| Software notes | The machine relies on an architecture based on Klipper firmware, which provides advanced computational performance and native features like input shaping to reduce vibrations during high-speed movements. Users can interface via the integrated 5-inch touchscreen or through the standard Klipper web interface. The recommended official slicing software is QIDI Studio, a program derived from PrusaSlicer and Orca Slicer, optimized to leverage the machine's profiles and proprietary print parameters. However, the system maintains an open approach and is fully compatible with third-party slicers such as Orca Slicer, PrusaSlicer, and Cura, ensuring maximum flexibility in the daily workflow. | 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. |
