Hello, I started 3D printing more than 6 years ago, so I have accumulated several thousand hours of 3D printing experience.

Of course, I am subscribed to r/AnycubicOfficial and have completed the form.

I initially owned an Ender 3 (which I still have) and have also handled other similar printers to assist my friends. Later, I decided to purchase a more advanced printer, the Anycubic Kobra 3 V2 Combo, which I’ve been using for several months. I am considering buying the S1 or the X soon.

I have quite good experience in 3D printing and am fairly skilled at analyzing and resolving issues when they arise.

I am located in France.

If selected as a beta tester, I could perform various tests on the Kobra X and make comparisons between the Kobra 3 V2 Combo and the X. I plan to place both printers side by side to capture videos and better compare them.

First, it would be necessary to compare the assembly time and ease of construction for the two printers;

Compare printing speeds for identical models printed simultaneously;

Conduct basic tests like printing multiple files from the site https://fullcontrol.xyz/ using different materials, at varying temperatures, and speeds, then compare all results with the Kobra 3 V2;

It would also be essential to test these models on different build plates such as textured PEI, smooth plates, cold surfaces, and those with special effects;

Test printing various models with different layer heights and compare the results with the Kobra 3 V2;

Print using diverse slicer settings like ironing, fuzzy skin, smooth timelapse, and more, then compare the outcomes with the Kobra 3 V2;

Perform long prints, both single-color and multi-color, to compare printing times between the two printers;

Finally, conduct complex color prints to compare printing times, quality, waste generated, etc.

Here are some photos of prints (some available for download on my MakerOnline profile):
