| Software notes | The printer is controlled via Bambu Studio, the proprietary slicer available for Windows, macOS, and Linux, as well as the Bambu Handy mobile app. LAN mode is supported, allowing full local control without an internet connection or cloud account. Remote monitoring via Bambu Cloud is optional. Bambu Studio accepts 3MF, STL, OBJ, and STEP files and includes advanced features such as vibration compensation and flow rate control. | Natively managed via Creality Print, it features AI capabilities for first-layer monitoring and print failure detection. It offers comprehensive connectivity via Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and USB, supporting remote control and the Creality Cloud ecosystem. |
