| Software notes | Compatible with the main slicers on the market. It supports cloud connectivity via the Anycubic app and Wi-Fi for remote monitoring, while still allowing offline use via USB. | The printer works with Anycubic Slicer Next, derived from OrcaSlicer and optimized for the Anycubic ecosystem; it supports multi-plate management and object skipping during printing. Remote control and real-time monitoring are available through the Anycubic app (iOS and Android), connecting via LAN or cloud. The proprietary firmware is not currently open source; native Klipper compatibility is not supported. |
The differences that matter
- €599 vs €749 → a €150 gap at the same build area and speed.
- Native Klipper vs proprietary firmware → only the Kobra S1 ACE 2 Pro Combo has native Klipper.
- Up to 8 colors vs not declared → the maximum color count of the Kobra S1 Combo is not stated.
- 0.1 mm vs 0.05 mm declared precision; 40×41×49 cm and 21.7 kg vs 48.4×48.4×59.3 cm and 18 kg → the first takes less space but is heavier to move.
Which one to choose
Choose Kobra S1 ACE 2 Pro Combo if…
Anycubic Kobra S1 ACE 2 Pro Combo suits anyone who wants up to 8 colors with native Klipper, spending €150 less and taking less bench space (40×41×49 cm). The trade-off: it weighs 21.7 kg against 18 kg and declares 0.1 mm precision.
Choose Kobra S1 Combo if…
Anycubic Kobra S1 Combo suits anyone who values a declared precision of 0.05 mm and works with Anycubic Slicer Next and its multi-plate management. The trade-off: €749, which is €150 more, and a proprietary non-open-source firmware without native Klipper.
