| Software notes | Anycubic Kobra OS (a closed Klipper-based system) compatible with the Anycubic mobile app for remote control. Supports all major slicers. | Artillery OS, a Klipper-based system. Compatible with standard slicers like Cura, PrusaSlicer and OrcaSlicer via G-code. Supports Wi-Fi transfer, SD card and touchscreen control. Compared to closed platforms, it allows advanced adjustment of printing parameters, but lacks a native cloud ecosystem and requires manual slicer configuration. |

Which one to choose
Choose Artillery M1 Pro S1 if…
you value closed chamber, work area and multicolor printing. «A closed chamber reduces thermal gradients around the part being built, limiting warping and cracking caused by rapid cooling in high-shrinkage materials such as ABS, ASA, and PC. It also shields the mechanism from drafts and airborne particles. A closed chamber is effectively necessary for technical materials; for PLA and PETG it is an advantage, not a requirement.»
