| Software notes | Anycubic Kobra OS (a closed Klipper-based system) compatible with the Anycubic mobile app for remote control. Supports all major slicers. | The printer is operated through Bambu Studio, Bambu Lab's open-source slicer based on PrusaSlicer, available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Remote control is available via the Bambu Handy app or Bambu Suite. The machine includes a 5" color touchscreen for local operation and connects over dual-band Wi-Fi. The firmware is proprietary; Klipper is not natively supported. |
