Anycubic Kobra X - Deep Dive 1 - Job Generation, Camera Quality, Benchy Comparison, and TPU Results!

The S1 is an enclosed system that performs decently with TPU but exhibits more 'winess' in speed benchies and a choppier camera feed compared to the Kobra X.

Is this a good first 3d printer?

I see this a lot on reddit. I own multiple kobra s1 combos that have never given me a problem? Printed with stock hotend and 0 maintenance for 1000 hours before I maintenanced it and changed the hot end to harden steel. I know its very real that people have different experiences, I personally love my anycubic printers.

Layer problem

Printer Anycubic Kobra S1, standard nozzle. my printer is a week old and already driving me up the walls. Bottom was 1st print, at top I adjusted Z offset to - 0.05, that improved the base layer, but now it's fussing on the second layer. I have printed the same exact file before, no problems. What could be the issue? I printed a second Bnechy, it's not way off to my very fist but I noticed a slight deterioration. I've printed a total time of 28h
