Anycubic Kobra S1 ACE 2 Pro Combo
Anycubic's 16-color enclosed CoreXY flagship. Successor to the Kobra S1 Combo with a fully-enclosed chamber, quieter print mode (44dB), and the upgraded ACE 2 Pro multi-material system that doubles color capacity from 8 to 16.

How It Scores
Pros
- +16 colors out of the box — doubles the 8-color S1 Combo and quadruples the Bambu A1 Combo (4)
- +Fully enclosed CoreXY handles ABS, ASA, and engineering filaments without warping
- +44dB quiet mode is unusually low for a 600mm/s CoreXY — apartment-friendly
- +Upgraded hotend is rated for the full Anycubic filament range
- +Early bird €459 undercuts the Bambu P2S (€549) and matches pricing of the older 8-color S1 Combo
Cons
- −Brand new product — early adopter risk on firmware and ACE 2 Pro reliability
- −Anycubic slicer still trails Bambu Studio on automation and profile polish
- −ACE 2 Pro adds significant desk footprint
- −Early bird pricing ends May 31 — regular price expected to climb
What Owners Say
“16 colors on an enclosed CoreXY for under €500 was not on my 2026 bingo card. Anycubic is swinging hard at Bambu's multi-color dominance.”

Verdict
At €459 early bird, this is the most aggressive 16-color enclosed CoreXY on the market. If you already know you want multi-color and don't want Bambu's walled garden, the early bird window (April 24 to May 31) makes this a near-automatic recommendation. For casual multi-color users, the 8-color Kobra S1 Combo remains the better value — 16 colors is overkill unless you print flags, pixel art, or multi-material models regularly.
