| 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 runs Creality's proprietary Marlin-based firmware. It is compatible with Creality Print and Cura 5.0 or later; Simplify3D support is documented by third-party resellers. Print files are transferred via SD card. Community guides exist for converting to Klipper, but this is not an officially supported configuration and requires manual hardware and firmware intervention. |
