Which software is best? Cura or is there any other recommendation? (Am a newbie in the field).
I use the PrusaSlicer for all my printers, I am very satisfied with the slicer.
I recommend using Cura as a slicer, then a Raspberry Pi (3 or newer) with Octopi as a print server. Then you don't always have to go back and forth with the SD card, but can control your printer via Wifi and monitor the current status graphically via the Octopi web interface or app (optionally also with a webcam). With Octopi you are also equipped to use some software functions that would not work with the basic device alone.
Cura is from Ultimaker, but works with practically all 3D printers because they need an open CNC standard (GCode) for control, which has also become established for 3D printers. Crearly printers are very well supported by Cura (parameters, bed size etc. already preconfigured) and with Octopi you can even start the print from Cura.
