In this video we're going in depth with the Anycubic Kobra S1 3D printer and multi material ACE PRO - I'll walk you through everything from the unboxing to our first print in both single color and multi color mode using the ACE PRO for automated color changes resulting in beautiful multi color prints.
We will also discuss strategies to optimize the use of the Anycubic ACE PRO to gain material efficiency and reduce waste, ie. print multiple multi-color prints simultaneously to reduce the time per part and filament purge waste per printed part.
If you do not yet own the Anycubic Kobra S1 Combo - you can find it at the best price below!

For the very best print results with the Kobra S1, naturally Anycubic has their own filament:
► store.anycubic.com/products/pla-plus-filament?ref=vjtqdavl
The Anycubic Kobra S1 features a generous 250mm x 250mm x 250mm build volume and many of the usual offerings of a modern 3D printer. This includes a core xy motion system, nice touch screen, WIFI connectivity, on board time-lapse camera, integrated lighting, and connectivity to the Anycubic cloud app. It even has AI print failure detection and can apparently detect loose belts.
The ACE Pro multi material unit sets itself apart from the competition with an integrated filament drying system which is nice not to have to have an external dry box on hand.
The Anycubic slicer is also well equipped as it is derived from Orca Slicer - with material presets for very popular filament types and the profiles are suitable for those other brands such as eSun, Polymaker, Bambu Lab etc. As you should expect, the Anycubic PLA branded filament prints excellent on their own machines.
Featured in this video are all of the prints linked below:
Brake and Caliper Model:

Hello Kitty Light Box
► makerworld.com/en/models/123337-hello-kitty-light-box#profileId-132892
► LED Strip for light box: amzn.to/3XyzYaR
Pikachu
► makerworld.com/en/models/50835-pokemon-pikachu-no-support#profileId-52571
Overall, I would recommend the Anycubic Kobra S1 Combo for beginner and advanced users alike. Right now you can also buy the Kobra S1 with an extra ACE Pro to print up to 8 colors simultaneously!
If you are new to 3D printing I still think you should have realistic expectations of the learning curve involved with the hobby. The machine works well out of the box but if you happen to run into issues you will likely get frustrated at first. Take a deep breath, stick with it and don't give up! It doesn't matter if you have an Anycubic, Creality, Bambu Labs, or any other popular high speed printer of this era, eventually you will need to do some troubleshooting. Stick with it!
A few other cool tools and things for 3D printer enthusiasts. (As an Amazon associate I may earn a small commission at NO extra cost to you)
Polymaker PolyTerra PLA (One of my favorite filaments):
► amzn.to/3sdhK1x
eSUN PLA+ (Another one of my favorite filaments):
