| Software notes | Powered by Kobra OS (a Klipper fork), it features Wi-Fi connectivity, vibration compensation, dynamic flow calibration, and a camera with built-in AI detection. | The X1E works with Bambu Studio, Bambu Lab's proprietary slicer, which handles slicing, automatic calibration, and remote monitoring via the Bambu Handy app. Orca Slicer, an open-source Bambu Studio fork with dedicated profiles, is also supported. The firmware is proprietary; Klipper is not natively supported. The printer can run in LAN-only mode, operating fully without an internet connection through the local network. |
