| Software notes | Natively compatible with Snapmaker Luban, the proprietary software specifically designed to manage the machine's three different functions within a single environment. The printer is based on standard Marlin firmware and supports G-code formats, allowing the use of third-party slicers like Cura or Simplify3D for 3D printing. For CNC and laser operations, it is possible to use external programs such as Autodesk Fusion 360, LaserGRBL, or LightBurn, exporting compatible toolpaths via the interface or USB port. | The machine is natively managed via Snapmaker Luban, a free, cross-platform software (Windows, macOS, Linux) custom-built to handle the three workflows (3D printing, laser engraving, CNC carving) within a single interface. Luban simplifies the transition between tasks and is ideal for novice users. However, the controller, running on a custom firmware, supports the export and use of standard G-code files. Users can utilize third-party slicers like Cura or PrusaSlicer for 3D printing, LightBurn for laser module control, and Fusion 360 or Vectric Aspire for CNC operations, providing the necessary flexibility for more advanced workflows. |
