One ecosystem, any filament
Anycubic's ACE (Anycubic Consumable Ecosystem) box reads NFC tags to know which spool is loaded. SimplyPrint lets you write that same tag format onto any spool you own, so the ACE Pro accepts it.
Not locked to Anycubic filament
The ACE Pro validates a SKU field on each tag before it trusts the spool. SimplyPrint automatically generates a valid SKU from the spool's material type, so every tag you write is accepted - whatever brand the filament actually is.
How it works
Three steps to a spool the ACE Pro recognizes.
What's stored on the tag
Each ACE tag carries the SKU (the product code the ACE Pro validates), a brand code, material type, full RGB color, min and max nozzle temps, min and max bed temps, diameter, length and weight. Material type is free-form up to a short code.
Which tags work
MIFARE Ultralight C is the native ACE tag, and NTAG216, NTAG215 and NTAG213 all work too. Data is written as raw page data with no encryption, so writing is fast and reliable.
Usage tracks itself
Filament usage is deducted automatically from your G-code whether or not a spool carries a tag. The tag just makes identifying the right spool a one-second scan instead of a manual pick.
How automatic tracking worksPlan access: what's included?
