| Software notes | 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. | 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. |
