| Software notes | Natively compatible with QIDI Studio, a slicing software based on PrusaSlicer and Orca Slicer, which ensures an efficient workflow for multi-color management. It also supports other third-party slicers, providing users with excellent flexibility. Built-in Wi-Fi and Ethernet connectivity facilitate remote job submission and monitoring. | The X-Plus 3 is natively supported by QIDI Print, the company's official slicer based on PrusaSlicer, which offers pre-configured and optimized profiles for supported materials, ensuring a ready-to-use experience. The software's user interface is designed to simplify the print preparation process, from support generation to advanced cooling configuration. Because the printer uses Klipper-based firmware, advanced users can interact directly via the integrated web interface (Fluidd or Mainsail), allowing for in-depth monitoring and fine-tuning of print parameters in real time. The system is also fully compatible with third-party software such as Ultimaker Cura, Simplify3D, standard PrusaSlicer, and OrcaSlicer, offering maximum flexibility in workflows. |
