| Software notes | The P1S is managed through Bambu Studio, Bambu Lab's proprietary slicer available for Windows, macOS, and Linux, or via OrcaSlicer, the widely adopted open-source fork that provides finer parameter control. The Bambu Handy mobile app enables remote monitoring and print launching. The printer supports local LAN connections without a mandatory cloud account, though some advanced features — such as remote timelapses and OTA firmware updates — require a Bambu account. | Natively compatible with QIDI Studio, a slicing software based on PrusaSlicer and Orca Slicer, which ensures an efficient workflow for multi-color management. It also supports other third-party slicers, providing users with excellent flexibility. Built-in Wi-Fi and Ethernet connectivity facilitate remote job submission and monitoring. |
