| Software notes | The machine relies on an architecture based on Klipper firmware, which provides advanced computational performance and native features like input shaping to reduce vibrations during high-speed movements. Users can interface via the integrated 5-inch touchscreen or through the standard Klipper web interface. The recommended official slicing software is QIDI Studio, a program derived from PrusaSlicer and Orca Slicer, optimized to leverage the machine's profiles and proprietary print parameters. However, the system maintains an open approach and is fully compatible with third-party slicers such as Orca Slicer, PrusaSlicer, and Cura, ensuring maximum flexibility in the daily workflow. | 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. |
