| 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 machine relies on an architecture based on Klipper firmware, which provides advanced computational performance and native features like input shaping to reduce vibrations during high-speed movements. Users can interface via the integrated 5-inch touchscreen or through the standard Klipper web interface. The recommended official slicing software is QIDI Studio, a program derived from PrusaSlicer and Orca Slicer, optimized to leverage the machine's profiles and proprietary print parameters. However, the system maintains an open approach and is fully compatible with third-party slicers such as Orca Slicer, PrusaSlicer, and Cura, ensuring maximum flexibility in the daily workflow. |
