It comes with a very very very small sample to print 1 test print. You will want to order some.

Hi, anyone bought last week can tell does this combo come with filament or I need to buy extra? Thanks
Comes with a tiny sample. Like 10 meters or something of PLA. You definitely need to buy some.

just watched some reviews about this product. this is the gist of it. is it true? what do you guys think?

https://youtu.be/n3F7TbIbMRQ

Difficult Cable Management: Connecting the four PTFE tubes to the color unit is a "nightmare" due to the small connectors, leading to a cluttered feel.

Control Cable Routing (Weird): The ACE unit's control cable routes inconveniently to the front of the printer

Slicer Software Issues: The included Anycubic slicer software was initially clunky, lacked remote sending capabilities, and had display issues

Major Hardware Problems & Unresponsive Support: The reviewer experienced significant issues, including needing to replace the motherboard and the hotend. Anycubic's support team was unresponsive

Space Requirement: The printer takes up a large footprint, similar to two printers, which is a drawback for those with limited space

Rushed Product: The reviewer believes the product was rushed to market without sufficient QA in both hardware and software.

I just got this. Upgrading from an Ender 3 s1 pro, it is miles ahead! Fresh out of the box, the prints have been perfect and so much faster. The wireless connectivity is so much better and easier to use. Also, odds are, you will get the V2 instead of the first version. I did and several others have reported the same

Judging from the comments, pretty good deal? Never had a 3D printer before, so will be a newbie
This printer does make it pretty easy to get into 3D printing. Especially for the price and being able to print 4 colors

Got mine a few days ago and can confirm, they sent a V2. Upgrading from an Ender 3 S1 Pro and it is a massive upgrade

As a complete beginner who was going to pick up a bambulab a1, is this the better printer for price? Wanted to mostly print practical things for the house but also interested in dabbling in small figures and miniatures even though I know resin is superior for that.
Bambu PS1 is the standard (and higher models, with AMS) Out of the box prints that are great. This one isnt bad, but its not the same level. Between A1 and this one, I would probably go this one. Learn on it, resell it for 1/2 the price then go buy a Bambu

These comments are for V1. Pretty much all of them have been fixed in V2.

You'll get a V2 when you order this.

Going to add this ace pro to my Kobra S1 combo for 8 color printing, plus I get to check out a direct drive extruder printer! Win Win!

Keep getting Error 11518 with PLA+ stuck in the gears. Thinking of returning for an S1 instead.
