    Is there a way you can show us a NICE CLEAN Print? Every print had extrusion problems. I understand you had to deal with others slicing the files but every print having an issue IS an issue. These machines are not prototypes they have been gone through by the best techs and then sent to great tubers like you. I know it must be hard having to make an excuse for every below par print and having a CONTRACT that you can only say so much but it seems this product is not ready.

    People really need to clarify that you are not getting 'Pantone' colored filament, you are getting 'Pantone Institute' filament, which is a marketing ploy that has absolutely zero to do with Pantone color matching system whatsoever. Those made-up colors that Anycubic gives you, do not have any PMS # equivalents. They're cute, but literally an admitted marketing gimmick, and nothing more.

You blamed something other than the printer. Your room, or the filament or the rotation of the earth. I really think you should think twice about doing a review of a product in the same video that the manufacturer is sponsoring.

    I appreciate that you say this is not a review but most people watching this are going to look at this video and see all the errors and form an initial opinion of this printer, RFID spools would have solved the temperature errors! if Anycubic wants to compete with Bambu Lab they needed to send out a finished machine for people to form an opinion on, the purging of the waste filament needs to be something better than flicking it, are users meant to sit by the machine catching filament purges whilst their part prints? of course, there will be a multitude of bins available to print for the waste purge but I can see them having ridiculously large back planes to stop flicked filament flying in semi random directions.
    I know that heat + magnets and magnetic fields are not a good combination and so I am curious how well the filament changers motors will stand up to the heat from the drying process.

    Totally honest, I am absolutely not interested in this printer. BUT I am interested in the MMU thing. That would be awesome if it would work with other printers. I don't really want to build something like the ECRF for my voron and also having a filament dryer built in seems nice

  • @oleurgast730
    @oleurgast730 3 месяца назад

    It would be realy nice if they would make the ACE unit available for 3rd party printers. Unlike ERCF, MMU2 etc. the ACE (and the AMS) actually have their feeders permanently engaged, as they sychronice the AMS/ACE feeder to the extruder (I disassembled the AMS-"buffer", turns out it uses a slider, a spring, a magnet and a hall-effect sensor). On the A1(lite) this actually is on the top. I am sure the Kobra 3 uses the same method.
    So it would be realy nice if it could be connected to klipper. Or even a Prusa mk4.
    If you have a printer with integrated nozzle/heatbreak combo and "normal flow" (like Revo, Nextruder and TUN), you get nice filament tip on unload, no need for cut&poo. This reduces not only waste but also changing times. So a printer with standard flow integrated nozzle/heatbreak combo do not need cut&poo. However, a MMU3, ERCF etc. is much harder to set up and can fail if the filament spools are not optimal placed.
    So combining the ACE/AMS with it´s easy filament handling with a printer with reliable unload ramping procedure and easy to change nozzle (insert high-flow nozzle for single-colour and standard-flow for multicolour) would be best of both worlds.
    For me personally, I would like to use the ACE with a Qidi X-Max3. That printer has a heated chamber, and I would realy like multicolour parts in ABS. Also of course the Sovol 08 might be a candidate. With the Revo coldend presented in another video, it should be able to change filaments without cut&poo if using a standard revo nozzle, while printing fast with high-flow revo. Combine this with a toolchanger (high flow nozzle for main colour in tool0, standard-flow nozzle in tool 1 with ACE connected, TPU in tool2 and support material in tool3) and the posibilitys are endless.

      I have a X1C with AMS. I used a good amount of BL, Polymaker and eSun PLA (regular and matte), and didn't face any breaking. As far as I can tell, PLA breaking means it is brittle, so you probably have moisture/heat damaged and/or low quality filament. Or maybe you have any other ideas on why it could break?

    The fact they're looking to make the multicolor system compatible with other printers definitely makes it enticing, in addition to the fact that it's a filament dryer; hopefully they get the bugs worked out before too long, but I don't exactly have the capital to make one up at the moment anyway, so by the time that comes along it should be working fine :p

This thing doesn't come close to finished quality of Bambu. It may be $100 cheaper than Bambu, but you'll never get Bambu print quality from it. So its actually an argument and promotion to buy the Bambu, as this printer is clearly a cheaply made knock off.
