Freedom to Make: Anycubic 3D Printers Are Now Locally Stocked and Supported at Syntech

Syntech is now the exclusive South African distributor for Anycubic, and the Freedom to Make launch is built around one simple idea: turning an idea into a real, physical object should not mean gambling on a grey import, an offshore warranty, or a filament spool you cannot reorder.
Whether you are repairing a household part, painting miniatures, or testing a product idea, here is what the new range means for you.
Why 3D printing is finally practical for South Africans
South Africa has never lacked makers. Tabletop gamers, weekend engineers, design students, and small business owners have wanted a 3D printer for years. What held them back was not interest, but access: unclear warranties, patchy support, and materials that were hard to find twice.
Anycubic was founded in Shenzhen in 2015 with one aim: making 3D printing simpler, more practical, and smarter. A decade later, it has millions of users across more than 200 countries. Now that experience arrives with local stock and Syntech’s local warranty behind it.
Meet the range
Anycubic printers start from R 8 999, and every model is backed by Syntech’s local warranty. Live pricing for each product is on its product page.
Kobra S1 ACE 2 Pro Combo
Our hero for the launch. It pairs the enclosed Kobra S1 with the ACE 2 Pro multi-colour system in a single box, so multi-colour printing is ready from day one. Buy it as a combo and you save R 2 499 compared with buying the two separately.
Kobra X and Kobra S1
The Kobra X is a confident first printer for anyone starting out. Step up to the enclosed, fast Kobra S1 when you want a more capable machine for everyday making.
Kobra 3 Max and Kobra S1 Max
Big ideas need room. These large-format printers handle bigger builds in one piece, so you spend less time splitting models and gluing parts together.
Photon resin printers and Wash & Cure
For fine detail, the Photon resin line, from the entry-level Photon Mono 4 upwards, delivers the crisp finish that miniatures and detailed prototypes call for. The Wash & Cure range takes care of the finishing.
A full shelf of materials
Behind the hardware sits a library of 71 filament options plus a range of resins, so your next project does not stall while you wait on stock.
Built for local conditions
Power cuts are part of life here, and a print that fails at hour six is a painful lesson. The Kobra range includes auto-resume, which picks up exactly where it left off when the power comes back.
Three ways makers will put it to work
The home workshop
Replace a broken handle, print a custom organiser, or make the one fitting you cannot buy in a shop. A reliable printer turns small household frustrations into twenty-minute fixes.
The gaming table
Tabletop players and miniature painters can print their own characters, terrain, and accessories in fine resin detail, then finish them on the Wash & Cure station.
The side hustle
Small-batch products, custom gifts, and client prototypes become possible without waiting weeks on overseas shipping. With local stock and local support, a working printer stays working.
Why Freedom to Make is worth it
Anycubic is more than a single printer. It is an ecosystem of printers, filaments, resins, and finishing equipment designed to work together, available through Syntech’s nationwide reseller network and covered by Syntech’s local warranty.
That means no grey imports, no offshore returns, and no guessing where your next spool will come from. Just a clear path from your first print to your hundredth.
