Anycubic Kobra X PETG print issues

Anycubic Kobra X PETG print issues

I have a BRAND NEW Anycubic Kobra X. And I've not had the greatest time.

I was told it should come with a Benchy but it didn't. NBD. Printed the first Benchy I found, in PLA+, no problems. (It was huge but printed fine)

So I needed a new basket for my ice maker. I found it here: https://www.printables.com/model/304473-magic-chef-ice-maker-replacement-basket/files

Doing a bit of research, I found a food safe PETG that would work. So I swapped the nozzle for another 0.4mm nozzle and fed the tube with the new filiment. I told the printer what the filiment was ( https://a.co/d/05LeDCya ), I loaded the model into the mobile app and it print. It shoved some spaghetti at my computer a few times (a basket for that will be my next print) and it started printing. But making the circles at the bottom, it wasn't sticking to the plate. I installed the Anycubic slicer and started playing with settings. Claude said the print speed was too fast. After 2hrs of trying to figure out what speed setting I needed to change and nothing different happening, I went to bed.

This morning I clean the plate with some iso pads and load the last model the slicer made. But now it won't print at all. On my last attempt, I could see that the print head looks like it's clogged. I have some chores to do and I'll go back and try to unclog it, but how do I get this thing to actually print?

It all went fine until this height, then it was released from the bed and moved around

What could be the reason? It all went fine until half of the model. Then it suddenly became loose.

Severe layer shifts y axis

I googled and googled but I can't find the right tension on the red front screws I've tried the guitar method, the one where you fully tighten them and then a full rotation loosen, still didn't work, then I tried software which I am using anycubic next, which haven't caused troubles before. It started with files I have been printing multiple times before the issue so I don't think it's in software but I redid all the files anyway. Still nothing then as a final resort i tried tensioning the red front screws again when I noticed the brownish dust as well as rustlooking debris on one of the left rails see pictures could this be the cause or am I totally on a sidetrack? Any help is greatly appreciated 🙏🙏

Broken wires on printer fan socket

I have an Anycubic Kobra S1.

My last print job malfunctioned and it kicked the cover off the print head. When it did, it broke the wires on the socket the fan plugs into. You can see the socket still plugged into the fan jack in the attached photo.

What part do I need to replace and are there schematics showing me how to take apart the print head so I can install the replacement?

Trouble with old Anycubic Wash & Cure Plus V0.

I just got this from a fella that never got to use this much and I'm having trouble with it. The wash feature works just fine but the cure is out of whack. The turntable will stutter in place when I try to use it but the lights work fine. Any help would be appreciated as its a beast of a machine and I want to use it.

Is there supposed to be screws here?

The two holes by the vertical axis have no screws in them? On the other side it has 2. Am I missing some here?

Next v Orca slicer

I just have the same .3mf file sliced on Next and on Orca and the print times were about 4 hours different. I am still new to this, but can someone help explain why?

Let's see if the second ones any better

Maybe the first one was a dud. Let's see if this one's any better. Pessimists UNITE!!

8-color hub sharing for Ace Pro 1 and Ace Pro 2

​

Does anyone know if you can use just the 8 filament hub with an Ace Pro 1 and an Ace Pro 2? I know they won't work together for 8 color printing, but can they just use 4 of the 8 slots each as I only have the cables for 1 of them hooked up?

I got an Ace Pro 2 because I was sick of the Ace 1 breaking and never working, the Ace 2 works great so far. In the meantime, I actually got the Ace 1 working good again. I've tested swapping the 4 color filament hubs at the Kobra S1 entrance, the Kobra recognizes the correct Ace unit and drives it accordingly. Its my impression that the 8 color hub is just essentially a pass through; so could I leave all 8 PTFE tunes hooked up permanently and just hot swap cables to use whichever one I want?

I mainly do single-color printing, the 4 color hubs just make swapping easy.

**bonus note** I also was interested in just using the Ace 1 as a dry box before I fixed it. Today, I turned on its dryer and set the time/temp, then hot swapped the signal cords to run my Ace 2. The Ace 1 kept running the active drying. So, if anyone else is trying to do that, you can hot swap them to turn them on, then hot swap back. I don't know if its just stuck on or will stop when the timer I originally set runs up...I'll find out in like 3 hours, haha.

Kobra X: 7H lifetime...

Error code 10118 on my brand new Kobra X after 7 hours of printing.

Cables ✅

Y-axis ✅

Z-axis ✅

​

Ticket send and now I've to wait 1-2 weeks for a new printhead cable and change it by myself ?! 😑

Sell a product by highlighting ease of use and reliability, to start disassembling the machine after 7 hours of printing without using multiple colors.

I am not an electrician or a 3D printer technician.

I'm starting to seriously doubt the reliability and keep the machine.

If you have any advice, thanks in advance.

New Firmware Causing Issues?

I have 2 S1 Maxs. One with 641 hours and one with 55 hours. As of the last couple days, I have been having CONSTANT clogging issues. I think it started to happen right around the same time. Has anyone else notices issues since doing the last firmware update?

Hotbed temperature problem

Last night my printer was turned off while printing for 2 times one after the other due to an electrical failure nearby, the next day I turned on the printer to do my usual prints, but I noticed that the temperatures of the hotbed have increased by 5-6 degrees from the temperature I choose, I tried to do PID of the plate by calibrating it, I returned it to the factory settings trying to do all the procedures but nothing the problem remains

Brand New Kobra 4 ACE Pro 2 Combo is just a filament breaking machine

I've just started with a brand new Kobra 4 Combo. I'm seeming to have constant trouble with filament breaking, either in the Ace Pro 2 or in the print head. I am using some generic PLA, but one pack was brand new just opened yesterday but after leaving it loaded in the ACE Pro 2 overnight on first attempt to use it the next day it broke. Another roll I've had for a while but did run through the dry process seems to just constantly break so I've chucked it. I never seemed to have this sort of problem with my old Ender 3. Is the combo just really sensitive to filament breaking? Should I fully eject a filament and remove it if not using it overnight? How do I improve this situation?

...in the meantime :D

I recently had a problem with my Kobra X. I tried to fix it by myself, but I couldn't... so I contacted the support center, and they quickly assisted me without asking too many questions :D

I hope to be able to post some prints soon.

In the meantime, you can see what the small and affordable Photon Mono 4 can do. With a resolution of 10k on a monitor of just 133.5 cm², it has a resolution of almost 1500 DPI!

I love it! :D

I also shared the clay of the model, so you can compare them. Let me know! :D

I have tried to print a couple of prints with PETG on my Kobra and the first layer doesn’t stick.
Any suggestions on bed heat range?

I designed and printed a lamp! CL-01 Opal Table Lamp.

I recently moved up to a larger resin printer (Anycubic Photon P1) and I wanted to make something for my desk so I decided to make a simple lamp. I'm a former lighting repair tech and I love my light so this felt like a good project. It's made with AC's ABS pro 2 in white and I painted the base up with some green spray paint. (Now that I am looking at the photo while I write this I noticed a thin spot in the paint and a light leak, guess I'll touch that up)

It's based on an E26 socket with a 3k T8 LED bulb and just a simple lamp rotary switch. I did flirt with using a dimmer but some bulbs don't play nice with them (even dimmable bulbs.)

Anyways I just wanted to share it! Thanks for looking!

Edit: Bot got mad I didn't share. Here is the link to my model: https://www.printables.com/model/1770605-cl-1-opal-table-lamp

Ace 2 Pro blijft moeilijk doen

Ik weet dat ik helaas niet de enige ben die problemen heeft met de Ace 2 Pro. De unit heeft behoorlijk wat problemen met het op en afrollen van de rollen filament. De filament breekt of loopt volledig vast. Ik heb hier al meerdere keren contact over gehad met de klantenservice maar goed de oplossing komt er maar niet.

Vannacht weer een print gestopt omdat er een kleur er volledig was uitgehaald door het systeem. Na veel onderzoek en testen doet hij het weer maar het blijft behelpen.

Ik heb al meerdere filament rollen die volledig verstrikt raken door het op en af rollen multicolor prints werken dus niet erg goed.

Ik wilde dit hier gaan delen omdat ik wil weten of er meer mensen zijn met dit probleem en of jullie er een oplossing voor hebben. Want dit is gewoon erg onhandig
