| Software notes | Native Klipper firmware with Moonraker API. Recommended web interfaces: Mainsail or Fluidd. Compatible with standard slicers: UltiMaker Cura, PrusaSlicer, OrcaSlicer, IdeaMaker, Simplify3D. No proprietary software required. Unlimited root access: the user can modify configurations without restrictions. | 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. |
