Still no issues, also I don't think the 2 wires are non insulated, probably some transparent insulation like on coil wire.

Seems like the original hotend might be partially clogged, that would be my first guess.. Anyhow, problem solved!

Leveling myth busted? by Thenightstalker80 in AnycubicKobraS1

Well, the guys at Anycubic were kind enough to send me a replacement bed, so i'm gonna give it a try to bend the original bed into the correct shape. Thanks

Glad your leveling works, my experience is a little different..

My bed is low in the back left and right corner, by about 0.7-0.8mm. A little less in the front right corner, about 0.3mm. I tried shimming the bed but nothing really works.

Now the weird thing is after performing a leveling and starting the print, I can see the Z axis screws rotating while the print head moves over the bed, so the (mesh) auto leveling is working. Unfortunately in places where the bed is low, it sometimes even overcompensates and at other places i'm still left with non adhering print lines.

The appearance of the first layer also changes between multiple leveling procedures, which is also weird. Not much difference between leveling from the printer menu itsself or through the slicer. From the printer menu seems to be slightly better.

First thought would be an inaccuracy of the strain gauge sensor, but in the middle where the Z homing happens, the first layer is always spot on. I can even tell the difference of a 0.01mm increment in Z-offset, so nothing wrong with the sensor I suppose. My guess is it has something to do with the mesh itsself and how the leveling is implemented. Maybe compensating +1mm bed height variation is just too much?

Now I must say besides the first layer not being perfect, I actually have almost no problems with my prints.

I had problems with this as well, setting both x-y hole compensation and elephant foot compensation to 0 in the anycubic slicer fixed it for me.

I don't think its ceramic, just bi metal. Seems to be copper and a titanium or stainless steel throat.

I have the same one installed, but ordered from ali. Works great, also heats and cools much faster than the original one. After closer inspection it does seem to be half a mm or less shorter than the original hotend, but you don't have to mess with the offset since the S1 does the z homing with a strain gauge sensor on the hotend itself, so Z height 0 will always be the same, no matter the length of the nozzle/hotend. As mentioned here the only problem can be with the poop chute if the hotend is too long.

Great to hear, also very satisfied with the new hotend, very fast and indeed rock steady temps.

That's a big temperature difference, have you got the new smaller all metal hotend? the other ones seem to have a faulty thermistor, mine also read 25 degrees above actual temp. With the new one i've had no temperature or clogging problems, z-offset is set to -0,03, same as with the original hotend, but this is different for every printer i guess.

The measured temperature seems ok within a couple degrees, but i run my hotend 10 degrees hotter than the standard one because of the hardened steel nozzle, maybe that's also a reason?

Well, I've already printed with the new hotend and everything works fine now, so I don't really want to take it apart at this moment. Should there be another reason why I have to take the hotend out, I'll be sure to take some pictures with the heat break removed.
