| 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 official slicer is Bambu Studio, available for macOS, Windows, and Linux. The printer also accepts standard G-code exported from third-party slicers such as PrusaSlicer, SuperSlicer, and Cura, though certain advanced Bambu-specific features — including RFID-based filament detection and some automatic calibration modes — are only available within Bambu Studio. Remote control is handled via the Bambu Handy mobile app and desktop app; push notifications require cloud connectivity. |
