Software notes	Full Klipper firmware with integrated Mainsail or Fluidd web interface via Wi-Fi. Compatible with any slicer that generates standard G-code: Ultimaker Cura, PrusaSlicer, OrcaSlicer. The protocol is open Klipper, the user can directly adjust Input Shaping and Pressure Advance from the web interface without additional software.	The A1 works natively with Bambu Studio, Bambu Lab's proprietary slicer available for Windows and macOS, which handles slicing, automatic calibrations, and remote monitoring via the Bambu Handy app. Third-party slicers — including PrusaSlicer, SuperSlicer, and Ultimaker Cura — are supported via standard G-code export, but advanced features such as vibration compensation and active flow control are only available within the Bambu ecosystem.
