Software notes The Kobra OS, based on Klipper, supports native features like Input Shaping and is accessible via a touchscreen interface. The machine is compatible with Anycubic Slicer Next and OrcaSlicer, supporting remote monitoring via Wi-Fi through a dedicated app and managing automatic filament changes with the ACE Pro module. The official software is Snapmaker Luban, which integrates the tools needed to manage 3D printing, laser, and CNC operations into a single interface. It supports the direct import of common standard formats (STL, OBJ, SVG, DXF). The machine features Wi-Fi and USB connectivity, allowing for practical job dispatch. As an open system, 3D printing is also compatible with third-party slicers like Cura or PrusaSlicer, while for the laser module, it is possible to generate G-code with dedicated software and then export the file for offline execution.
