Anycubic is on the brink of launching an exciting new 3D printer that’s set to elevate the world of desktop fabrication—the Kobra S1 Combo. Scheduled to hit the market early next year, possibly on January 2nd, this innovative printer was recently showcased at a trade event, drawing significant attention for its unique features.
The Kobra S1 Combo distinguishes itself with an enclosed design that combats air draughts, enhancing print quality by maintaining a stable environment for printing. Unlike some other printers in the market, it doesn’t feature active heating in the build chamber but makes do with the heat generated by the print head and a heated print bed that can soar up to 120°C (248°F). With dimensions of 250 x 250 x 250 mm, this printer offers ample space for various projects.
One of the standout features of the Kobra S1 Combo is its capability to print in multiple colors, a trait it shares with the likes of the Kobra 3 Max. However, while they share some features, the S1 Combo introduces new methods for handling filament changes. Users must cut the active filament, swap it for a new one, and initiate the extrusion before continuing with the print job. Adding to its versatility, it supports two ACE Pro units, each housing four filament spools, ensuring you have a variety of materials and colors at your fingertips.
This forthcoming release promises to be a game-changer for hobbyists and professionals alike, setting a new standard for accessible multicolor printing. As the launch date approaches, anticipation is building, and Anycubic is expected to unveil further details before the festive season, keeping the excitement bubbling among 3D printing enthusiasts around the globe.
