| 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 system is natively supported by QIDI Studio, a slicing software derived from PrusaSlicer and Orca Slicer, providing a modern interface and advanced features. The open architecture still allows the use of third-party slicing solutions. Network connectivity, via Wi-Fi or Ethernet, facilitates direct remote printing and monitoring, aided by the built-in camera. |
