| Software notes | Equipped with Kobra OS firmware. It supports connectivity via USB, Anycubic Slicer, and the Anycubic mobile app for remote print monitoring and control. Integrates AI-based error detection. | The firmware runs on a proprietary Kobra OS layer built on top of Klipper; the official slicer is Anycubic Slicer Next, derived from OrcaSlicer, available for Windows and macOS. Third-party OrcaSlicer is also supported. Remote monitoring and control are available via the Anycubic app (iOS/Android) over LAN, with no mandatory cloud connection required for ordinary printing operations. Unlike the Combo version, the ACE 2 Pro module is not included in the box. |
