Anycubic Kobra 3 Max. 42x42cm build plate, model laid out diagonally. Was still a pretty tight fit, but worked out well

No. You can get a Bambu A1 mini for this price, or an Anycubic Kobra X for about $50 more. Those both come with a lot of features that make printing a lot easier. Also a warranty

Anycubic Kobra 2 Pro. Не самый лучший принтер, я некоторые части пушки долго шкурил и заливал грунтовкой

$50 of it is the motors and mechanical bits. The other $250 is the software that makes it work seamlessly with the printer. There’s a reason other companies implementations are not nearly as good. I’ve tried the anycubic kobra and crealities version and it’s nowhere near as good quality.

So this is my first Bambu Labs printer. The printer I was using previously was the Anycubic Kobra S1 combo and when it comes to color swapping I was always running into layer swifts but with H2C no issue outta the box at all.

I’d still recommend the Bambu Labs P1S in this case. The controversy around Bambu is mainly about their closed ecosystem and the move to block third-party apps, not about the quality or reliability of the printers themselves. As for the Anycubic Kobra S1, I’ve watched a number of reviews and seen qu

Just my .02 so take it as you will. Buy an enclosed coreXY printer - the print quality difference versus "open-air" bedslingers is vast, more exotic filaments can be used without so much worry as well. For what it's worth I have an Anycubic Kobra S1 with an Ace Pro and it serves me quite well. The p

The place I consult for uses Creo. Edit: to clarify, I modeled it on-site using Creo, exported as a STEP rather than STL to avoid tesselation related artifacts, imported into Anycubic Slicer Next, defaults for generic PLA and hit go. The Kobra S1 is a nice machine for its price.

My regret is not going with Bambu to begin with. I now own 3 Bambu Lab printers. 200, 600, and 1100 hours respectively, the only tinkering I’ve had to do is basic maintenance to keep everything lubed. Kobra S1 has about 300 hours on it, with probably 299.95 hours being problem solving test prints 🤣

Why did you release Anycubic Slicer Next, instead of allowing integration with Orca Slicer? Why didn't you port over the per colour transition purge volume configuration feature from Orca? I'm having bleeding issues with dark to light colour transition on the Kobra 3 Combo. Why does your LAN mode no
