| Software notes | Compatible with major third-party slicers such as PrusaSlicer and Cura. It features Wi-Fi connectivity managed through the Anycubic app, while still allowing offline use via USB. | The H2S uses Bambu Studio as its primary slicer, with full support for proprietary features including automatic calibration, AI monitoring, and AMS management. It also accepts G-code exported from OrcaSlicer, PrusaSlicer, and Cura, though some advanced functions may not be available with third-party slicers. Laser and cutting functions are managed exclusively through Bambu Suite. Developer Mode is available, exposing MQTT access for custom integrations. |
