Anycubic is gearing up to launch a fresh 3D printer. The Kobra S1 Combo has already been presented at a trade event, but it's expected to hit the market early next year, with a possible release date of 2 January. The company plans to reveal additional details before Christmas, but there are not many questions left unanswered, particularly about the pricing.
Design Differences
The Kobra S1 Combo shares similarities with the Kobra 3 Max, yet there are notable design variances. Unlike the Kobra 3 Max, the Kobra S1 features an enclosed design, which protects the printing area from disruptive air currents, potentially enhancing the quality of prints. However, this build chamber doesn't have active heating; it depends on the warmth generated by the print head and the heated bed, which can reach temperatures of up to 120°C (248°F). The dimensions of the build volume are 250 x 250 x 250 mm (9.8 x 9.8 x 9.8 in).
Multicolour Features
Equipped with multicolour capabilities, the Kobra S1 Combo is quite similar to the Kobra 3 Max in many ways. For example, both models come with a single print head. When changing filament, the user must first cut the current filament, then load the new one, and extrude a set amount of the new filament before continuing the print job. The Kobra S1 Combo can work with up to two ACE Pro units, each capable of holding four filament spools. If you're looking for something else, you might want to check out the Creality K2 Plus, which is a more expensive option available at the moment.
Conclusion
Anycubic is clearly excited about this new addition to their lineup, and it will be interesting to see how it performs once it hits the shelves. Sam Prentice from The Realm has hinted that more updates are on the way, and fans are eagerly anticipating the final details.
