The differences that matter
- Price, €589 vs about €334 → about €255 less with the M1 Pro S1, for the same volume.
- Multicolor up to 4 colors, no accessory needed → on the Kobra X Combo a multicolor object prints straight away.
- Kobra OS (a Klipper fork) vs native Klipper with root access → on the M1 Pro S1 every configuration can be changed without restrictions.
Which one to choose
Choose Kobra X Combo if…
For printing multicolor objects, up to 4 colors, without fitting accessories, with a camera with AI detection and vibration compensation built in. The trade-off: about €255 more, and Kobra OS, Anycubic's fork of Klipper, as the firmware.
Choose M1 Pro S1 if…
For anyone who wants Klipper with the Moonraker API and a Mainsail or Fluidd interface, with unrestricted root access to the configuration, and spends about €255 less for the same 260 mm volume. The trade-off: configuration is entirely in the user's hands.
