| Software notes | It runs Kobra OS (based on Klipper) with a 4.3-inch touch interface. It is compatible with Anycubic Slicer for color management and connects via Wi-Fi for remote monitoring through the app. | The P1P works with Bambu Studio, Bambu Lab's proprietary slicing software available for Windows, macOS, and Linux, and with the Bambu Handy mobile app for remote monitoring and print management. Cloud connectivity is optional: the printer also supports a LAN-only mode for users who prefer to operate without connecting to external servers. It is not natively compatible with open-source firmware such as Klipper, nor with third-party slicers like PrusaSlicer or OrcaSlicer without unofficial profiles. |
