| Software notes | Kobra OS (based on Klipper) featuring a 4.3-inch touchscreen interface. Compatible with Anycubic Slicer for color management and Wi-Fi connected for remote monitoring via app. The integrated ACE Pro system automatically handles filament changes and active drying. | The Kobra OS firmware is based on Klipper and controlled via a proprietary touch interface. The official slicer is Anycubic Slicer Next (derived from OrcaSlicer, available for Windows and macOS), but it also supports third-party OrcaSlicer. Remote control is possible via the Anycubic app (iOS/Android) over a local network, with no mandatory cloud connection for daily operations. |
