Anycubic

Printer link — Live (LAN + cloud)

Aspect	Detail
Protocol (LAN)	MQTTS, port 9883 (TLS 1.2), direct to the printer
Protocol (cloud)	Signed REST + vendor cloud MQTT
Filament	ACE multi-color box — per-slot support
Discovery	/info probe, port 18910
Camera	FLV stream (port 18088)
Control	Live control panel (axes, temps, light, fan, load/unload)

Note: cloud mode is the one place where a printer link transits a vendor cloud — LAN mode stays fully local.

Native RFID — spec documented, in-app read planned

Anycubic spool tags are Mifare Ultralight with no authentication and no crypto — trivially readable (and clonable). Read-only decoding spec: docs/rfid-vendors/anycubic.md.

The workflow

1. Add the printer — two paths: LAN mode (local discovery via the /info probe; the connection credentials are imported from the vendor slicer’s configuration) or cloud mode through the Anycubic account.
2. Scan a spool — phone or desktop reader; it lands in your inventory.
3. Assign it to an ACE slot — Tiger Studio maps inventory spools to the ACE multi-color box.
4. Live & control — telemetry, job progress, the FLV camera stream, and a control panel: axes, temperatures, light, fan, load/unload per slot.

Limitations

• Native Anycubic tags are not read in-app yet — the spec is documented, and the current work aims at converting vendor tag data into TigerData spools (see Compatibility).
