Its slicer is built on Bevy, a Rust game engine, and draws models and toolpaths on the GPU.

Field notes

The listed calibration method has the nozzle probe the bed directly, build a height map, and correct tilt automatically; Melt3D gives a ten-second leveling time. The page also describes a filament sensor that can load and unload filament and pause a print if filament runs out or tangles. A remote interface is listed for starting, monitoring, and stopping prints over a network.
