Ecosystem
Cloud dependency No No
Software notes Compatible with the main slicers on the market. It supports cloud connectivity via the Anycubic app and Wi-Fi for remote monitoring, while still allowing offline use via USB. 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.
