    Ships MINGDA's Klipper fork with KlipperScreen and Moonraker (MINGDA keeps a Moonraker fork on GitHub); the manual sends jobs over the LAN with OrcaSlicer's Octo/Klipper host type. No Mainsail/Fluidd or SSH access is documented. Source

What slicer to use for the MINGDA MD-400D

Profiles and other slicers

Automatic Profile Updates: Profiles are automatically checked and fetched from the slicer GitHub repositories every day, as well as from our own open-source community-driven slicer profile database. This ensures you always have access to the latest profiles.

Note: Other slicers, such as Simplify3D, ideaMaker, SuperSlicer and KISSlicer, aren't in our cloud, so we don't track their profiles. They may still work well with your MINGDA MD-400D: check the slicer's own documentation or forums for a profile. You can also contribute profiles to our open-source slicer profile database on GitHub.
