| 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. | Natively compatible with QIDI Studio, a slicing software based on PrusaSlicer and Orca Slicer, which ensures an efficient workflow for multi-color management. It also supports other third-party slicers, providing users with excellent flexibility. Built-in Wi-Fi and Ethernet connectivity facilitate remote job submission and monitoring. |
