Anycubic ACE 2 Pro filament system for Kobra X, 65°C active drying

Anycubic ACE 2 Pro is a filament-management and drying unit listed for use with the Kobra X. Its advertised 65°C active drying and multicolour feed options are aimed at print setups that need filament handling alongside printing.

At a glance

The listing describes four independent brushless motors for filament feeding and retraction.
Advertised 65°C active drying can run while printing. The technical description identifies PLA, PETG, PVB and TPU as suitable for drying.
Runout detection and auto-resume are claimed features, intended to help manage print interruptions.
Filament compatibility and drying suitability are not identical. The listing gives a longer list of compatible filaments but marks several as not optimal for drying.

Pros and cons

Pros

Active drying is advertised during printing, with temperature and humidity monitoring available through the app, slicer and printer screen.
The listed Kobra X colour capacity can expand from 7 colours with one ACE Pro to 19 with four units, according to the feature claim.
Spool size limits are specified, which helps buyers check whether their existing reels fit.

Cons

The multicolour expansion figures require additional ACE units for capacities above the single-unit setup, and the listing does not provide those extra units in its package details.

What to know before buying

The listing gives spool limits of 195-200mm flange diameter, 60-68mm spool width and 3-6mm flange thickness. Check your reels against all three measurements before purchase.
Drying is described as suitable for PLA, PETG, PVB and TPU. ASA, ABS, PET, PA, PC, PP, POM, HIPS and fibre-reinforced materials are listed as compatible but not optimal for drying.

Listing details to confirm

The listing is inconsistent about dimensions: one entry gives 32D x 45W x 35H centimetres, while another gives 32 x 45 x 35 cm; 3.7 kg. It also calls the product ACE 2 Pro but describes several colour capacities using ACE Pro, and gives printer compatibility as Kobra S1, Kobra S1 Max and Kobra X. Confirm the exact model compatibility and physical dimensions for the selected listing. The page says ACE Pro and ACE 2 Pro cannot be used simultaneously, and states that pictured filament is display-only and sold separately.

Who is it for?

A good fit for

Kobra X owners seeking the listing's advertised multicolour filament handling and active drying in one accessory.
Users printing with listed drying-suitable materials who want to monitor temperature and humidity through supported software or printer interfaces.
Buyers willing to verify their printer model and spool dimensions before adding a filament-handling unit.

Less suited to

Anyone seeking a standalone 3D printer. This is a filament system and drying accessory.
Users who require a confirmed compatibility claim for a printer other than the listed Kobra S1, Kobra S1 Max or Kobra X.
Buyers expecting filament to be included, as the listing says pictured filament is sold separately.

The supplied evidence contains aggregate ratings but no customer-comment summary, so it does not support claims about specific praised features or complaints. The overall rating distribution is mixed, with a majority in the highest star category but a notable one-star share. Treat that as a limited signal rather than proof of performance, particularly when checking printer compatibility and the conflicting dimensions.
