What reviewers found
Anycubic Kobra 3 V2 Combo
- Tom's Hardware: A multi color PLA dino print took about 8 h 40 min at an average 130 mm/s with about 100 g of waste. A PETG print took 2 h 4 min with light stringing. TPU printed cleanly at an average 50 mm/s. Source
- Notebookcheck: Good flow up to about 25 mm3/s. 300 mm/s was realistic; a speed Benchy took about 12 minutes with flaws. 55 to 60 dB(A) while printing and about 180 W on PLA. Multi color failed out of the box due to a purge design flaw. Source
Bambu Lab P1S
- Tom's Hardware: Said it hits a sweet spot with affordable CoreXY speed, an enclosure for high temperature printing and simple auto leveling. Downsides were noise, proprietary parts and AMS filament waste. Source
- All3DP: Printed ASA and PC with little corner warping and found auto bed leveling consistent. Criticized the 720p, 0.5 fps camera and some software limits such as blocked microSD access from the slicer. Source
