| 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 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. |
