Key features
- Enclosed CoreXY structure: The enclosed design provides a stable printing environment, crucial for printing with high-temperature filaments like ABS and ASA. It also helps contain noise and uses a more efficient CoreXY motion system for higher speeds.
- ACE Pro multi-filament system: When purchased as a combo, the printer comes with the ACE Pro, which enables multi-color printing with up to four filaments. An additional unit can expand this to eight colors.
- Filament drying: The ACE Pro actively dries filament at up to 55°C while printing, a key feature for maintaining the quality of moisture-sensitive materials like PETG.
- High-speed printing: The Kobra S1 can reach speeds of up to 600 mm/s, although a recommended print speed of 300 mm/s is optimal for the best quality.
- AI-powered monitoring: An integrated camera and “spaghetti detector” use AI to monitor prints for common failures and automatically pause the job to prevent waste.
- LeviQ 3.0 auto-leveling: This automated system, along with smart Z-axis offset, ensures a consistent and high-quality first layer without manual calibration.
- User-friendly interface: The printer has an intuitive 4.3-inch rotatable touchscreen for easy controls. The companion Anycubic Slicer Next software is based on OrcaSlicer, making it familiar for many users.
- Seamless connectivity: You can control prints remotely and access an online model library via the Anycubic app and Wi-Fi connectivity.
Core advantages, clear at a glance
Strengths for beginners
- Simple setup: With a modular design and an automated calibration process, the Kobra S1 can be unboxed and ready for its first print in as little as 15 minutes.
- Reliable performance: The AI detection, auto-leveling, and filament runout sensor significantly reduce the chance of print failures, creating a more reliable “just works” experience.
- All-in-one package: The combo version offers multi-color printing and integrated filament drying without needing advanced user knowledge.

Considerations for advanced users
- Software limitations: The Anycubic Slicer can be restrictive, particularly with managing multi-color printing. Unlike competitors, it lacks fine control over purging settings, which can lead to significant filament waste.
- Excessive purge waste: While the ACE Pro produces high-quality multi-color prints, the filament-changing process generates a substantial amount of purge waste. This is less of an issue for multi-object printing but can be a drawback for single-part jobs.
- Proprietary parts: Anycubic uses proprietary components for the hotend and nozzle system, which limits customization options for hobbyists who prefer to tinker with their hardware.
