| 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. | Running on native Klipper firmware, the machine offers an open and accessible control interface via local network (Fluidd or Mainsail). It is natively compatible with QIDI Slicer (derived from PrusaSlicer/Orca), but easily supports all major third-party slicers. It includes advanced features such as input shaping and automatic calibration to maximize print quality at high speeds without requiring registration to proprietary cloud services. |
