Software notes The printer is operated through Bambu Studio, Bambu Lab's open-source slicer based on PrusaSlicer, available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Remote control is available via the Bambu Handy app or Bambu Suite. The machine includes a 5" color touchscreen for local operation and connects over dual-band Wi-Fi. The firmware is proprietary; Klipper is not natively supported. The machine natively runs on Klipper firmware, offering comprehensive control and high computational speed for advanced features like input shaping. The user interface is managed locally via a large 5-inch touchscreen. Remote monitoring is facilitated by the integrated 1080p AI webcam with error detection for extrusion failures. For slicing, the manufacturer provides QIDI Studio, a software derived from PrusaSlicer/Bambu Studio, specifically optimized for high-temperature material profiles. Users can also access the Fluidd web interface for advanced control over the printer parameters and print offline via a USB drive or through the local network.
