What reviewers found
Anycubic Kobra S1 Combo
- TechRadar (4.5/5): Scored 27 of 30 on a print quality test with about 0.21 mm average X/Y error. A 43 minute single color print became a 14 hour multi color print. Source
- Notebookcheck: Measured 44 dB(A) at one meter. Quality was best up to about 200 mm/s, and nozzle cleaning plus purging caused significant waste. Source
Anycubic Photon Mono M7 Max
- PCMag: Editors' Choice. About 15 minutes from box to first print, and the pump filled the vat in about 60 seconds. A 10 mm mark measured 9.94 mm and gaps down to 0.10 mm printed cleanly. It caught a failed print about 15 minutes in. Source
- CGMagazine (8.5/10): Large multi part dragon printed well. Fast resin roughly halved print times but softened detail. Heavy prints sometimes detached; cloud connection worked about 90% of the time. Source
