Here is a good filler which will push the total above $280 so you can use the $56 coupon:

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.

Absolutely out of this world deal. I've put over 1000 hours on mine in the last < 1 year and it's been a solid performer.

Originally bought this and it was a crazy deal but after watching videos (post purchase) I decided to cancel it and spend $70 more for the v2 combo. The reason is because just the camera upgrade alone is like $13 of the $70 and then having the upgraded extruder(common with s1) and wider y-axis bar was worth the $57 delta to me. B

Not a huge fan of the glacier but added a frostbite for my x1 which has worked well.

I have the frostbite as well as the Glacier & black cyrogrip and use it on my P1S and Centauri Carbon. Both plates have their use cases. The frostbite has better adhesion for sure, but on some items I don't want the finish that the frostbite leaves or if it's a more "fragile" item, the frostbite's adhesion can be too strong lol and it can ruin the print. But yeah, the frostbite is great.

Heck of a great price if the basic printer is good. I've only limited Anycubic experience but that was with a printer that was given to me as "not working" so probably not a great example.

Why wouldn't anyone be buying this combo deal:
https://www.aliexpress.us/item/32...escription

It's the V2 version along with QNTY 2 ACR Pros? Am I wrong about this? THe description is pretty lame. It does say 8 color printing - so I assume it comes with QNTY 2 ACE Pros?

It is deceptive. You have to click this link for the combo - and it's only one ACE Pro dryer:

tempting to buy this to add as a secondary printer to my a1 mini to do larger and multi-colored prints and keep the mini to do everyday tasks

Ordered. Thank you! This is an incredible value. I've been wanting to pick up an anycubic printer for awhile now to test out their ecosystem. Yay!

It never ends lol. I've only been printing for less than a year and am up to three printers, three filament dryers and countless filament which I need a spreadsheet to keep track of. Well, I shouldn't say never as I'm limited by the wife to one room and it's more than full. My 3rd printer is still new in the box because I haven't figured out how to situate it in there Smilie

Are these easier to use than Ender 3s? I've been printing with Enders for years and was planning on getting a centauri carbon sometime soon because the calibration and troubleshooting truly never ends with older 3d printers. Looking for something where I can get better prints without messing with it so much
