| Software notes | The machine is compatible with major slicing software on the market such as Cura, PrusaSlicer, and Simplify3D, supporting STL and OBJ formats. It features Marlin firmware with advanced functionalities like Linear Advance and Input Shaping. | The H2D uses Bambu Studio as its official slicer, available for macOS and Windows. Third-party slicers that export standard G-code — including PrusaSlicer, SuperSlicer and Cura — are also compatible, though certain advanced proprietary features (such as automatic dual-nozzle offset calibration and Material CodeSync) are only accessible within the Bambu ecosystem. Remote monitoring and control are handled via Bambu Handy; Bambu Suite manages laser engraving and cutting workflows. |
