| Software notes | Natively managed via Snapmaker Luban, a unified software that prepares files for all three processes (3D printing, laser, CNC). The machine is based on modified Marlin firmware and accepts standard G-code, allowing the use of third-party slicers like Cura or PrusaSlicer solely for 3D printing operations. | The primary software is Snapmaker Orca, an optimized version of the popular OrcaSlicer, which provides native management of the four toolheads and factory-calibrated material profiles. The printer can also be seamlessly managed via the Snapmaker mobile app for remote monitoring, taking advantage of the built-in 1080p camera. The internal firmware is built on Klipper, Moonraker, and Fluidd, which Snapmaker has made open-source, allowing experienced users to customize the machine and integrate it into complex workflows. |
