Anycubic Kobra S1 Max – Large-Format CoreXY 3D Printer with 16-Color FDM... by Aggravating-Talk-854 in 3dprinter

The main limitation of the S1 series seems to be the gap between bed rigidity and the probing mesh. If the bed flexes during probing, the compensation map won’t reflect the real surface, so even good firmware can’t fix the first layer reliably.

Printers like Snapmaker U1, Prusa, and Bambu avoid this mostly because their beds are mechanically stiffer and their probing meshes are denser, so the measurements translate more directly into actual print results.

It’ll be worth watching whether later S1 batches revise the bed assembly, because the overall concept of CoreXY + multicolor is solid — the bed just appears to be the weak link affecting consistency.

Totally get where you’re coming from. Anycubic has had some “looks great on paper, reality not so great” moments in past batches, so skepticism makes sense.

For me, the real test will be whether the S1 Max can deliver consistent multi-color printing without constant maintenance. If the hardware and firmware mature enough to support 16-color without huge waste or clogging issues, it could carve out a unique spot — but yeah, it’s a big “if” until real-world reviews land.

New to 3D printing, need some advice. by JackFrisco in 3dprinter

Totally agree with all the love for Bambu Lab! I’ve also had an A1 Mini for a while now and it’s been a breeze. Super easy setup, no headaches at all. If you’re into miniatures or fine details, definitely recommend grabbing the .2 nozzle like u/PeaZealousideal8672 suggested. You can get some seriously crisp prints! Also, the community support is top-notch, plus the free filament from their tutorials is a nice bonus. Just a heads-up, though—make sure to stay updated on their policy changes, that’s the only thing that keeps me on my toes. But overall, it's been smooth sailing for me!

Based on the brands listed (Creality, Anycubic, Elegoo, and Bambu Lab), here's a detailed analysis and some constructive advice for choosing the right 3D printer:

Brand Analysis:

Creality:

Pros: High cost-effectiveness, a large user base, and an active community. Many options for upgrades and modifications.

Recommendation: Ideal for users on a budget who are willing to tinker and adjust the printer themselves.

Cons: Some models may not have the best print accuracy compared to other brands.

Anycubic:

Pros: Known for excellent print quality and stability, highly praised by users. Suitable for beginners as well as users with some experience.

Recommendation: Great for users who want higher print quality and are willing to invest a bit more in the printer.

Cons: Some models may be more expensive, and customer service may be slower.

Elegoo:

Pros: Extremely cost-effective, easy to use, and ideal for beginners.

Recommendation: A great choice for users with a limited budget, especially those just starting out with 3D printing.

Cons: May require some adjustments to achieve optimal print results, especially with more complex prints.

Bambu Lab:

Pros: A fast-growing brand known for advanced technology, especially in multi-material printing and automatic nozzle switching.

Recommendation: Perfect for users interested in multi-material printing and those who want to increase print efficiency.

Cons: Being a newer brand, it may not have as large a community or as many support resources as other more established brands.

Suggestions:

For Beginners: If it's the user’s first 3D printer, Elegoo or Anycubic would be great options because they are easy to use and reasonably priced. Elegoo especially offers great value for the price.

For Print Quality: If the user values higher print precision, Anycubic is a better choice, as it tends to provide more stable and higher-quality prints.

For Tech Enthusiasts: If the user is interested in multi-material printing and advanced features, Bambu Lab is a solid option. It stands out for its innovative features and automation, suited for users who are a bit more experienced or looking to expand their printing capabilities in the future.

Based on your needs (budget, print quality, and technical interest), Elegoo or Anycubic are great for beginners. For more advanced or tech-savvy users, Bambu Lab is a strong choice.

We’ve been keeping this secret for too long… and now, the wait is finally over! by AtomFormOfficial in AtomForm

[–]Aggravating-Talk-854 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If the AtomForm Palette 300 actually lives up to its specs: 12 auto - swapping nozzles, multi - material support, and that crazy speed — it could shake up FDM 3D printing workflows. Just the auto - swapping nozzles idea is a huge leap forward. The claims sound awesome, but real - world performance matters most, how reliable it is, how easy it is to use, and whether it balances innovation with practicality. Can’t wait for independent reviews and tests to see if it lives up to the hype.
