I am looking to buy a new (for me) printer. With my budget being around 500€, i could get a Anycubic Cobra S1 combo (450), a Bambulabs P1S (350) or a Qidi Q2 (499). While all of them are enclosed and are very fast printers, only the Kobra S1 is equipped with a filament changer.

I prefer out of the box accurate prints, i don’t mind clouds but prefer to print locally.

Can someone who has experience with two or all three printer give me an advice?

A chummer got the P1S and is happy, so i tend to buy that one as it is the cheapest option for me as well.

Thanks for your help

@PostnataleAbtreibung I have #Anycubic S1 combo at home and when it prints, it prints cool.

However, I have constant issues with network connection on it (the firmware is shit). ACE also does not fit some 1kg spools, be aware of it.

If you have questions, feel free to ask.

I mostly print #PETG, sometimes #ASA

Thanks a lot. Yes, network issues are, well, not that relevant when printing from usb, aren‘t they?

Whixh spools don‘t fit the ams? Is there a pattern?

@PostnataleAbtreibung
If you stick with bambu ams diameter, you should be just OK

Ad USB printing - yes, it works without any issues
