| Software notes | The Kobra OS firmware is based on Klipper and controlled via a proprietary touch interface. The official slicer is Anycubic Slicer Next (derived from OrcaSlicer, available for Windows and macOS), but it also supports third-party OrcaSlicer. Remote control is possible via the Anycubic app (iOS/Android) over a local network, with no mandatory cloud connection for daily operations. | Powered by CrealityOS, a Klipper-based firmware, it supports remote control via Wi-Fi or LAN and interfaces natively with Creality Print and other compatible slicers for advanced multi-color workflow management. |
