| 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 relies on an architecture based on native Klipper firmware, a configuration that guarantees advanced kinematics management and precise control of accelerations through input shaping algorithms. The local and remote user interface is managed fluidly, allowing full monitoring of print parameters without the need to depend on mandatory external cloud services. For file preparation, the machine supports the main slicing software available on the market, including Qidi Print, OrcaSlicer, and PrusaSlicer, offering optimized profiles to enhance production times and the surface quality of components. Connectivity options include wired network and Wi-Fi, facilitating the integration of the device into local networks of laboratories or digital workshops. |
