| 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 X2D uses Bambu Studio as its official software, available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It also accepts standard G-code from third-party slicers such as PrusaSlicer, SuperSlicer, and Cura, though some advanced features — including automatic calibration and dual-nozzle workflow management — are only fully supported within Bambu Studio. |
The differences that matter
- Build Volume and Dimensions: Product A offers a net working area of 350x350x350 mm with external dimensions of 50.27x48.3x58.4 cm, whereas Product B provides 256x256x260 mm within a smaller footprint of 39.2x40.6x47.8 cm.
- Speed and Precision: Product B reaches a maximum speed of 1000 mm/s with a declared precision of 50 μm, exceeding the 600 mm/s speed and 0.05 mm precision of Product A.
- Extrusion and Color Management: Product B integrates a native multi-extruder system and supports up to 25 colors in total, while Product A is not multi-extruder and manages a maximum of 4 colors.
- Temperatures and Power: Product A supports a higher maximum nozzle temperature (350 °C versus 300 °C for Product B) and a power consumption of 2200 W compared to the 1600 W of its competitor.
Which one to choose
Choose Kobra S1 Max Combo if…
Product A (Anycubic Kobra S1 Max Combo) is suitable for intermediate users who require a large working area of 350x350x350 mm, a higher power consumption of 2200 W, and a nozzle capable of reaching 350 °C for specific materials, while accepting a lower maximum speed (600 mm/s) and a limit of 4 colors via an external accessory.
Choose X2D if…
Product B (Bambu Lab X2D) is designed for advanced users looking for maximum printing speed (1000 mm/s) and a native multi-extruder system with advanced management of up to 25 colors via an accessory, despite a smaller build volume (256x256x260 mm) and a maximum nozzle temperature limited to 300 °C.
