features no integrated wireless connectivity or reliance on cloud platforms, requiring completed print files to be transferred exclusively via a removable USB flash drive. This configuration guarantees complete offline operational autonomy and mitigates the risk of interruptions caused by network issues or forced remote software updates. |
