| Software notes | The machine is compatible with major slicing software on the market. The manufacturer recommends using Elegoo Slicer, specifically optimized to leverage the CoreXY kinematics, multi-color printing via the CANVAS system, and vibration compensation algorithms (Input Shaping). Alternatively, popular slicers like Orca Slicer and Cura can be used, offering broad flexibility to users who prefer established workflows. The integrated dual-band Wi-Fi connectivity allows direct transfer of G-code files to the 8 GB internal memory without physical cards, while the internal camera enables remote monitoring and time-lapse video recording, simplifying the management of the printing process even from a distance. | 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. |
