| Software notes | Equipped with Kobra OS, a Klipper-based firmware, controllable via a 4.3-inch touchscreen. Compatible with Anycubic Slicer and third-party software like OrcaSlicer. Features Wi-Fi for remote control via app. Multicolor printing requires the ACE Pro module, sold separately. | The H2S uses Bambu Studio as its primary slicer, with full support for proprietary features including automatic calibration, AI monitoring, and AMS management. It also accepts G-code exported from OrcaSlicer, PrusaSlicer, and Cura, though some advanced functions may not be available with third-party slicers. Laser and cutting functions are managed exclusively through Bambu Suite. Developer Mode is available, exposing MQTT access for custom integrations. |
