| Software notes | Powered by Anycubic Kobra OS (based on Klipper) and operated via a 4.3-inch capacitive touch interface. Compatible with Anycubic Slicer, OrcaSlicer, and other third-party software. It offers Wi-Fi connectivity and integration with the Anycubic app for remote monitoring. Multicolor printing requires the external ACE Pro module, sold separately. | The machine is natively managed via Snapmaker Luban, a free, cross-platform software (Windows, macOS, Linux) custom-built to handle the three workflows (3D printing, laser engraving, CNC carving) within a single interface. Luban simplifies the transition between tasks and is ideal for novice users. However, the controller, running on a custom firmware, supports the export and use of standard G-code files. Users can utilize third-party slicers like Cura or PrusaSlicer for 3D printing, LightBurn for laser module control, and Fusion 360 or Vectric Aspire for CNC operations, providing the necessary flexibility for more advanced workflows. |
