| Software notes | The printer is operated through Bambu Studio, Bambu Lab's open-source slicer based on PrusaSlicer, available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Remote control is available via the Bambu Handy app or Bambu Suite. The machine includes a 5" color touchscreen for local operation and connects over dual-band Wi-Fi. The firmware is proprietary; Klipper is not natively supported. | Natively compatible with Snapmaker Luban, the proprietary software specifically designed to manage the machine's three different functions within a single environment. The printer is based on standard Marlin firmware and supports G-code formats, allowing the use of third-party slicers like Cura or Simplify3D for 3D printing. For CNC and laser operations, it is possible to use external programs such as Autodesk Fusion 360, LaserGRBL, or LightBurn, exporting compatible toolpaths via the interface or USB port. |
