Software notes The printer works with Anycubic Slicer Next, derived from OrcaSlicer and optimized for the Anycubic ecosystem; it supports multi-plate management and object skipping during printing. Remote control and real-time monitoring are available through the Anycubic app (iOS and Android), connecting via LAN or cloud. The proprietary firmware is not currently open source; native Klipper compatibility is not supported. 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.
