| Software notes | Klipper-based firmware with a 4.3" colour touchscreen. Compatible with Creality Print, Orca Slicer and PrusaSlicer; remote monitoring via the Creality Cloud app is optional. | The machine is primarily managed via Snapmaker Luban, a free proprietary software integrating file preparation for 3D printing, laser engraving, and CNC milling into a single environment. While intuitive for beginners, experienced users may find limitations in advanced settings. However, the system accepts G-code files generated by third-party slicers like Cura or PrusaSlicer for 3D printing, and software like LightBurn or Fusion 360 for laser and CNC work, ensuring excellent operational versatility. |
