| 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 X2D uses Bambu Studio as its official software, available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It also accepts standard G-code from third-party slicers such as PrusaSlicer, SuperSlicer, and Cura, though some advanced features — including automatic calibration and dual-nozzle workflow management — are only fully supported within Bambu Studio. |
