| 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 managed via Snapmaker Luban, a unified software that prepares files for all three processes (3D printing, laser, CNC). The machine is based on modified Marlin firmware and accepts standard G-code, allowing the use of third-party slicers like Cura or PrusaSlicer solely for 3D printing operations. |
