Anycubic touts the Kobra S1 Combo as the ideal new machine for "Simple, One and Done" 3D printing in resin due to its compatibility with the OEM's Color Engine Pro (or ACE Pro), rated for "round-the-clock" drying for up to 4 spools of filament at a time.
Furthermore, the S1 Combo can work with 2 ACE Pros at a time in order to print in up to 8 colors at once. The printer also has a swappable nozzle backed to stay at 320°C so as to prevent clogs. It is also an enclosed printer, as opposed to its Kobra 3 Combo predecessor (now available for $459.99 with 1 ACE Pro on Amazon).
Anycubic has now announced the Kobra S1 Combo at an RRP of $749; however, those who order it during its January 2 to 5, 2025 release window can avail of a "Founder's" discount of $200, with "perks" such as the chance to win a $50 gift card and a mystery box valued at $20 thrown in for free.
