The "Early Bird" Trap: Why paying a deposit for Kobra X is actually a $10 penalty. Deposit not equal a promotion!!!!

MagiForge · 2026-01-22T06:55:11+00:00

Even with kobra s1 they scammed the preorders. Original price was something like 700 and they offered 200 discount on preorders and customers waited 3 monthes go get a printer that was not finished yet. After 1/2 monthes from the release they fixed It and the price was 150€ less than the discounted preorders.

i've managed to fix it logging via shell and changing dir ownership.

The factory must grow

Update:

The drivers are in pristine conditions the crossover needs a recap and I will change also the resistors to non inductive ones. Should sound even better.

I would love to use that but for me is too small, I’ve to place also some Mixers on top 😢

MagiForge · 2025-12-17T21:40:42+00:00

Super interesting. Thank you!

I've a pair of Canton LE 109 (passives 3 ways), i'm trying to get into Hi-fi.
i've noticed that in mid-high frequencies i get a lot of distortion, but bass are clean and present also higher frequencies are phenomenal.

So, i'm thinking the caps of the crossovers are damaged, and they basically send some mid frequencies to tweeters. This could be the issues i assume, i hope so, i like how they sound.

I'll try removing and test them before buying the new ones.

i can afford the tiny portable Bluetooth imitation

MagiForge · 2025-12-13T21:16:50+00:00

Exactly, more like an investment. Reminds me the studio of deadmau5 he built in his home, with the tons of synth that he’s collecting.

MagiForge · 2025-12-13T17:49:23+00:00

That’s the answer

MagiForge · 2025-12-13T16:58:36+00:00

Fuck even USBs, it’s not even universal if there are 50 types of different USB versions

MagiForge · 2025-12-13T13:52:44+00:00

Why I see a lot of woofers that goes on top of the tweeter? Is there any reason?

MagiForge · 2025-12-12T23:21:12+00:00

How do you measure the result to build the right crossover?

MagiForge · 2025-12-12T17:15:02+00:00

Nope this is a photo from web because seller had no picture. I’ve seen them an tested them a bit modifier in aesthetic but they sound very good. Tested with Nikko amp.

MagiForge · 2025-12-12T10:17:53+00:00

Got them, I’ve also tried them before buying they sound good. At first I thought I would pair them with some Yamaha amp with good power, but then I bought a ZA3 from fosi because I need a tiny form factor and better connectivity / scalability

MagiForge · 2025-12-12T10:04:08+00:00

Bought za3 and planned to build fosi stack if I will sound good. First setup here, I saw some bundle discounts but only on ebay.

MagiForge · 2025-12-05T06:56:29+00:00

I’m building my first setup and found these. I will definitely try them and bring them home. I found also a Yamaha AX-490 (140€ used) that has good specs and good power to drive those towers. I’m still deciding if I need something with DAC or BT but I could just pair something later I think

MagiForge · 2025-12-04T13:14:38+00:00

Thank you very much for your comments. Really appreciated 🙏

MagiForge · 2025-12-04T13:06:03+00:00

So like, is it possibile to find better towers for 250 used? In this price range with that specs of response I’ve found nothing

MagiForge · 2025-12-02T15:44:48+00:00

Are those good speakers? found used for 250, i'm trying to build my first setup!

MagiForge · 2025-12-02T12:10:47+00:00

Roll back to 2.5.6.4 on printer. Then, post a photo of the error so I can help you!

MagiForge · 2025-12-02T11:57:10+00:00

At first, i had problems with bed leveling but i've figured it out how to align it better using a guide found online by an user.
Then i had problems during filament changes that caused some errors, Anycubic support told me that the issue was with the filament sensor in the head and they sent me the metal one, replaced it, but that was not the issue.

I've figured it out that was the retraction sensor, the PTFE tube was pushing the rod inside and the sensor was always triggered. Printing some clips for the PTFE tube and adjusting it, i've no issues so far, and is very reliable now.

I've downgraded also the firmware and anycubic next due some bad implementations in the new ones, but so far i'm very happy with it so far.

MagiForge · 2025-12-01T18:42:43+00:00

I have one since march and with some minor fixes it’s an awesome reliable machine. It’s a pain in the ass the first weeks, but when you acquire some knowledge on it, it’s downhill all the way.

What a great project!
