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.
