| Software notes | Compatible with PrusaSlicer (open-source), PrusaConnect, and any host supporting serial/Ethernet connectivity such as OctoPrint and Pronterface. Firmware is based on open Marlin, with no proprietary cloud lock-in. The ESP Wi-Fi module is optional and can be physically removed for sensitive environments. | 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. |
