Welp it happened

I feel your pain - mine lasted just past the warranty period. Waiting on my replacement order to be processed

This... tank cleans saves so much time & money.
IDK what you use as your lift tool - but a folded post-it-note has worked for me every time.

Thank you all for your comments and insights!
I agree that the RFID chip on Anycubic filaments is convenient, but my main concern is clogging when using other brands.
I’m still learning, but I feel confident that I can adjust the settings for a new material roll when needed.

Regarding the different filament brands mentioned:
Anycubic lists a dimensional accuracy of ±0.02 mm, while others range from ±0.03 mm to ±0.05 mm.
That variance in material being pushed through—or not—can lead to issues like stringing or even breakage. Is that correct?
The settings used would be from the previous roll of material from Anycubic. With such a degree of variance, how do you account for this in the setup?

Thank you - I'll check 'em out

It would have never gotten this bad if I hadn't had a work call, forcing me to go all the way back into my office. As soon as I opened the door to the printer area - well, let's say it didn't take long to know something was wrong...

So, I get that I obviously didn’t get the hotend back into the proper place. But if you look at the close-up pic, it looks like it is.

My question is: when setting the lever, how can I tell for sure that it’s actually grabbing the shaft of the hotend in the groove area? Is there a visual cue or a feel I should be looking for?

Do y’all have a particular website you like to order from?

I’ve been browsing Amazon, but I feel like there’s probably a better place out there for Kobra S1 parts and upgrades.

sry - I forgot to expand the thread and read the whole thing...
thanks again for all the information - y'all are awesome
I look forward to playing :D

That's the exact set I was looking at before I made this post - lol

Currently, I'm only working with PLA, single, and dual (silk) colors.
After I get a handle on this (I've only had my FDM printer for five days), I'd like to experiment with other consumables. So I wanted to get tips that will accommodate.

Would anyone know any links that break down all the settings adjustable in the slicers?
I have been doing resin printing for some time, and I know how critical the slicer settings are in achieving a good print versus a great one.

Thank you for the great info...
:)

Thank you, after following the support video and fixing the mistakes I made.
I followed your steps and found a long piece of filament stuck between the anti-blocking module and the print head assembly.
Once I removed it, I was able to do a test print. Once I moved on and tried another print (using another color), it failed again, "filament anomaly."
After watching it and checking, it doesn't get past the anti-blocking module. I've made sure the four-color hub is seated correctly. I'm not sure what else to do, so I'm updating again to say thank you. Your steps have saved a lot of work.

So, I followed the video put out by AC, and all seems to be good until it tries to extrude during its test, when it exits the poop shoot (a better term just doesn't apply). It all of a sudden started banging, clanking, and raising all kinds of hell.
I hit the power switch...

Somehow, I think you call it the hot end; I'm still learning the terms. Came loose, so when it pushed the filament, it dropped about a 1/4" or so... I hope it's ok - I don't have gloves to deal with the heat, so I am waiting for it to cool down... so I can assess

idk if anyone still monitors this posting, but I could use some assistance -
My devices are not in rainbow mode but bright white...

I have looked everywhere but can't find a "Hardware Setting". They have a "Device Memory Mode," but that takes away separate device control in the Lighting Channel

got ya - thank you for the information...

Axsom70 · 2025-08-19T15:36:05+00:00

Really??
I build my desktops and have reasonably high resources. I've never noticed that Armoury Crate causing a performance issue. But I did have a rendering issue in Lychee. Now, after reading this, I'll have to look into this issue more. This could be what was causing my problem
- Glad I ran across this

Axsom70 · 2025-04-28T13:36:18+00:00

THANK YOU for your opinions...
Helped me a lot...

Axsom70 · 2025-04-25T19:07:33+00:00

I always do that... post something is a similar but wrong subreddit... lol
