How it works

Which printers, and what is inside

  • Klipper printers

    Prepares prints for Klipper-based printers. Supports Protype CD400 and QIDI; any other printer with Klipper and Moonraker can be added manually by its address.

  • Slicing on your computer

    The model is sliced on your computer. The slicer opens STL, 3MF and STEP files, saves G-code and sends the file to the printer over the network.

  • AI assistant

    Suggests print settings and builds a part model from a description. The assistant needs a connection and a free account, and it has a daily limit.
