| Software notes | Native Klipper firmware with a 64-bit ARM 1.5 GHz processor. The printer is controlled via Wi-Fi from the Fluidd or Mainsail web interface, sending G-code from any slicer (Cura, PrusaSlicer, OrcaSlicer). No proprietary software required; USB/Type-C connection allows offline control. The user has full access to macros and advanced Klipper tuning, without hardware modifications. | The native software is Bambu Studio, available for Windows and macOS, with advanced slicing and direct integration of the machine's proprietary features. The printer is also compatible with third-party slicers that export standard G-code (PrusaSlicer, SuperSlicer, Cura), though some advanced functions — including AMS control, Vision Encoder calibration, and chamber management — may be unavailable or only partially supported outside the Bambu ecosystem. |
