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

Keep in mind you’re essentially a beta tester with the Kobra X, its initial presentation might look promising but it’s not proven long term. My personal experience with Anycubic has not been reliable or trustworthy. After a Kobra 2 and a Kobra S1, I wouldn’t trust anything they make anymore. They’re

I own both. Facts: Print quality is similar, Kobra X multicolor is a little faster and a little more efficient. Opinions: Bambu Studio is better; Anycubic Slicer Next is what you get if you shoot Bambu Studio with a Bizarro Ray. Makerworld is much better in that it's more mature, but it's free regar

Yes, more of the same from elegoo. I use to like elegoo cheap and effective was the game and sometimes you get a stinker, but now they are more stink and more cost. Who are they competing with? Look at the latest offerings, finally a multi color printer from 4 years ago and asking almost 500usd and

I get frustrated by the fan base because they complained about the Kobra 3 being undercooked when it released making us glorified beta testers. And then we give Anycubic grace and they demonstrate that they fully are baking, the Kobra X and the S1 Max, which should be great but then they have lost a

A month ago, one of the people who received the KS1M made a Reddit post asking what we were interested in. We also discuss it a lot on the Anycubic Discord server with beta testers and future users, a server I recommend you join to stay informed or when you need help. The S1M is positioned as a comp

Also ich habe 3 Drucker von Anycubic und hatte noch nie Probleme mit dem Support. In der Regel Antworten Sie in einem Zeitraum von 24 Stunden. Aktuell kann ich mir schon vorstellen das Sie mit den Tickets nicht nachkommen außerdem hat das Ticketsystem einen Fehler. Bei meinem Kobra X den ich am 21.1

So I own the Kobra X. But it is not my first printer. It's my 4th actually. I've had mostly positive experiences but note I did have to replace the hot end under warranty which support was easy to work with and sent new part free of charge. If you are new to 3d printing such troubleshooting and repa

I only have the Kobra X. And outside of one issue with my hot end (replaced under warranty) the machine has been fine. I had issues with the leveling system but a machine factory reset cleared it. This was right after a firmware upgrade so it must have gotten bugged. From reputation Anycubic seems t

I preordered Kobra x Jan 30th, cancelled Mar 20th because it hadn’t shipped yet, still no response, Anycubic website still says awaiting shipment
