| 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 printer is controlled via Bambu Studio, the proprietary slicer available for Windows, macOS, and Linux, as well as the Bambu Handy mobile app. LAN mode is supported, allowing full local control without an internet connection or cloud account. Remote monitoring via Bambu Cloud is optional. Bambu Studio accepts 3MF, STL, OBJ, and STEP files and includes advanced features such as vibration compensation and flow rate control. |
