| Software notes | The printer is natively compatible with PrusaSlicer, an open-source slicer with official tested profiles for all supported materials; OrcaSlicer profiles are also available. The firmware is Prusa-proprietary (STM32/xBuddy-based) with no native Klipper support. Remote management is available via Prusa Connect (optional cloud platform) or over the local network; offline printing from USB is fully supported with no functional limitations. | 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. |
