PEEK Settings for Anycubic Kobra S1
Recommended slicer settings for printing PEEK on the Anycubic Kobra S1 (250 x 250 x 250 mm build volume, 600 mm/s max speed, direct drive extruder).
Not Compatible
The Anycubic Kobra S1 has a max nozzle temperature of 320°C, which may be below the minimum recommended 370°C for PEEK. Printing may be possible at the lower end of the temperature range but results may be suboptimal. The max bed temperature of 120°C is below the recommended 130°C for PEEK. Adhesion may be poor without additional bed adhesion aids.
| Filament Nozzle Requirement | 370-420°C |
| Printer Max Nozzle | 320°C |
| Filament Bed Requirement | 130-160°C |
| Printer Max Bed | 120°C |
What to do instead
- Your printer's hotend maxes out at 320°C, but PEEK needs at least 370°C. No amount of tuning can overcome this hardware limitation.
- Your printer's bed maxes out at 120°C, but PEEK needs at least 130°C for reliable adhesion.
- Try a compatible filament for your Anycubic Kobra S1 — PLA, PETG, and ABS are good options.
- If you need PEEK specifically, you'll need a printer with an all-metal hotend rated for 370°C+ nozzle and 130°C+ heated bed.
