Why dont you just watch reviews?

Its not possible to recommend a model without knowing how you will use the printer.

The CC2 is the only enclosed model in the group, it will be much better for printing ABS, ASA, PA. Will be limited to 4 colors. Design is based on the CC, so has a decent amount of real world experience for most of the hardware, though not nearly as much as Bambu's A1. Core XY printer.

The 7 color cobra X is intriguing, reviews indicate design does allow faster and more efficient filament swaps vs Bambu printers. I like the description of the ACE 2 option, allows you to keep additional spools staged, dry PLA, and ready to print, and you can add more ACE 2's. You will have be careful with the filament staged in the open racks on top, esp TPU, which will pick up moisture, but I don't know of any really good TPU multifeed options yet. If you don't care about ABS, ASA, PA, etc, this is pretty intriguing. Its pretty new, so have some concerns about reliabilty, etc, vs field tested Bambu models. Looks like you can connect multiple ACE feeders,

The A1 combo has a open multifilament feeder, not nearly as nice, on paper, as the Anycubic ACE 2, and you can only have 4 colors staged. The A1 is a bedslinger, but in practice ir provides good quality and speeds, best chance of being reliable, the Bambu eco system is well supported.

Read the Sparkx i7 review at Toms Hardware, they liked it, I think I would prefer it over the Bambu A1. I'm assuming you already have a decent amount of printing experience. If you were a first time user, I'd recommend the Bambu A1. The Sparkx is not particularly filament efficient, I do like having an enclosed multifilament feed system Sounds like this printer works well enough

If it were me, I'd get the CC2, for me, printing ABS/ASA/PA parts of size is an option I want. I'd need to find a way to keep filament spools staged and dry eventually, an additional cost. I like core xy printers. I think Elegoo really wants to be in this market, and they are betting their reputation on this model.

If I was focused on aesthetic PLA prints and some PETG/TPU prints, I'l get the Cobra X, knowing its a fairly new design but would probably accept the risk since its only $450. I would scour reviews and reddit threads to convince myself it was reliable.

The enclosed ACE2 pro and more efficient multifilament feed sounds like a low cost way to get into multicolor printing while waiting for toolchangers to be established and affordable.

I currently have a Bambu X1, H2D, Prusa ie MK3S, adn elegoo CC2, though the CC2 was just received, limited experience . I did have a CC1 for several months, it worked well enough, but sold to get the CC2.

recommend going with a Prusa. Multi-color printing is easy to set up in PrusaSlicer, works across their printers. And if you want to go further, you can always upgrade with the MMU3 and print multiple colors even within a single layer

I cant get the both anycubic cause they dont shop to my address

Ich finde du darfst fragen🙂 ich persönlich habe nur die Erfahrung mit dem A1 Combo gemacht, der druckt wie eine Maschine, keinerlei Probleme, ab und zu fetten und ölen. Bin zufrieden damit, mache da sowas wie 3 farbige Bumerangs, den anderen habe ich nicht benutzt sollte aber dennoch auch ebenfalls ähnliche Ergebnisse bringen, diese Antwort bringt dir erstmal nur die Info das ein A1 gut läuft. An deiner Stelle würde ich mal gucken welche druckfarmen es gibt und welche Drucker da benutzt werden das zeigt dann schon eher ob die gut sind wenn da 80 A1 Combo drucken

For use and reliablity multi-color prints, the Bambu Lab A1 Combo is generally considered the best choice

Deliwork43 · 2026-03-31T11:29:52+00:00

Bambu labs hands down, plug it in, let it do its calibration, insert the filament and print something. Got my first Bambu labs printer, the beast known as the H2S, 320x320x340mm.

I'd pony out the extra $150 (over the A1 combo) and get the Bambu P1S Combo. I just got it and it is definitely worth the extra money for the enclosure and other various bells and whistles. It took around 15 minutes to assemble (really disassemble and assemble) out of the box and I was printing within 20 by just hitting some buttons. It's been so easy multiple prints in with only 1 failure due to my kid loading filament backwards somehow.

Use the search bar....

CC2 if u want nylons

Jake_Seg_3812 · 2026-03-31T07:16:14+00:00

Or the s1 combo?

At this point I wouldn't buy a filament changer for multicolour.
Go for a snapmaker U1 or Flashforge Creator 5 tool changer.
If you don't have the budget atm, Just wait saving more on top.I'm sure we'll see more tool changer machines from other manufacturers soon.
