| Software notes | The Kobra OS, based on Klipper, supports native features like Input Shaping and is accessible via a touchscreen interface. The machine is compatible with Anycubic Slicer Next and OrcaSlicer, supporting remote monitoring via Wi-Fi through a dedicated app and managing automatic filament changes with the ACE Pro module. | The machine is compatible with major slicing software on the market. The manufacturer recommends using Elegoo Slicer, specifically optimized to leverage the CoreXY kinematics, multi-color printing via the CANVAS system, and vibration compensation algorithms (Input Shaping). Alternatively, popular slicers like Orca Slicer and Cura can be used, offering broad flexibility to users who prefer established workflows. The integrated dual-band Wi-Fi connectivity allows direct transfer of G-code files to the 8 GB internal memory without physical cards, while the internal camera enables remote monitoring and time-lapse video recording, simplifying the management of the printing process even from a distance. |
