| 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 system is powered by Klipper-based firmware, processed by a 64-bit quad-core SoC, enabling speeds up to 300 mm/s. Connectivity is comprehensive, offering USB, Ethernet, and Wi-Fi ports for the remote management of massive G-code files. The user interface is accessible via a generous 10.1-inch capacitive touchscreen, which is detachable from the chassis for comfortable positioning. The machine is best managed using the Elegoo Cura slicer but supports standard STL and OBJ formats, allowing broad workflow flexibility without any dependence on cloud platforms. |
