Anycubic Kobra S1 ACE 2 Pro Combo Multi-Colour 3D Printer – 4 to 16 Colours

This combo pairs the enclosed Kobra S1 CoreXY printer with the ACE 2 Pro, Anycubic’s four-slot filament hub and dryer. Out of the box it prints four colours or materials in a single job, and chaining up to four ACE 2 Pro units takes it to 16.

The ACE 2 Pro is as much a dryer as a colour changer. It heats the stored spools to as much as 65 °C while the printer runs, monitors temperature and humidity, and drives each spool with its own brushless motor, with runout detection and automatic refill. Damp filament is one of the most common causes of stringing and weak parts, so keeping spools dry through long multi-colour jobs makes a visible difference.

The printer is the standard Kobra S1: a 250 × 250 × 250 mm build volume, 300 mm/s recommended and 600 mm/s maximum speed, a 320 °C hotend and a 120 °C PEI spring steel bed for PLA, PETG, TPU (95A), ABS and ASA. LeviQ 3.0 levelling, a 480P camera with AI spaghetti detection and a 44 dB quiet mode round it out.
