| Software notes | The X2D uses Bambu Studio as its official software, available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It also accepts standard G-code from third-party slicers such as PrusaSlicer, SuperSlicer, and Cura, though some advanced features — including automatic calibration and dual-nozzle workflow management — are only fully supported within Bambu Studio. | Powered by Creality OS (Klipper-based) and supports Creality Print, integrating smoothly with major third-party slicers like Cura and PrusaSlicer. |
