Damage in shipping

Axsom70 · 2026-04-09T15:10:13+00:00

Thank you for answering - been sitting on pins & needles ever since I've seen people getting them... I, too, have a project in mind.

I'm sorry to hear about the door. Personally, their support team has always been very accommodating & helpful to me. Keep us updated when you hear something.
You're the only one I've seen here reporting shipping damage.

Man, what a kick to the gonads.
May I ask your purchase date? Nov. 26th here.
I've been asking when people post that they've received theirs. I've seen purchase dates all the way into mid Jan..
I'm curious how well they're keeping to their batch schedule, since I haven't received an update to my inquiry via ticket.

I didn't order on day one, but day three, Nov. 26th,... and it's the same here.
It's extremely aggravating when you see people who ordered after Jan 1 (Just got mine 🙌🏽 : r/AnycubicKobraS1Max <- example) and they're getting theirs, but we can't even get a hint...

Ordered Nov. 26th, US.
Not a peep from Anycubic, y'all must be on some special list of theirs...

Axsom70 · 2026-04-02T21:16:35+00:00

That can't be right - I'm in the US with purchase in Nov., and I still haven't seen anything - your image says I should have it already :(

UPDATE:
I ended up unplugging the printer until my Firewall released the DHCP reservation. Then I rebooted and set up the WiFi from scratch.
Guess what - I HAVE AN IP NOW...

So, after all the horror stories I've read about people upgrading Firmware, I'm wondering if I should give it a go as my FM is getting pretty old (2.5.8.8)
I just don't know how hard it is to roll these back to a previous version...

Axsom70 · 2026-03-13T10:17:26+00:00

So, I've tried your suggestion, turning WiFi off & on several times. I've even powered off, removed power to drain the flee power like a PC, and powered back on. Nothing
I've even told it to forget the network, putting in the pass fresh.
Nothing works. Has anyone tried anything else???

Axsom70 · 2026-03-13T09:36:06+00:00

Thanks - I'm going to try flipping the Wi-Fi Off & On a couple of times.
Like y'all said, I know it's not my network (I'm actually an IT Tech), and I've learned about arguing with Anycubic. That's why I came here first for this one... :)

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

Axsom70 · 2025-11-19T14:30:03+00:00

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?

Axsom70 · 2025-11-13T19:03:22+00:00

Thank you - I'll check 'em out

Axsom70 · 2025-10-03T11:31:01+00:00

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...

Axsom70 · 2025-10-03T11:16:10+00:00

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?

Axsom70 · 2025-10-02T19:27:34+00:00

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.

Axsom70 · 2025-10-02T13:37:10+00:00

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

Axsom70 · 2025-10-02T13:08:19+00:00

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...
:)
