| 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. | The P1S is managed through Bambu Studio, Bambu Lab's proprietary slicer available for Windows, macOS, and Linux, or via OrcaSlicer, the widely adopted open-source fork that provides finer parameter control. The Bambu Handy mobile app enables remote monitoring and print launching. The printer supports local LAN connections without a mandatory cloud account, though some advanced features — such as remote timelapses and OTA firmware updates — require a Bambu account. |
