Anycubic Kobra S1 Max Combo: Large-format, multi-color 3D printing with an enclosed, heated chamber
Anycubic has opened preorders for the Kobra S1 Max Combo, a new enclosed 3D printer designed for makers who need big build volume and multi-color or multi-material capability. Early buyers place a non-refundable deposit to lock in a lower price, with the entry point currently as low as $749. Pricing will rise in stages as the official launch approaches. A shipping date hasn’t been announced, and with the early-bird promotion running through January 31, 2026, deliveries are unlikely to begin this year.
Key features at a glance:
– Large build volume: 350 x 350 x 350 mm for bigger prototypes, props, and multi-part projects
– Enclosed, heated chamber: up to 65°C to support consistent results on temperature-sensitive filaments
– High-temperature printing: 350°C nozzle and 120°C heated bed to broaden material options
– Multifilament support: up to 16 filaments with add-on modules, including carbon fiber–reinforced choices
– Single printhead design: switches colors/materials by cutting filament, which creates a small amount of purge waste
– Durability-focused hardware: hardened steel nozzle to resist wear from abrasive materials
– Convenience and monitoring: a responsive touchscreen and built-in 720p camera
– Mostly preassembled: overall dimensions of 502.7 x 483 x 584 mm to fit a variety of workspaces
– Filament care: shown paired with the ACE 2 Pro for drying to maintain print quality
Why it stands out
The Kobra S1 Max Combo targets users who want multicolor or multi-material prints without sacrificing scale. Its enclosed, heated build chamber helps stabilize temperatures for cleaner surfaces and stronger layers on challenging jobs. With high nozzle and bed temperatures plus a hardened steel nozzle, the system is positioned for demanding projects and abrasive composites. Add-on feeder modules expand the platform to handle up to 16 filaments, making complex, multi-hue creations feasible in a single job.
