Just my luck. Got the unit and first power on greets me with this. It seems I get to experience the support immediately.
Also the zip ties to the print head were broken or cut already and the Fan / Filter unit seems to be very loose.
I don't see anything about this silicone part thats included in the extra materials, so what is it for? Thanks in advance!
I messaged Anycubic because my tracking info sat with zero updates for the past 40 days. I ordered December 1st and have seen countless posts of people that got theirs that ordered months after me. Support said sorry and that they’ll send a “replacement”. No offer for any compensation of any kind. If I never messaged them, I don’t think they’d ever contact me about it or ever send my order. Not impressed.
I have had the regular kobra S1 combo since last may. I have not had problems with it and have put over 250 hours on it now. I want to order the Max now that it is back in stock. I was thinking about selecting the +4 rolls of ASA. I have not printed it before but I know I want to use it over PLA/PETG for certain projects and see how it goes. Do they just ship you completely random colors or can you message anycubic to try and request specific colors? What has been your experience so far with the Max and printing the higher temp filaments?
I paid $649 for my non combo machine (Still waiting for it) and I see its on sale for $599 for 3000 units. So I figured I'd ask for an adjustment. The response I got was a bit troublesome. Apparently I paid an extra $50 for an amazing FREE gift of 2 rolls of PLA!
Now that we finally have our printers, has anyone received anything about the accessories and extra filament they ordered, mine still just sitting on the site "back ordered"
I got tired of tracking filament with spreadsheets and random notes, so I started building my own Android app for it 😄
It’s called rocchetto and it’s focused on making filament management actually useful during the real printing workflow.
Current features:
The app is still in beta and currently completely FREE because I’m trying to find bugs, improve the UI/UX, and understand what makers actually want before release.
At the moment it’s Android only.
I’m looking for some testers from the community 👀
If you’d like to try it, just leave a comment and I’ll contact you in DM with the beta access link.
You can also see the project showcase here:

After a few weeks of printing with the Kobra S1 Max, I ended up designing a full set of practical upgrades focused on airflow, maintenance, waste management, filament routing and overall usability.
Just functional improvements that actually make the machine nicer to live with.
Here’s the collection so far:

Everything was designed around:
clean installation
printability without exotic settings
functional improvements first
OEM-style integration
Most parts are optimized for PLA/PETG/ASA/ABS where it actually matters thermally.
If anyone has ideas for additional S1 Max upgrades, I’m already prototyping more mods.
The machine is good stock. But like every 3D printer ever made… it gets significantly better after the community starts fixing things.
I haven't even got mine and it already is on sale😃
I am tempted to cancel and order cheaper 😃
Hola! Ayer instalé mi Kobra S1 Max y, tras solucionar un problema con el eje Z durante la calibración porque el eje trasero no estaba bien encajado en la guía de plástico y se bloqueó (os recomiendo estar pendientes de eso), he realizado las primeras impresiones. El caso es que estaba buscando algún diseño de recolector de desechos del cambio de filamento, pero solo encuentro para la S1 normal. ¿Alguien tiene alguno?
Muchas gracias!
It finally arrived.
Location EU Belgium order done on 27 november.
Thing is heavy.
Ik al seeing a lot of warped fronts???? What's up with that?
Apparently my desk needed traffic management
I realized most desk organizers are either:
- too small
- too bulky
- impossible to reconfigure
- or just aesthetic filament traps
So I made a modular angled organizer for the stuff I actually use daily:
- markers
- pens
- precision tools
- hobby knives
- rulers
- notebooks
- small accessories
The angled layout ended up being surprisingly useful because everything stays visible instead of disappearing into deep vertical containers.
Also:
less desk chaos = more actual work getting done.
Probably.
Printed as a compact modular system so sections can evolve depending on your setup.
Now I’m curious:
what’s the most overcrowded area on your desk right now?
I had a new issue yesterday. It happened on the very first layer of the print, so the only thing lost was time. I started a print with AI detection on, auto filament change on, and a spare spool in the ACE. There was very little filament left on the first spool and I probably should have just tossed it, but the auto filament change has been seamless so I thought nothing of it. I started the print and went to bed.
This time, the filament ran out half way through the first layer but the printer never detected that the filament was out and did not auto change. Instead, it continued to "print" with no filament. I awoke to a print complete message and a single layer of a print.
I'm not too worried about the auto switching but the printer failing to detect the filament running out is a little disheartening. Anyone else seeing this and how often would you say it happens? I would hate for this to happen near the end of a multi-day print.
I missed the shipping notification email 2 days ago and it's about a month earlier than expected with the latest shipping info.
This is EU warehouse, ordered on Jan 26th or so... Was set for a June 10th delivery when i last chcked. I'm taking the early delivery of course. Gonna spend some time setting it up later today and am happily answering questions if anyone has them.
Are these still shipping with the silly bean bag or have they upgraded to a HEPA/Activated Charcoal filter?
Honestly once they do a something like this, it will be a big win. All the competitors do it
Printed a 1st layer test to dial in offset of a new PC roll, came back to the door open and shroud on the floor warped.
1st day of usage:
Tested PLA, nearly perfect print, stock profile
Tested PETG, 9 pf 10 prints had issues, stock and modified profiles, need further calibration. Same model and profile on the kobra X, prints flawlessly
1st printhead clog, broken filament within the head, unclogged it surprising easy (3 screws, managed to catch broken filament with tweezers)
Slow start, purges filament 4 times, no problem in poop channel
Prints faster than kobra X but def louder (much)
No free spools included (for the delay), i need to send email
A bit disappointed for petg but i have high hopes
