Cloud dependency No No
Software notes 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. The printer is natively compatible with PrusaSlicer, an open-source slicer with official tested profiles for all supported materials; OrcaSlicer profiles are also available. The firmware is Prusa-proprietary (STM32/xBuddy-based) with no native Klipper support. Remote management is available via Prusa Connect (optional cloud platform) or over the local network; offline printing from USB is fully supported with no functional limitations.
