It's Alive
I just got my new Anycubic Kobra S1 yesterday and after a quick unboxing and setup I was printing within an hour! Pretty cool. The quality on the first test print was impressive, it cranked out a benchy in about 30 minutes, I probably could have printed it quicker but it was fine.
With calibration done I'm starting to print some mods for the printer which is something I usually do with any new 3D printer. In this case I am starting with a much needed 'poop chute', which allows the waste ejected from the printer to collect somewhere else other than the floor..
I couldn't get my hands on the Ace Pro unit for the printer yet, but hope to have one in a few weeks. The Ace Pro allows for multi-color printing as well as has a built-in filament dryer.
Another cool feature on this printer is the internal camera that is not only doing some AI print anomaly detections, but also can capture timelapse videos of your prints.
This was a quick test print of a mod for the PTFE tube that runs into the extruder.
I got the parts for the chute completed in roughly 7 hours. The AI detection did pause the honeycomb basket print because it thought there was a spagetti problem, fortunately there was not and I just clicked resume and it completed fine.
Once the print completed just attached the parts to the rear of the printer.
Really like this printer and I'm hoping I'll be able to finish a few projects now.
This is AF5QH. 73 and out.
