| Software notes | Compatible with PrusaSlicer (open-source), PrusaConnect, and any host supporting serial/Ethernet connectivity such as OctoPrint and Pronterface. Firmware is based on open Marlin, with no proprietary cloud lock-in. The ESP Wi-Fi module is optional and can be physically removed for sensitive environments. | The proprietary Snapmaker Luban software is designed to manage all three main functions of the machine (3D printing, laser processing, and CNC routing) within a single interface, significantly simplifying the workflow for users approaching mixed manufacturing. For pure 3D printing, the control board still accepts standard G-code generated by third-party slicers such as Ultimaker Cura or PrusaSlicer, providing advanced users with greater control over specific extrusion and movement settings. |
