BIQU Panda Build Plate CryoGrip Glacier [aliexpress.us] (select Kobra 3 Combo if it doesn't default to it)
Add the plate and the printer to you cart and use coupon AEUS56 at checkout.
$268.17 for the printer + $16.73 for the build plate - $56 coupon = $28.90
So you would get the printer for a few dollars less and a very good build plate. If the build plate sells out, you can use other fillers.
Good luck!

It was $269 - $45 Coupon - 25% Cashback
As of today, the cashback is back down to 12% but $45 off $269 is still available.
One thing that makes this deal is SUPER HOT is that the seller will ship you V2 NOT V1.
V2 has a nice camera, much better (twice more) Auto leveling sensing, bigger build volume at 255x255x260mm, AI Spaghetti detection, Better Y stability by making the Y axis at 60mm (much wider)
V2 without the ACE normally goes for $300 alone.
Buy this now, you wont regret. If you can get it for $180, buy 10

V2 is so much nicer than V1.
For anyone new to 3D printing, my advice is to get 2 x Kobra 3 combo @ $360 for both after cashback of 25% or $400 at 12% (cost of 1x bambu A1 without multicolor)
On one Kobra 3, you can stack 2 ACE and print 8 colors
On 2nd Kobra 3, print 4 port filament guide, two top spool mount, one top horizonal mount plus original spool mount for 4 filament print. It cannot multicolor print, but it allows you to mount 4 spools and use them without remounting the spools each time you want to use different color/materials.
I have 2x PLA, TPU, PETG setup on it.

I have FF AD5X and AD5M and they are also great (much smaller form factor and fits in my closet nicely) but the build volume is too small at 220mm versus 255mm on kobra.
I do like the hotend on FF than the kobra3/S1 but much more feature on V2 Kobra and at the same price with ACE 4 color print, Kobra3 is a much bettter buy.

I purchased two recently and they both have been V2.
V2 is definitely nicer. It has the features similar to Bambu X1C.
Also better auto leveling/sensor points versus V1 and yes wider Y axis makes a huge difference when printing something narrow and tall.
Elegoo CC, Bambu A1, P1S, FF AD5X, AD5M, Anycubic S1.
I do get more adhesion issues with my Elegoo CC, S1 but that's when I try using the patterned smooth plates. And Kobra 3 has no issues even with those patterned smooth plates.
No need to tweak anything, just print out of the box. Just make sure to select the right profile (nozzle size, plates, materials, etc)

Anycubic support has been excellent. They always respond within 24hours and ship any parts that need to be replaced promptly. I had a problem with one of the ACE unit and S1 extruder and they shipped almost every part that can be related to the problem.
Their firmware updates has been excellent also. Constant update and fixes on a monthly basis.
I believe you can install klipper on Kobra 3, but I have been happy with the slicer. Remote print and camera works well. Notification is also helpful. Much much better than Elegoo slicer (this one is so premature)
