A1 Combo upgrade next year, P1S Combo or Anycubic Kobra S1 Combo?

I currently have a Bambu Lab A1 Combo, around 3 months old. My wife uses it pretty heavily, and it has been working really well for us so far.

I am thinking about upgrading next year, preferably an enclosed CoreXY machine.

Right now I am mainly considering:

• Bambu Lab P1S Combo
• Anycubic Kobra S1 Combo

Which one would you choose for frequent use?

My priorities are reliability, print quality, easy maintenance, multicolor printing, filament compatibility, and something that does not require constant troubleshooting.

Since we are already familiar with the Bambu ecosystem, the P1S seems like the obvious choice, but the Kobra S1 Combo also looks very interesting for the price.

Anyone here who has used both? I would especially like to hear about long term reliability and how the Kobra S1 compares with Bambu for everyday printing.

Pelican Work Model 15: Initial Review After 1 Day of Use

Finally received my Pelican Work Model 15 on 1st September 2026.

Unfortunately, they initially sent the chair with the wrong mechanism. I think it was probably the mechanism from the Model 11.

While assembling, I noticed the mechanism was not fitting properly under the seat, so I video called their engineer. After seeing it, he immediately confirmed that they had sent the wrong mechanism and told me they would send the correct one the next day.

And yes, I received the correct Model 15 mechanism on 2nd September. So their response and support were actually quite good.

Assembly Experience

This was probably the most frustrating part.

I think Pelican should seriously make a proper assembly video instead of only providing a PDF manual. During my first attempt, I accidentally slid the mechanism under the seat from the wrong side, and it got stuck.

I called the engineer again. He was very polite and helped me assemble the entire chair over a video call.

Still, an official assembly video would be very helpful, especially for small details. For example, the wrong mechanism came with some bolt washers, while the Model 15 mechanism didn't, which can easily confuse someone assembling it for the first time.

Initial Comfort & Ergonomics

Now coming to the actual chair.

I'm still adjusting everything according to my comfort, so this is strictly an initial 1-day review.

The seat cushion is very comfortable. I also really like the seat-depth adjustment, adjustable back height, and lumbar support adjustment.

These adjustments are especially useful because my wife also uses the chair while scrolling on her phone. She likes being able to adjust the back support and seat depth to get better back and under-thigh support.

Armrests

The armrests have plenty of adjustability. Personally, I mostly need the height adjustment, so some of the other adjustments aren't very useful for me right now.

However, the soft material on top of the armrests feels good and seems to be of good quality.

Tilt Mechanism

There is a tilt lock, which I haven't really tested properly yet.

The tilt-tension adjustment, however, works very well for me.

Black vs Tan

I bought the black version because I feel the tan colour might be more prone to getting dirty.

That said, I personally think the tan version looks more beautiful than the black one.

I originally ordered the chair without the headrest, but after using it I'm already thinking about buying the headrest separately.

Initial Scores

Category Score
Ergonomics & Adjustability ⭐⭐⭐⭐ / 5
Seat & Back Comfort ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ / 5
Build Quality & Durability ⭐⭐⭐⭐ / 5
Mechanism Quality ⭐⭐⭐⭐½ / 5
Value for Money ⭐⭐⭐½ / 5

These ratings are only based on my initial use, so they may change after I use the chair for a few weeks.

So far, apart from the wrong mechanism and slightly confusing assembly process, I'm enjoying the chair. The adjustability and seat comfort are definitely the highlights for me.

Update: Ordered the Chair on 10.08.2026 at 24,690 after discount

Looking for an affordable airtight storage box for filament spools.

I was planning to get the Aristo Lock & Fresh 403, but it has been out of stock for the past few days.

Does anyone know of a good alternative available in India? Ideally something that:

. Can fit standard 1 kg filament spools
. Has a reasonably good airtight seal
. Is affordable

Would appreciate any recommendations, especially options available on Amazon/Flipkart or locally.

Thanks!

Numakers PLA+, Bambu Lab PLA Basic or eSUN PLA for Bambu A1?

Hi everyone,

I’m very new to 3D printing and recently bought a Bambu Lab A1.

With the printer I received around 20g of Bambu Lab PLA Basic, and I also purchased a spool of WOL3D PLA Pro Plus.

After printing a couple of models with both, I was quite surprised by the difference.

The Bambu Lab PLA Basic gave me:

  • Very smooth surface finish
  • Clean layer lines
  • Almost no stringing
  • Overall much better looking prints

With the WOL3D PLA Pro Plus, I’m getting noticeably more stringing, and the layer lines are much more visible. The print just doesn’t look as clean as the Bambu filament.

I recently placed an order for Numakers PLA+, but now I’m wondering if I should keep the order or cancel it.

For anyone who has used these filaments on a Bambu Lab A1:

How good is Numakers PLA+? Is it noticeably better than WOL3D PLA Pro Plus?

Or would you recommend cancelling it and buying either:

  • Bambu Lab PLA Basic
  • eSUN PLA+

I don’t mind paying a little more if it means more consistent prints and less tweaking, especially since I’m still a beginner.

Would really appreciate recommendations from people who have actually used Numakers on a Bambu A1.

Thanks!

Where do you buy good TPU filament in India for Bambu Lab A1?

Hi everyone,

I recently purchased a Bambu Lab A1 and have been having a lot of fun with it so far. I bought a few PLA filaments from Numakers, and they’ve been working well.

Now I want to try printing with TPU, but unfortunately Numakers doesn’t seem to sell TPU on their website.

Where do you usually buy reliable TPU filament?

Any specific brands or websites you’d recommend?

Thanks!

Featherlite Helix at ₹28.9k: worth it over Steelcase Personality Plus or Pelican Model 15?

My local Featherlite store quoted me ₹28,900 for the Helix High Back after a 10% discount.

At this price, is it still a good deal, or should I consider Steelcase Personality Plus or Pelican Work Model 15 instead? All three are within roughly the same budget.

Main priorities are long-sitting comfort, ergonomics, build quality and after-sales service.

Which one would you pick and why?

Steelcase Personality Plus at ₹25.6K - Good Deal?

Hi everyone,

I just ordered a Steelcase Personality Plus for ₹25,600 from Flipkart. The seller is Uplyift.

https://dl.flipkart.com/s/UTZSSouuuN

Does anyone know if this is a genuine/original Steelcase product? More importantly, will I get the proper Steelcase manufacturer warranty (12-year coverage where applicable), or is this one of those marketplace listings where warranty can become an issue?

If anyone has purchased a Steelcase chair from Uplyift before, I’d really appreciate hearing about your experience with.

Confused between Vergo Icon, Featherlite Helix, Godrej Motion and Sleep Company Tranquo: need advice

Hi everyone, hope you’re doing well.

For the past few days, I’ve been searching for a good ergonomic chair within a budget of around ₹20,000.

Initially, I was planning to buy the SuperErgo The Specialist. I checked several Pepperfry stores but couldn’t find a demo unit anywhere. Later, I dropped the idea after reading concerns about the company’s reliability and after-sales support.

My current shortlist is:

  1. Vergo Icon https://vergo.online/products/icon-mesh-chair
  2. Featherlite Helix https://www.amazon.in/Featherlite-Helix-HB-Office-Chair/dp/B08PPBYL4W I’m not sure whether this model has been discontinued.
  3. Godrej Interio Motion https://interio.com/product/motion-mesh-full-back-knitted-fabric-workstation-chair-56101522SD04834
  4. The Sleep Company Tranquo I tested this chair today at one of their Experience Centres. I originally went there to try the Flex, but they told me it has been discontinued and suggested the Tranquo instead. The quoted price is approximately ₹22,500 after discount.

I’m now extremely confused about which one to choose.

My usage is around 5–6 hours per day, mainly work from home, browsing and some light gaming. My height is around 5'8" and my weight is approximately 78 kg.

I currently use a Green Soul Eva and a cheap local ergonomic chair that became uncomfortable within a few months, so seat comfort, cushioning, durability and after-sales support are important to me.

Has anyone used these chairs for a long period? Which one would you recommend, and are there any major drawbacks I should know about?

I can stretch my budget slightly above ₹20,000 only if the upgrade is genuinely worthwhile.
