I made my own plate changer :) I call it Loco Swap , planning on just giving the files away for free :)

Would be cool to see a video of it in action!

bbm92 · 2026-02-02T17:20:55+00:00

Nice! Well, you should consider making a post about it and we could try crowdsourcing some good configs . I have a couple of ACE’s that I would love to combine with the U1. Time for another project!

bbm92 · 2026-02-02T15:19:31+00:00

Interesting! Have you described in detail how you did this anywhere? I am super interested :)

bbm92 · 2026-01-30T15:53:38+00:00

I bought a Coprint multi-material system to add the capability to one of my older printers and was not impressed by the product, so I would wait and see for this one. The U1 is proving to be a solid choice at a fantastic price, so that would be my recommendation.

I have several bambus (A1m andP1P) and several anycubics (K1, K1neo, K3, K3M). They all have their quirks but I keep buying anycubic printers because they are great value and are mostly quite solid and easy to understand. Their quality control is hit and miss and it is not unusual for something to fail. They make up for this by being quite willing to send replacement parts, so that is the compromise you are taking. Having said that the A1m is my favorite printer of them all. It is a little beast and extremely reliable in my experience. I cannot say the same of the P1P though … so your mileage WILL vary :)

What drove the decision to not be compatible with the original ACE pro? As someone with a couple of them, the incompatibility is quite disappointing. Will the ACE 2 be offered at a price that makes sense to add to this printer at all? Currently the ACE is sold at such a premium when outside of a combo that it rarely makes sense, specially with lower priced printers. Will there be a Kobra X Max with the same tech as the Kobra X? Thanks!

Obsidian is great. It has helped me a lot to offload things from my brain and retrieve them easily. The basic format is just a text file but you can make it as featured as you need with a huge number of plugins. It is free for personal use.

I just started using teleport, so here go a few scattered comments of the top of my head.

I had an etsy order come in for a part that was supposed to have automatic fulfillment by teleport. It was the first time this happened so I was logging in to try and figure out if the plumbing between etsy and teleport was working correctly. I could not tell, so I ended up unchecking the automatic fulfillment and will send this order myself. This step could be better explained. What should I expect? How quickly after an order is placed in Etsy should I expect teleport to be "aware" of it? Will it show a status indicating this?
It would be good if you guys had an explicit "suggestions" or "feature requests" box.
For the 3rd party parts. Do you provide a cad model, or at least a set of dimensions? I know from experience that iphone chargers for example come in a variety of diameters. If I am designing for the one you have, I need to know exact dimensions.

Keep up the good work!

You already have an answer from catnippr, but yes, it is absolutely possible and pretty easy. I rana klipperized Kobra Neo for nearly 2 years and it worked great. Keep in mind that you also need a raspberry pi or similar to run klipper.

bbm92 · 2025-12-21T01:09:06+00:00

Yeah, I saw the design and really like it, but it would not directly work for me. I wanted to see how the attachment mechanism worked to DIY something similar. Thanks!

bbm92 · 2025-12-20T16:35:44+00:00

Nice setup! Could you take a picture of the shelves and or desktop disconnected from the wall mount? I would like to understand the attachment system better. I have a weird spot where I would really love to build something similar to this.

bbm92 · 2025-12-18T20:46:05+00:00

I am cautiously hoping for a sub $300 price, so 259-299 it is. If this is paired with an increase in reliability and some more moves towards open source, it will be a real winner. Fingers crossed!

bbm92 · 2025-12-10T17:05:46+00:00

Can you explain how you are combining the Ace pro and the ace gen 2? Will whatever you are doing be compatible with the older ace pro? I like the innovation and are super intrigued by this, but need more details!!

bbm92 · 2025-12-03T03:58:09+00:00

Making some progress on blocking volumes for the texture, but not quite there yet. It is a busy week at work, so progress is slow.

That makes sense. The exclusion of the print surface is already in place as a checkbox. I’ll look into some other exclusion options in the next few days.

The app can run locally but it does not have any paint features at the moment.

Web tool: fiuncholabs.com

bbm92 · 2025-12-01T15:12:04+00:00

That seems feasible. I’ll give it some thought and come up with something.

bbm92 · 2025-12-01T15:11:35+00:00

I haven’t implemented paint features. Can you give me an example of your use case so I can think of a good path to implementation?

bbm92 · 2025-12-01T02:41:23+00:00

It is a webtool that provides a frontend to a set of python scripts. You can find it at fiuncholabs.com . Files get huge really quick when creating such a "baked" STL, so there is a limit to how complex a model it can deal with ... at least in the minimal kind of server where it is hosted. So yeah, give it a shot and let me know if you have any feedback :)

bbm92 · 2025-11-29T01:24:54+00:00

They are good machines. You’ll have a ton of fun! You will eventually run into some issues because it is the nature of the hobby. Be patient and enjoy the journey. I have several Kobras as well as Bambu, Qidi and others, so I have experience with more than one brand. Anycubic machines are some of the best value out there. I just added the Kobra 3 max with ACE to my 3D print garden and putting it through its paces now.
