Not sure how much Centuri Carbon costs but I'm biased as well and now own two of these and another AnyCubic S1 model

Great thing about this package is it includes the 4 color filament manager that also has dryer function so if you want to compare apples to apples then compare another printer with 4 color filament manager and a filament dryer with printer.

I have 300 print hours on my S1 and 150 hours combined on my Kobra 3.

My only complaint so far is AnyCubic parts come from overseas so it took awhile to receive a warranty replacement part for my Kobra S1.

I have both. Both are good. One color only on the ECC but it handles harder filament types. Multicolor on this one though I'd only put PLA and PETG thru it maybe some TPU.

Bedslinger vs enclosed coreXY. Both could be the right answer depending on what you're looking to do with them. I have an A1 combo and an ECC. There are benefits to both. That being said, I've had my Elegoo about 3 weeks and I'm already over 300 hours print time with not a single complaint, so I can definitely vouch for the Elegoo. It's certainly more versatile, and it will have a multi color option available in the near future. When it's released I'll probably buy another CC with the combo. It's a beast of a printer for $299.

Bambu labs printer had an app/ search feature to look for prints and send to printer . Could I still do that with this printer from same app or this has its own app with user uploaded files and shares

bambu handy (mobile app) uses Bambu cloud servers to send prints to the Bambu printers. wont work with 3rd party. you can still browse makerworld and download prints, possibly use the desktop app but itd be more manual. I have an A1 so. ot familiar with it but Anycubic has an app too.

if that's your choice do this one for multi color, if single color do the CC. I have a CC but the MMS was delayed, probably cancelled

it has to be a v2 - if there's even a chance it's a v1 you don't want it

I've had this for almost a month, and the AMS still isn't working right. From what I can gather, it looks like I have to flip it upside down and open it up to remove a likely jam. But I've had filament breaks in multiple lines. I haven't gotten around to doing it because I've just been using my P1S, but it's been a bad first impression. If I had to do it all over again, I probably would have just put the money toward an AMS for my P1.

So I bought two of these in the previous sales and received v2s each time. Anycubic has their own app and website for prints that kind of mimics Bambus. Just sign up on both. I download prints from Bambu and load them with on the computer or via the Anycubic app if I don't need to do any additional slicing

from YouTube videos, I think I saw someone say that you have to add slack to the tubes to stop the filament from breaking. maybe you could try putting the ams and printer further apart? or rotate the ams?

Deal is dead. I think I purchased the last one at $235 because it said only 1 left before I bought it. As soon as I placed the order, price on the website jumped to $297.30. Of course, the $35 off $269 coupon can be applied now bringing the final price to $262.30 which is about $27 more than this deal price.

make sure you really want this printer. because returning it will be a hassle with aliexpress. You might have pay for the shipping to return it and hope everything goes well and AliExpress actually give you a refund for the printer and the shipping cost

otherwise great deal and good printer. Got it during the last deal but decided to go with A1 with AMS.
