| 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 X2D uses Bambu Studio as its official software, available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It also accepts standard G-code from third-party slicers such as PrusaSlicer, SuperSlicer, and Cura, though some advanced features — including automatic calibration and dual-nozzle workflow management — are only fully supported within Bambu Studio. |
