| Software notes | The machine natively runs on Klipper firmware, offering comprehensive control and high computational speed for advanced features like input shaping. The user interface is managed locally via a large 5-inch touchscreen. Remote monitoring is facilitated by the integrated 1080p AI webcam with error detection for extrusion failures. For slicing, the manufacturer provides QIDI Studio, a software derived from PrusaSlicer/Bambu Studio, specifically optimized for high-temperature material profiles. Users can also access the Fluidd web interface for advanced control over the printer parameters and print offline via a USB drive or through the local network. | 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. |
