| Software notes | The firmware runs on a proprietary Kobra OS layer built on top of Klipper; the official slicer is Anycubic Slicer Next, derived from OrcaSlicer, available for Windows and macOS. Third-party OrcaSlicer is also supported. Remote monitoring and control are available via the Anycubic app (iOS/Android) over LAN, with no mandatory cloud connection required for core printing functions. | 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. |
