| Software notes | Equipped with Kobra OS firmware. It supports connectivity via USB, Anycubic Slicer, and the Anycubic mobile app for remote print monitoring and control. Integrates AI-based error detection. | Compatible with Artillery Slicer and Cura; the Marlin firmware accepts standard G-code, so it works with PrusaSlicer, SuperSlicer, OrcaSlicer. WiFi file transfer does not offer a Klipper web interface, limiting remote monitoring and real-time adjustments. |
