Supported Materials
PLAEasiest to print, great for everyday parts — no enclosure needed
PETGTougher and slightly flexible — good for functional parts, moisture-resistant
ABSHeat and impact resistant — needs enclosure to avoid warping
ASALike ABS but UV-stable — good for outdoor parts, needs enclosure
TPUFlexible and rubber-like — great for phone cases, gaskets, wheels
PANylon — strong and wear-resistant, absorbs moisture, needs dry storage
PA-CFCarbon-fibre nylon — very stiff and lightweight, abrasive to standard nozzles
PCPolycarbonate — extremely tough and heat-resistant, challenging to print
PLA-CFCarbon-fibre PLA — rigid and matte finish, more brittle than standard PLA
PETG-CFCarbon-fibre PETG — stiffer than standard PETG, easy to print
PET-CFCarbon-fibre PET — rigid and dimensionally stable with low warping
PVAWater-soluble support material — dissolves in water, ideal for complex overhangs

💡About the Anycubic Kobra S1 Max
Who is it for?Professional makers and small studios who need large-format enclosed printing for engineering filaments at a competitive price — and want Anycubic's ecosystem over Creality or Qidi alternatives.
Key strengths
- 350×350×350 mm large-format build volume
One of the largest enclosed build volumes in the prosumer/professional tier — suited for large engineering parts, architectural models, and batch production.
- 65°C active chamber heating at scale
Maintaining 65°C across a 350×350 mm chamber is a meaningful technical achievement — ensuring consistent results for ABS, ASA, and PA across the full build plate.
- Anycubic ecosystem continuity
The S1 Max extends the Kobra ecosystem into the large-format enclosed segment, enabling Anycubic users to scale up without switching brands.
The Anycubic Kobra S1 Max, released November 2025, is Anycubic's large-format enclosed CoreXY with a 350×350×350 mm build volume and 65°C active chamber heating. It brings Anycubic's value-focused approach to the large enclosed engineering printer segment, competing with the Creality K2 Plus and Qidi Plus5. It is sold standalone or as the Kobra S1 Max Combo, which adds one ACE 2 Pro unit for 4-color printing with active filament drying; Anycubic also sells 8- and 16-color configurations with two and four ACE 2 Pro units.
❓FAQs
Kobra S1 Max vs Creality K2 Plus — which large-format enclosed printer should I buy?
Both offer large enclosed build volumes with chamber heating at similar prices. The Creality K2 Plus has a more established community and longer track record in the large-format segment. The Kobra S1 Max is newer with Anycubic's ecosystem and 65°C active heating. Evaluate based on regional pricing and your existing ecosystem preference.
Kobra S1 Max vs Qidi Plus5 — which is better value?
The Qidi Plus5 ($749) has a 320×320×300 mm build volume with active 65°C chamber heating, a 370°C hotend, and H12 HEPA filtration. The Kobra S1 Max ($799) offers about 40% more build volume (350×350×350 mm) with the same 65°C chamber temperature. For maximum build area, the S1 Max. For the best-rounded engineering printer value at this tier, the Plus5's HEPA filtration and Klipper-based platform give it an edge.
Does the Kobra S1 Max support multicolor printing?
Yes. The Kobra S1 Max Combo includes one ACE 2 Pro unit — 4 filament slots with active filament drying — for 4-color printing. Anycubic also sells 8- and 16-color configurations with two and four ACE 2 Pro units. If you buy the standalone Kobra S1 Max, you can add an ACE 2 Pro later, as it is compatible with the S1 Max.
Can the Kobra S1 Max print PA-CF reliably?
The 65°C chamber heating significantly improves PA-CF results over open-frame printers. Ensure you use a hardened steel nozzle for carbon-fiber filaments and thoroughly dry your filament before printing. Results will be best for smaller-to-medium parts — very large PA-CF prints across the full 350×350 mm plate will require careful calibration.
