Over the past weeks I have dis- and reassembled my printer so many times that I am close to losing my mind.

A few minutes ago, while doing the latest round of diagnostics on my opened printhead, I had the idea to take the challenge with a bit of humor. And suddenly a dozen of book titles and covers came into my mind. And I must admit - this helped to keep me sane!

These are the titles that came into my mind 😂

- 11511 11512

- Screw You

- Insides Cobra Head

- I will break you

- How to Ruin a Marriage

- How NOT To Waste Filament with 3D Printing

- A Guide for Hobby Enthusiasts: The Cobra S1 Technician 101

- Supportive Desaster
- The Act of Goodwill

- The Clog
- The Pendulum
With exclusive insights in chapter: When the Spring Sprung into the Filament Waste Bin
- The Sonsors
- The Clog II
- The Loop of repairs

- Strain Gauge Engagement

- Cable Management

- SOLDER ME

Any other ideas?

Has anyone ever encountered the following issue?

The filament gets transported just to the end of the PTFE and then is stops and won't enter the print head?
Any advice is welcome. Thanks!

The overall trend this year is going towards tool changers, poop avoidance and bigger printers.
What I am desperately waiting for is a smaller and portable printer. One I can bring with me to friends to print sth. they need. One for easy and cost effective prototyping. A second printer that fits into my small apartment where I do not have the space for a second big machine.
I own a Kobra S1 combo and I think it is overkill to use such a machine for smaller parts.
Does anyone else favor a printer in the A1 mini size? But with decent 2026 technology and fro
Anycubic?
Which features would you be looking for?
