| Software notes | It runs on the Klipper-based Creality OS. Compatible with Creality Print, Cura, and PrusaSlicer, featuring remote control support via Wi-Fi or LAN. | The device utilizes the proprietary Snapmaker Luban software, an integrated environment that intuitively manages file preparation and print process monitoring. Luban offers preset profiles for the most common materials, simplifying the workflow for less experienced operators, while also granting access to advanced parameters for fine-tuning extrusion settings. Alternatively, the machine is fully compatible with popular third-party slicers on the market, such as Ultimaker Cura and PrusaSlicer, provided a custom profile is configured to fully leverage the system's capabilities. |
