| 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 system is natively supported by QIDI Studio, a slicing software derived from PrusaSlicer and Orca Slicer, providing a modern interface and advanced features. The open architecture still allows the use of third-party slicing solutions. Network connectivity, via Wi-Fi or Ethernet, facilitates direct remote printing and monitoring, aided by the built-in camera. |
