Kobra S1 Combo Or Bambulab P1s
And the quality is very good, event at speed that my previous printer couldn’t reach.
I would say it is precise and reliable enough to compete with the P1S.
And no concern regarding the flatness of the bed.
Kobra S1 Combo Or Bambulab P1s
I get wall quality on the KS1 that is essentially the same as the P1S.
I bought the KS1 Combo pre-release and loved it for about 600 hours. Now I have a P1S + AMS and love it. The KS1 has been reduced to single color printing and the Ace Pro is on my workbench so I can install replacement parts from Anycubic.
The printer has a reputation of issues with the bed being warped out of the box.
It has a 50/50 chance of successfully handling a spool running out
for its price range the print quality is really good
Hi! After 1000h of print time I decided to write an honest review about my experience with the Kobra S1 combo. Before I start as soon as the printer arrived I changed the hot-end for a ceramic one with a hardened steel nozzle, because all printers should have one as default and I dont get why they dont. Otherwise is completely stock. I ran all the calibrations only once when changing the hot end and I clean the bed with IPA after every print and run the bed calibration only when I print many tiny parts on the bed. Lets start with the bad experiences: * The extruder \- the early batches where sent with the filament sensor flap made of thin plastic so after like 100h it broke. I contacted Anycubic support showed them photos and described my problem and they sent me a new extruder (new specification with a metal flap) for free without any problems. * The second one is just my stupidity \- I wanted to try a local brand of cheap filament to save money and regretted it as soon as I started printing, the filament broke into dozens of tiny pieces within the Ace Pro and the 4>1 hub at the back of the printer so I had to disassemble the Ace Pro and some parts of the printer to remove all the broken filament, it was an entire weekend of work so from now on I only buy one filament brand that I have no problems with. Some connection issues \- it was only at the beginning, I think that an update solved them. Now lets finish on a good note: * The stock bed plate \- never expected to be this good I never had any adhesion issues with PLA, PETg even with ABS. * Maintenance \- the printer will automatically remind you that you need to do a maintenance with a link to a video where is all descibed step by step. * Ace Pro \- apart for my stupidity thing described above it works without issues. * Slicer \- it works without any issues (apart for one update where they broke multicolour printing but it was fixed really quickly) * Print quality \- for its price range the print quality is really good all quality "problems" I had where solved by just canging slicer settings (mostly just needed to slow down a bit) Thats all! Hope I didnt forgot anything and if you have questions feel free to ask.

one update where they broke multicolour printing but it was fixed really quickly

Kobra S1 Combo Or Bambulab P1s
I have 700h on my Kobra and hat the usual early issues of which all got fixed at the 350h mark. Since then i had 0 problems.
I have a Kobra S1 my friend has a X1C and a H2D. We compared our Printers and the S1 has the same Print Quality as the Bambus. We did 4 Tests. \-Speed test at Max speed: H2D was best \-Thin tall prints too see stability at normal speed: All 3 were Good \-Thin tall at Max Speed: H2D was better \-Normal Print: All 3 were good I have 700h on my Kobra and hat the usual early issues of which all got fixed at the 350h mark. Since then i had 0 problems. The issues which i and MANY others had were permanently fixed cause the Parts were revised and remade new and stronger. The only problem too this day is the bed is not flat. THe OEM bed 95% of them are warped and not flat. AC say with "Software" they are trying to fix it with each Update but BADLY warped Beds cant be fixed. But there is a solution which gets you a BED and First Layer like a Prusa Machine (Prusas are known for absolut perfect First Layers). You buy an Aftermarket Bed from Funssor. With this change you have the perfect Printer compared to the P1S and X1C. WHY? \-AI Detection. Saved my Ass a few times cause i did wrong Slicer Settings. P1S Does not have this \-Higher Nozzle Temp 320C for S1 | 300C for P1S / Bedtemp 120C for S1 | 100C for P1S I could Print Nylon 12/6‑CF, Nylon 6‑CF, PEI‑CF, PEI‑Glass‑Fiber, PPSU, PETG‑HT and my friend couldnt cause it was at the Limit or cant reach the Temps \-You cant Print&Dry at the same time. This is something we found out recent [truncated]
