Anycubic ACE 2 Pro Multi-Colour Filament Hub & Dryer – for Kobra X, S1 and S1 Max

The ACE 2 Pro adds four-colour, four-material printing to an Anycubic Kobra X, Kobra S1 or Kobra S1 Max, and doubles as an active filament dryer. This is the version for those printers: it ships with the adapter plate and the return detection module with 4-in-1 hub that they use. Kobra 3 Max owners need the Kobra 3 Max version instead.

Each of the four slots has its own brushless motor to feed and retract filament, and the sealed unit heats stored spools to as much as 65 °C while you print, with temperature and humidity monitoring. Runout detection and automatic refill switch to a matching spool when one runs out, and Anycubic’s RFID-tagged filament is identified automatically. Chain four units on a Kobra S1 or S1 Max for 16-colour printing.

It handles PLA, PETG, ABS, ASA, PET, PA, PC, PP, POM, HIPS, PVB, dried PVA and BVOH, carbon-fibre grades such as PLA-CF, PETG-CF and PAHT-CF, and Anycubic’s ACE-grade TPU. Spools with a 195–200 mm flange and 60–68 mm width fit. The unit measures 368 × 291.5 × 236.5 mm, weighs 3.7 kg, and runs at under 48 dB with the lid closed.
