Anycubic Is BACK! – Photon P1 LOOKS INSANE! + Kobra X & S1 Max First Look - FormNext 2025

See the new Anycubic lineup here: https://geni.us/Anycubic-Store Anycubic turned up at Formnext 2025 with what honestly feels like a soft reboot of the brand - and in this video I walk through their three big new machines: the Anycubic Kobra X, the Kobra S1 Max, and the Anycubic Photon P1 resin printer. If you’ve been searching for Kobra X review, Kobra S1 Max large-format FDM, or Anycubic Photon P1 14K resin printer, this is where you see them up close, with the product managers explaining what’s actually changed and why it matters. We start with the Anycubic Kobra X, their new multi-colour FDM machine built around the updated AC generation 2 / AC2 Pro system. The extruder has been completely redesigned so four filaments now live inside the printhead, cutting purge time and dramatically reducing filament waste. A shorter hotend, higher-temperature setup, stiffer gantry, and updated UI all push this beyond a simple “Kobra 3 with colours” and into proper multi-colour 3D printer territory. If you’re comparing Kobra X vs Kobra 3 or wondering whether AC2 Pro is worth it for multicolour printing, this segment breaks it all down. Next up is the Anycubic Kobra S1 Max – a 350 x 250 x 350 mm build volume machine aimed squarely at people who want bigger prints and tougher materials. It brings a higher temp hotend (up to around 350°C), 120°C bed and a 65°C active chamber, hardened steel gears, and nozzles ready for carbon fibre filaments. There’s an active carbon filter, optional “Power Plus” filtration upgrade, RJ45 Ethernet, Wi-Fi 6, and the brilliant side-mounted “poop chute” so waste goes straight into a bucket instead of trying to escape behind the machine. If you’re researching large enclosed 3D printers, Kobra S1 Max specs, or 350mm CoreXY alternatives, this is one you’ll want to see. Then we move over to resin, with the star of the booth: the Anycubic Photon P1. This is a high-end 14K LCD resin 3D printer that blends consumer usability with features normally seen in dental and jewellery machines. It features a new assisted-leveling system with four corner sensors that tell you exactly how to adjust the plate instead of pretending to “auto-level” badly. The textured glass above the LCD helps reduce suction and peel forces, and there’s that wild dual-vat / zoned-vat option for dental, jewellery, and industrial resin workflows, letting you save expensive resin and even tune different parameters per zone in Photon Workshop. With a stated 0.03mm minimum feature size, stainless 303 steel build plate, built-in heater, and integrated camera for monitoring and timelapse, this really feels like Anycubic stepping back into the “premium resin” ring alongside the old Photon M3 Premium. We also talk about the updated AC2 Pro ecosystem - including the new dryer with real airflow, 65°C drying, multiple brushless motors, transparent buffer, glass door, and noise improvements - and how it integrates with the Kobra X and Kobra S1 Max, while staying backwards compatible with existing machines like the Kobra 3 and Kobra S1. If you’re trying to figure out which Anycubic printer to wait for in 2025, whether the Photon P1 is a true high-end resin contender, or if the Kobra X / Kobra S1 Max finally give Anycubic a serious presence in the multicolour and large-format FDM space, this Formnext walkthrough gives you the clearest look yet at what’s coming. This is Anycubic’s new lineup - Kobra X, Kobra S1 Max, Photon P1 - and a very promising sign that they’re pushing back towards quality, engineering, and genuinely interesting features. 🎨 Support the channel and fuel your hobby addiction! 🛡️ Loot Studios Sci-Fi Models – https://geni.us/LootStudiosSciFi 🧙 Loot Studios Fantasy Miniatures – https://geni.us/LootStudiosFantasy
