Anycubic Kobra S1 Max Combo vs Bambu Lab H2D
Technical comparison · Fused filament fabrication (FFF/FDM)
About 950 € separate them, yet the build volume is almost the same: 350 × 350 × 350 mm on the S1 Max Combo, 350 × 320 × 325 on the H2D, both enclosed CoreXY machines with a nozzle up to 350 °C. What the extra money buys on the H2D is the second extruder.

| Software notes | The firmware runs on a proprietary Kobra OS layer built on top of Klipper; the official slicer is Anycubic Slicer Next, derived from OrcaSlicer, available for Windows and macOS. Third-party OrcaSlicer is also supported. Remote monitoring and control are available via the Anycubic app (iOS/Android) over LAN, with no mandatory cloud connection required for core printing functions. | The H2D uses Bambu Studio as its official slicer, available for macOS and Windows. Third-party slicers that export standard G-code — including PrusaSlicer, SuperSlicer and Cura — are also compatible, though certain advanced proprietary features (such as automatic dual-nozzle offset calibration and Material CodeSync) are only accessible within the Bambu ecosystem. Remote monitoring and control are handled via Bambu Handy; Bambu Suite manages laser engraving and cutting workflows. |
The differences that matter
- Extruders: 1 against 2 → two materials in the same part only on the H2D.
- Price about 949 € against 1899 € → the S1 Max Combo costs about 950 € less.
- Volume 350 × 350 × 350 mm against 350 × 320 × 325 (manufacturer's declared values) → 30 mm more depth and 25 mm more height on the S1 Max Combo.
Which one to choose
Choose Kobra S1 Max Combo if…
you want a large enclosed volume with a single extruder and about 950 € less: one material at a time, in parts up to 350 mm a side. You give up two materials in the same part.
Choose H2D if…
you print two materials in the same part with two extruders and your work fits in 350 × 320 mm and 325 mm of height. You pay about 950 € more and have 30 mm less in depth and 25 mm less in height.
