The Standalone Workflow (Without a Computer Attached)
-
1. The Prep Work: You use a computer initially to open your 3D model in a program like Anycubic Slicer Next (or OrcaSlicer). You assign which of the slots across your ACE 2 Pro modules should paint specific parts of your model (supports up to 16 colors). The software generates the instruction file (G-code).
-
2. Sending the File: You transfer that file to the Kobra S1 Max using one of three independent methods:
- Wi-Fi / LAN Mode: Send it directly through the slicer via your local home network.
- Anycubic App: Upload the file to the cloud and trigger the print using your smartphone.
- USB Flash Drive: Load the file onto a physical thumb drive and plug it right into the machine.
- 3. Execution: Once you hit Print via the machine's 4.3-inch touchscreen (or your phone app), the data is fully stored on the printer's onboard flash memory. You can completely shut down your computer or take your laptop elsewhere. The S1 Max handles everything internally, including heating the bed, managing active chamber heating up to 65°C, running its LeviQ 3.0 auto-leveling routine, managing filament cuts and purges for color swaps, and managing the active drying elements inside the connected ACE 2 Pro modules.
