Software notes Natively compatible with PrusaSlicer (based on Slic3r, open-source), but it works with any slicer able to generate Marlin-flavored G-code, such as Cura, ideaMaker or Simplify3D. The firmware is a Prusa-modified Marlin 2, fully open: no lock-in to proprietary software or protocols. The user has full control over the machine, but PrusaSlicer is recommended for optimal performance, as it includes exclusive profiles and features like dynamic flow calibration. The firmware is based on Marlin with strong Klipper influence and integrates Input Shaper and Pressure Advance to handle higher speeds. Files are prepared with PrusaSlicer; operation does not require a cloud connection.
