| Software notes | Powered by Anycubic Kobra OS (based on Klipper) and operated via a 4.3-inch capacitive touch interface. Compatible with Anycubic Slicer, OrcaSlicer, and other third-party software. It offers Wi-Fi connectivity and integration with the Anycubic app for remote monitoring. Multicolor printing requires the external ACE Pro module, sold separately. | The printer is operated through Bambu Studio, Bambu Lab's open-source slicer based on PrusaSlicer, available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Remote control is available via the Bambu Handy app or Bambu Suite. The machine includes a 5" color touchscreen for local operation and connects over dual-band Wi-Fi. The firmware is proprietary; Klipper is not natively supported. |
