Compatibility
What computer, display, and printer you need to run HueForge.
No iPad, iPhone, or Android. HueForge is a desktop app for Windows, macOS, and Linux only — there is no mobile or tablet version.
Supported platforms
- Windows 10 / 11
- macOS 12+ (Intel and Apple Silicon)
- Linux x64 (AppImage; glibc ≥ 2.35)
Not supported: Windows 7/8, macOS 11 and earlier, Linux ARM64, and all phones/tablets.
Display
| Resolution | |
|---|---|
| Minimum | 1366×768 effective resolution |
| Recommended | Full HD (1920×1080) or larger |
OS display scaling counts toward “effective” resolution. Below 1366×768 usable desktop area, expect a cramped layout.
Computer requirements
Windows
- Windows 10 or 11
- GPU: discrete GPU less than ~10 years old, or built-in/iGPU from the past ~5 years
- Modern discrete and integrated graphics (Intel Iris, AMD APUs, etc.) generally work
- GPU should support OpenGL GLSL 3.3+
- Old dual-GPU laptops may need the discrete GPU forced — see Windows troubleshooting
- Crashes/graphics issues: logs + dxdiag.txt
macOS
- macOS 12–26.x (Intel and Apple Silicon)
- If your Mac runs 12.4+, it can run HueForge
- macOS 11 support was removed to stay compatible with newer macOS releases
Linux x64
- glibc 2.35+
- AppImage from your order Download Files page (tested on Arch, Ubuntu, Mint, Fedora; minor graphical quirks possible)
- Vulkan recommended on Linux (and used for the SpotFix blank-view workaround under File → Settings → Model → Render Backend → Vulkan). Most modern desktop distros already include Vulkan; if switching blanks the entire UI, install your distro’s Vulkan driver/ICD packages.
- ARM64 Linux is not supported
Printer requirements
You must be able to pause and swap filament during a print (manual or AMS/MMU/CFS/tool-changer). Test a pause/swap print before buying.
- Common commands: M600 (default) or M0 if you can still change filament
- Firmware updates often add pause/swap if missing out of the box
- Direct drive is highly recommended, not strictly required
- Auto changers help — you still set filament changes in the slicer from HueForge’s workflow
HueForge is not a slicer. You still need Orca, Bambu Studio, PrusaSlicer, or similar.
