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!

Do you know if V1 hotends can be used on V2? I have so many spare V1 hotends and they look the same

Elegoo also prints faster than Bambu P1S, X1C, A1, Anycubic S1, FF, etc.
Elegoo is also more expensive for 1 color print, but the biggest downside of Elegoo is the noise. It is like the jet engine going off versus any printer i've had. Probably the loudest by 10 folds than others.

The FF 5M Pro (same basic printer but includes an enclosure etc) was 3h26m
https://youtu.be/WgOd8BjTTdQ?si=
These aren't huge differences in my view but the FF is faster.
In her test the Kobra 3 was 4:17 https://youtu.be/oVCDzXjemkc?si=
For reference the same print on other printers:
Ender 3 V3SE 5:44 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJPKDAI
Ender 3 V3 4:25 https://youtu.be/ZnPyP7SVp8k?si=
Creality K1C 3:28 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c...EAI
Creality H1 4:29 https://youtu.be/o8Gy8e0f-vo?si=-...GztI&t=848
Neptune Max 4 4:55 https://youtu.be/iEVqugRVRWU?si=
Kobra 2 Max 3:48 https://youtu.be/oe5sbUlhMxY?si=
Kobra 2 Pro 3:10 https://youtu.be/4XT3xisH29w?si=
Kobra S1 Pro 4:15 https://youtu.be/DOnkRG7MBfY?si=
Bambu A1 5:37 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c...EAI
Bambu H2D 4:35 https://youtu.be/aHii2K4yrcM?si=
And they all loose to the FLSUN S1 Pro at 2:29 https://youtu.be/lC2WMuoT-Pw?si=_...bqO&t
This is honestly my first time compiling such a list. I was surprised that some of the "older" bed slingers like the Kobra 2 were so fast while the Banbu's were generally not. I knew the Ender 3V3se was slower than most of the other "recent" models but I was surprised that the A1 was only marginally faster. Also worth noting that slicer settings and even the slicer itself can make a difference. Even though these are all "the same print" we don't know if the actual print paths are identical.

DId you install the hepa filter? Does it help dampen the noise further? How's the temp inside the chamber with the filter?
I see some cheap filter/foam inside the exhaust fan but not sure if I should install the hepa filter
Thanks!!!!

That's surprising with A1 speed as I noticed it to be about the same as S1, Kobra3 and FF
FLSun is suppose to be really fast but I hear the print quality is worse than the others.
I see some cheap filter/foam inside the exhaust fan but not sure if I should install the hepa filter

Could be there are other options, but these are the ones that I bought https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0...asin_title

the other being they seem to actually ship out the V2 models instead of V1s.
