Anycubic ACE 2 Pro for Kobra 3 Max

Upgrade your Anycubic Kobra 3 Max with intelligent multi-colour filament management and active filament drying using the Anycubic ACE 2 Pro.

Designed as an advanced 4-channel filament feeding, retracting, storage and drying system, the ACE 2 Pro automatically manages up to four filament spools while providing active drying at temperatures up to 65°C – even while you're printing.

Four independent brushless motors, intelligent filament monitoring, humidity control and a high-speed 50 mm/s filament feed rate help make filament changes faster and more reliable. For users wanting to expand their Kobra 3 Max into a more capable multi-colour printing platform, the ACE 2 Pro provides the intelligent filament management needed to take the next step.

Please note: This product is the Anycubic ACE 2 Pro accessory only. The Kobra 3 Max 3D printer and filament are not included unless specifically stated otherwise.

4-Channel Multi-Colour Filament Management

The Anycubic ACE 2 Pro provides four independent filament channels, allowing compatible Anycubic 3D printers such as the Kobra 3 Max to automatically manage multiple filament spools.

Instead of manually unloading and loading filament every time a colour needs to change, the ACE 2 Pro handles filament feeding and retraction automatically.

This makes it possible to create more complex multi-colour prints while reducing the amount of manual intervention required during long print jobs.

Four Independent Brushless Motors

Each of the four filament channels is powered by an independent brushless motor, allowing the ACE 2 Pro to control feeding and retraction individually.

Combined with its next-generation buffer mechanism, the system provides smooth and responsive filament movement across all four channels.

The ACE 2 Pro reaches a filament feeding speed of up to 50 mm/s, approximately twice the feed rate of the previous-generation ACE Pro system.

Faster filament handling helps reduce waiting time during automatic filament changes, particularly on models requiring frequent colour changes.

Active Filament Drying up to 65°C

Moisture can have a major impact on FDM printing quality.

Filament that has absorbed moisture may produce inconsistent extrusion, poor surface quality and weaker printed parts.

The ACE 2 Pro incorporates an active filament drying system capable of reaching temperatures up to 65°C, helping keep compatible filament in better printing condition.

Even better, the system supports drying while printing, allowing filament to remain in a controlled environment throughout long print jobs.

Intelligent Temperature & Humidity Monitoring

Built-in temperature and humidity sensors continuously monitor conditions inside the ACE 2 Pro.

Compatible information can be viewed through the printer interface, slicing software and Anycubic App, giving you greater visibility over the environment in which your filament is being stored and dried.

This is especially useful for users working with moisture-sensitive materials or storing filament inside the ACE 2 Pro for extended periods.

Active Moisture Removal

The ACE 2 Pro doesn't simply heat the filament chamber.

An electromagnetic valve helps actively expel moisture from inside the unit during the drying process, creating a more effective moisture-management system.

This helps remove humid air instead of simply circulating it inside the enclosure.

Sealed Filament Storage

Once filament is dry, keeping moisture out is equally important.

The ACE 2 Pro uses a silicone sealing ring to help create a more controlled storage environment and reduce the amount of external moisture entering the unit.

The combination of sealed storage, temperature monitoring, humidity monitoring and active drying makes the ACE 2 Pro more than simply a multi-colour filament feeder – it also acts as an intelligent filament management system.

Durable Ceramic Filament Feeding Ports

Filament constantly moving through feeding ports can gradually cause wear, particularly when abrasive composite materials are used.

The ACE 2 Pro uses alumina ceramic filament feeding ports, providing improved abrasion resistance compared with conventional plastic feeding points.

This helps improve long-term durability and makes the system better suited to regular use.

Quick-Release Buffer for Easier Maintenance

Filament jams happen, but clearing them shouldn't require dismantling your entire filament system.

The ACE 2 Pro features an externally mounted, quick-release buffer channel, allowing easier access when clearing filament blockages or carrying out maintenance.

This design helps minimise downtime and makes routine troubleshooting more convenient.

Filament Runout Detection & Auto Resume

The ACE 2 Pro supports filament runout detection, helping prevent an empty spool from unexpectedly ruining a long print.

When used with a compatible Anycubic printer and configuration, the system can assist with filament management and automatic print continuation.

This is particularly useful for large prints on machines such as the Anycubic Kobra 3 Max, where jobs may run for many hours and consume significant amounts of filament.

Intelligent Filament Identification

The ACE 2 Pro supports intelligent filament identification with compatible filament and printer configurations.

This helps streamline filament setup and reduces the amount of information that needs to be entered manually when preparing a print.

Broad Filament Compatibility

The Anycubic ACE 2 Pro supports a wide selection of 1.75 mm filament types, including:

• PLA

• PETG

• ABS

• ASA

• PET

• PA

• PC

• PVA

• BVOH

• PP

• POM

• HIPS

• PLA-CF

• PETG-CF

• PVB

Important: Support for feeding a material through the ACE 2 Pro does not necessarily mean the material can be optimally dried at the unit's maximum 65°C drying temperature. Some engineering and fibre-reinforced materials may require different drying conditions.

Designed for the Anycubic Kobra 3 Max

This ACE 2 Pro package includes the components required for compatible installation with the Anycubic Kobra 3 Max, including the 4-in-1 filament hub and Kobra 3 Max-series purge wiper.

For Kobra 3 Max owners who want to add automatic multi-filament management, active filament drying and multi-colour capability, the ACE 2 Pro is the dedicated expansion system designed to unlock these features.

Why Choose the Anycubic ACE 2 Pro?

The Anycubic ACE 2 Pro transforms compatible Anycubic printers such as the Kobra 3 Max from a conventional single-spool setup into a much more capable filament management system.

Its four independent filament channels provide automatic feeding and retraction for multi-colour printing, while four brushless motors and a 50 mm/s feed rate help make filament changes fast and reliable.

At the same time, 65°C active drying, temperature and humidity monitoring, active moisture removal and sealed storage help protect filament against one of the most common causes of inconsistent FDM printing: moisture.

For Kobra 3 Max users wanting multi-colour printing, automatic filament management and active filament drying in one integrated system, the Anycubic ACE 2 Pro is a powerful upgrade to the standard printing setup.
