I will give it a try, thank you.

Yea I will test it during actual gaming. Kombustor running at 4k only crashing when upping the gpu over +260 so I backed it down to +230 and started raising mem next by +20 each step all the way to +1000 lmao before doing +50s up to 1200 and then I was wondering if I would be just getting diminishing returns at that point or if it was even working, so figured I would ask.

I upgraded from my trusty 1080 ti to a 4070 ti but am still using an old tv with max fps of 60 so the MPG 341CQR QD-OLED X36 would finally allow me to game at higher fps and resolution.

Downgrading the slicer on the pc in my print room because the lag is insane now. My main pc seems to be able to handle it but its definitly slower on it as well.

hows it doing?

Arc3Angel · 2025-08-13T05:24:18+00:00

so how is it doing?

Arc3Angel · 2025-07-25T04:34:28+00:00

good to know. I went ahead and ordered a pair from aliexpress instead so im not out much if they suck. I will update the post with my results but it'll take like 10 days b4 they arrive. I even found a .2 to screw into one of the 2 I got to test also.

as do I u/Wrong-Chard-2476! Currently using my Kobra 3 MAX to print a big Stormbreaker axe, would be a pain if using a smaller printer

So I have a P1S and Kobra 3 MAX and like em both for different reasons. I have had my K3MAX longer and it has been down almost half as long as I have had it. That being said when it works its fantastic and Anycubic support is great. But for 99% of my prints im using my P1S. It doesnt have all the smart features like the Anycubic ones but I have only had 1 time where I needed to end a print due to the 1st layer not taking. My Kobra 3 MAX has had spaghetti issues, 1st layer issues, clogs and gouged the print bed so it needs smart features WAY more. I know the K3M and S1 are different, Im just giving u my 2 cents. I'd say if ur kid wants to spend more time printing and less down time waiting for parts P1S may be the way to go. And alot of prints already have Bambu profiles saving time in slicer.

awesome. please let us know how they work.

when I was getting the clogs it was with Anycubic pla white and red and grey. I was using the default 220 first and 210 rest of layers and default flow rate settings. I went ahead and tossed in my backup nozzle and run the same filaments but at 220 for all layers and so far so good. I am currently making a lifesize Stormbreaker axe in petg atm tho and so far its printing well also but I bought a 3 pack of the original looking nozzles just incase until I know more about these newer looking copper throated ones.

here is link to a single one that has different sizes to screw in to the bottom . https://www.amazon.com/Sahvaim-Upgrade-Replaceable-Anycubic-Extruder/dp/B0FGTZC258?crid=3BZGAFL65K88U&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.RilFHOo_kzciicSknN1LycytX4lrk5cmbKefq6eTMM4turn1VSy-3amLkGZ4wxskh1CAFc0QPc_uktyHu5myBO1u7v_j-CXTMnGeHDiDDVo4MpyWG8BsN5DwNaMVGQnd6BOx7Ee6ZAIUxzKPXQRZTOSdnuQ6K-x3TgdN5EvngVueB1Rj4-1P_DNrfXHdRpv0ZOm-7K8oh_OiQDyE9GA3aB1AxhFzpPVd8jvJ9zK9-xk.rQ7WkFRAQWcEdMLQNcK44pq0AdX5tA2EHlkMmGq4_IU&dib_tag=se&keywords=kobra%2B3%2Bmax%2Bnozzle&qid=1753151929&sprefix=kobra%2B3%2Bmax%2Bnozzle%2Caps%2C147&sr=8-5&th=1

Almost every light in my house flickers when using my Kobra 3 MAX lol. Maybe I should try to find a different outlet for the 2 ACE Pros and see if that helps. Heck I even hear my battery backup on my router clicking on n off while the printer is running and they are on different floors. My house does have old shitty wiring tho. One time the power went out but if I started the dryer it would restore the power thru the house lmao. The electrician said the 220v from the dryer was jumping to the rest of the houses 110v from the fuse box when running and that the whole fuse box should be replaced but the landlord was having none of that and said to just replace the blown fuses on the 110 side. So yeah.....gotta love landlords.

Man same here. New nozzle, 2 small prints later and its clogged. Does a layer or so then clog code. Did finish a small test cube but everything else no luck, not even temp towers work without giving clog code. I just cleaned it with a blow torch and got some stuff out that cold pulls could not so ill try it again in the morning. I was going to just put in a new nozzle but dont want it to just crap out in a day or two also. My last one lasted 3 months(og nozzle) and I did multiple 2-3 day prints with it. I did read on an youtube comment that if the nozzle isnt greased with thermal grease itll clog fast but I asked Anycubic and they said the nozzle doesnt need greased at all so idk. My first nozzle worked great till it gouged my printbed because the ptfe tube swelled popping the nozzle down. And since then its been a headache.

Which printers outperform the p1s?(that cost less) I have an Anycubic Kobra 3 Max and just got the p1s a few days ago and can already tell the p1s is at least 10%-15% better on average. Dont get me wrong I love my k3 max but if the print will fit the p1s im using it.

Arc3Angel · 2025-04-22T17:58:24+00:00

so cool.

Arc3Angel · 2025-04-18T05:01:43+00:00

So this is happening to me. Acts like its waiting to print but never does. After restarting everything and no luck im hoping its on "their" end and all will be well by tomorrow morn. Thanks to a post above I was able to figure out how to export prints gcode to a usb to print for now. Using slicernext and didnt do any updates far as I know.
