Just a heads up that the Kobra X is supposed to start shipping this month at a price of $279.

Some key differences are that this printer has the ace pro unit and the Kobra X has the ace pro 2 unit and they aren't interchangeable. The Kobra X has a different filament management system that will have faster color changes and less purge waste. There are clearly other differences, but I wanted to point out that a new printer is coming (then again, isn't that always the case)?
I have been thinking about buying my first 3D printer. would it be better to wait for the kobra X?

Id jump on this but I pre-ordered the kobra x. I've had nothing but good experiences with my kobra 3 v2.

Any recommendations on this printer? Never had 3D printer, but been looking one for my teens.
I had an Anycubic Kobra 3 for about a year but found it to be VERY temperamental. I spent so much time babysitting it (and had a high failure rate - prints not adhering, etc) and when my brother in law bought a printer I warned him "it's a lot of trial and error and dialing in the exact settings for the filament and the print."

He bought a Bambu and literally just clicks "print" and hasn't had a failure yet.

I read somewhere else... buy Anycubic if you want to spend all of your time with the 3d printer, buy Bambu if you want to spend all your time with the 3d prints.

We just sold ours and upgraded to a P1S and yes it's more expensive but it's amazing the difference in experience (and lack of stress. My brother in law has the A1 or A1 mini and has had a great experience as well.

I personally just didn't have the patience to become an expert every time I wanted to print something. Was worth the upgrade for me.

Is the Ace pro like the Bambu AMS? Or is it strictly a filament dryer? TY.

I have this printer and its been great, but yes, its a bit more finicky than bambu but you're paying half of the cost of a bambu. One thing for those who do end up buying one. The manual doesnt mention screwing in 2 screws that hold the cable housing to the hotbed. 2 cables busted rendering the hotbed unable to heat. Submitted a ticket and Anycubic is sending me a replacement bed.

Ace pro connects to the printer and is 'smart' and handles all the extrusion so i think its like the AMS. It also dries.

I've had very few failed prints with my Kobra 3 v2. Learning some basics on brims and supports when you slice a model makes a big difference. If you're just sending a model to print without reviewing how it sliced, you're going to run into a lot more issues.

I'm sure the Bambu is easier overall but these printers are still enormously easier for 3d printing than older printers like the Ender 3. I had to manually level the bed on the Ender. It had no built in network interface so I had to set up Octoprint to manage the printer without it being right next to your computer. No filament runout sensor. No ability to print multiple colors.

$200 is a great deal for what you get here. The ACE unit is worth $200 by itself.

https://store.anycubic.com/produc...3-v2-combo says list price is $499. Why is the list price in this post $1,016? What extras are there?

Wow if so then this is a great deal. Tempting, but my A1 Mini combo works just fine, would be nice to have the bigger print bed though. Hmmm

So regret ever buying a machine from Anycubic. Customer service is nonexistent and the machines are so temperamental. Just spring for a Bambu.

I've got a Kobra3 v2 - clearing clogs is a PITA, but otherwise no complaints about this machine. Notably, I did get a cheap enclosure, and think that it's worth getting one to improve print consistency. The temperature fluctuations caused prints to occasionally lift before I had the enclosure, no issues since. It is a bit wasteful for multicolor prints, but not enough to consider anything else.

I'm an early adopter int he FDM space, started with an Anet A8 and several different printers since - I'm familiar with the challenges of these devices and LOVE LOVE LOVE this printer.

They have it in the refurbished section of the Anycubic site for a deal. Just the printer, no ACE though.
