| Software notes | Prusa firmware based on Marlin, fully open source, with built-in input shaper for faster and cleaner prints. Official slicer: PrusaSlicer (free, optimized profiles), compatible with Cura and Simplify3D. Control via USB, Ethernet or Wi-Fi with Prusa Connect (optional). No filament DRM: full freedom to use third-party materials. | The official software is Snapmaker Luban, which integrates the tools needed to manage 3D printing, laser, and CNC operations into a single interface. It supports the direct import of common standard formats (STL, OBJ, SVG, DXF). The machine features Wi-Fi and USB connectivity, allowing for practical job dispatch. As an open system, 3D printing is also compatible with third-party slicers like Cura or PrusaSlicer, while for the laser module, it is possible to generate G-code with dedicated software and then export the file for offline execution. |
