Bambu Lab Killer ??? Anycubic Kobra 3 Combo with ACE unboxing, assembly and review 

Not quite there yet. As much as I love to see progress and innovation, this is in no way a "Bambu Labs killer." So many glaring issues just with the placement of ports alone.

Left ear loved it

From what I've read you can link 2 Ace Pro units together to get 8 color prints and they might expand it to link more later on.

Thanks to this machine, most of Bambu's lineup is cheaper. Competition is great for our pockets.

Everyone is jumping on the Bambu bandwagon. It is nice to also see alternatives.

the only thing going for the ACE is that it will be integrated into their other printers but far from a bambu killer. their software lacks.

Thank you for the review, I almost bought an older version of anycubic a couple times. The dryer function is cool, I am looking at designing a mod for my current AMS for that. I am interested in how multi color prints on cardboard spools work over time, bambu chokes on cardboard in the AMS. But wow what is with the Bambu hate club? I am coming from really old qidi and longer printers i bought a P1S combo. You could probably call me a fan boy now, but that is just because I can print stuff fast, and easy, I am not spending all my time upgrading just trying to get a decent print or get hair faster than molasses pours. Bambu is just FAST, really really good prints, problem free it just works, the remote app and other things are unbelievably handy. I have printed 10x the stuff with my p1s compared to the years with my others, its crazy better. I am currently printing a 6ft STARGATE that i would never consider on my other printers, because it would take probably 6 months or more to finish and not look as good.

Good overview, but some bias. Some fact checking: You can print with bambu printers offline; it's called LAN mode. It only uses your local wifi, or you can just print with the SD card. Your security concerns are unfounded, and unnecessary fear mongering. With the A1 you can buy individual nozzles, they don't seem to be available for the kobra 3. You compared the kobra 3 to the X1c; not very fair to kobra 3. The X1c can print materials like nylon, ABS, ASA, polycarbonate, and has an active carbon filter for those materials. There's obviously a bunch of software differences as well; I'm not sure how the kobra 3 handles it, but with the A1 AMS lite, you can have it move from one spool to the next if they're the same color and the first runs out of filament. I like that the ACE can dry filament, but it's only really suitable for PLA or TPU; anything else requires higher than 55c; I print with a lot of PETG and that dries at 65c. My own take on the kobra 3 combo is that their color unit is nicer than the bambu, but the printer is not nearly as well-tuned as the A1. It's good, just not great. Not even remotely close to a "bambu killer". Reliability, ease of use and user experience are all areas that bambu focused on that the other manufacturers are still playing catch-up on. I have two A1s and an A1 mini and have had zero issues with any of them, and zero tinkering or tuning; just adjusting slicer settings for the filament being used, changing nozzles for different materials like carbon fiber PETG and it's off to the races. Like I said in another comment, I'm glad so many other companies are chasing bambu's success, that's better for all of us who use the printers, they just need to fine-tune all aspects of owning a 3d printer; making decent hardware is easy enough, but on its own it's not enough. I'm looking forward to the creality K2. If you'll compare a bambu printer, the A1 would be a direct comparison.

I ordered one, I think Anycubic is on to something here. For the price it seems like a good value. I also have an X1C and an A1 so we will see how it stacks up. Thanks for the vid!

So, just to be clear. You don't have an A1 to compare with but 'bambu killer' clickbait. And it gets even better. You don't even kbow the price and build size of the A1 to compare with

Was this a sponsored video? Curious to see more on the multicolor printing part which is the main reason to buy this printer.

Alright, so there are always security concerns with any device that's capable of connecting to the internet. I respect your opinion that you have those concern s about bambu, but those concerns should also be towards anycubic. The software for the Kobra 2 series had a severe exploit with unsecured api access points to control the printers, you've probably already heard about it. I'm not trying to say your opinions are invalid but just that you should have concerns about other devices and not buy them because of it. I apologize if I come off rude, have a great day.

Not sure if you're aware but the video only has audio in the left side up to 11:53 and then again later from 20:55 to 25:40. Hope the printer is reliable, it would really suck to lose a multi color print part-way.

3d printer companies always release their products before they are ready. It still has a long ways to go on the software side, which they will drop support by next year when they released another not ready to be released product. At least bwmbulab will support their printers for years to come. With their kobra 2 pro, they locked the firmware which made you use their app and slicer. I'm not going to go through that again.

Good job!

Bambu is still better. But thanks!, I've been looking at these

Nice review. One small mistake though. At 23:10 $1,299 is the Combo price, meaning its the X1-Carbon + AMS

Is it true these anycubic multi colour printers create twice as much "poop" as a bambu?

I almost preordered one of these. I really want to do multi-material printing, but I don't want more than one ecosystem. I already have Creality K1C and K1 Max.

Great vid !

I recommend changing the thumbnail of your video, I was looking for reviews of the Kobra 3 this week and it was difficult since your thumbnail does not show the printer as such

Bambu has now worries!

Very bold statement "Bambu Killer" seeing you don't own a bambu labs printer.

we cant be serious with left ear audio only....

Bambu killer??? Absolutely NOT. Got X1C's A1's (not the mini) and the Kobra 3,... The Kobra 3 is really NOT better...

Anycubic is rubbish and you have no idea of what you talking about Dji is a great company and run well. I have a few of the drones well put together and very well-made. As far as printers go, I’ve had two Anycubic printers and they both gave me problems constantly and the customer services crap. People should stop comparing this printer to the bamboo lab

nope

Bambu killer 😂😂 what a joke

Clickbait
