Replacing an S4U 16K with better option

Not sure why anyone would use that plastic crap they send with the printer. Mine goes straight in the bin whenever I get a new S4U and I have 4. I printed a hanging bracket and I hang my plate to drip inside it without taking the plate off completely. The printer has a like a lip under the screen to

When did this become reality!?

The dual color/material is just one configuration of the printer. You can also use it with 1 large vat and 1 large build plate. Then it makes a lot more sense. There is also nothing stopping other brands of releasing an aftermarket split vat / build plate. https://store.anycubic.com/pages/photon-p1-

The door to Pro is ready to open | Jupiter 2 coming on April 15

That was my guess too, until the Anycubic P1 Max $900 pre-order. We know the J2 has a funky FEP quick swap system, but Anycubic have been dialing in their force sensors for a while now - and apparently have been cooking with the P1 Max, so the J2 has its work cut out if it only offers better FEP swa

H2C overkill for a first “serious” printer?

Anycubic has some new kobras that are suppose to be more efficient on waste and faster. Waiting for them to arrive. I have 2 H2Cs (we sell a lot and run about 30 printers). I love them. The waste saved and leaving my prices as is, so I will have a higher markup, will have them pay for themselves qui

Testing the Anycubic Kobra X for 2 weeks (PLA, PETG, TPU, ASA) – first impressions

The Kobra X doesn't move around. It feels fairly substantial to me, and you'd really have to push speeds that frankly bedslingers aren't capable of to get it to wobble like that. I've had mine for maybe about 2 weeks now and I love it. No bed issues, no Clogging, amazing! Top finish and overall the

Printers for the lazy beginner

You're the kind of person I'd recommend the Kobra S1 for: someone with a fair amount of experience with printers, who can fix problems without a ton of hand-holding and can deal with less-than-stellar software and quirks. It can output great prints, with some effort, as long as you don't get a lemon

Camera for M7 Pro?

Short answer is no, Anycubic wants you to buy the P1, which is really an M7 Max split into two vat areas, or one depending on how you use it, I will say that it does appear to be well built and high grade materials, but the M7 Pro is also quite nice and great for professionals. The slicer had the ca

New to resin printing, what's causing these print fails

What resin???? I never met anyone that didn't say it works fine with anycubic resin, it's other brands that don't stick very well on the M7 Max. Also most people leave smart release on and if like me they use high quality ACF that doesn't stretch the machine detect the release at 0.3mm and then retu

FDM user looking to buy a resin printer for the first time use

Personally i wouldnt recommend heygears because of the locked ecosystem, currently they dont support 3rd party resins, which is a dealbreaker to me. Its nothing like filament where basically, pla is pla is pla, and so on for other materials. With resins nothing is standard, every resin is basically

Recommendations for a 3D printer for someone who knows nothing about them?

Agree, but will add Bambu or anycubic. They are pretty comparable, but anycubic has the price advantage. Bambu is selling the P1 series cheaply since the P2 dropped. If you do not buy the combo and wasn’t multi color, the AMS/AMS2 systems are on back order until the end of February. Multicolor is mo
