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. The firmware is based on Marlin with strong Klipper influence and integrates Input Shaper and Pressure Advance to handle higher speeds. Files are prepared with PrusaSlicer; operation does not require a cloud connection.
