Keep in mind you’re essentially a beta tester with the Kobra X, its initial presentation might look promising but it’s not proven long term. My personal experience with Anycubic has not been reliable or trustworthy. After a Kobra 2 and a Kobra S1, I wouldn’t trust anything they make anymore. They’re

You can download Makerworld models and use them on Anycubic's slicer, Anycubic Slicer Next. I recommend using the slicer for best results and total control over the quality and rigidity of your print. Anycubic also offers its own library of STL and 3MF files on their MakerOnline website, which you c

I get frustrated by the fan base because they complained about the Kobra 3 being undercooked when it released making us glorified beta testers. And then we give Anycubic grace and they demonstrate that they fully are baking, the Kobra X and the S1 Max, which should be great but then they have lost a

The Kobra X is my third printer out of four. Since I also own the S1 Combo, the Kobra 3 and "soon" the S1M I can see how Anycubic has evolved in terms of design, improvements, firmware, and hardware. Unfortunately, there are a few users who have come forward to discuss issues with this printer, but

A month ago, one of the people who received the KS1M made a Reddit post asking what we were interested in. We also discuss it a lot on the Anycubic Discord server with beta testers and future users, a server I recommend you join to stay informed or when you need help. The S1M is positioned as a comp

Anycubic is releasing this Kobra 4 to reduce the cost and complexity of assembling and repairing the Ace Gen 2 print head on the Kobra X. This way, they can sell it at a lower price for single-color, while the Ace 2 Pro will be required for multi-color. Other than that, there are no other improvemen

So I own the Kobra X. But it is not my first printer. It's my 4th actually. I've had mostly positive experiences but note I did have to replace the hot end under warranty which support was easy to work with and sent new part free of charge. If you are new to 3d printing such troubleshooting and repa

I only have the Kobra X. And outside of one issue with my hot end (replaced under warranty) the machine has been fine. I had issues with the leveling system but a machine factory reset cleared it. This was right after a firmware upgrade so it must have gotten bugged. From reputation Anycubic seems t

If you moved out the assembly for the indexer , check if you re-assembled properly .. The little board with the optocpouper fork must be inserted properly. Maybe when dissasembling you may have popped the fork off from the board, then you need a new indexer board or printhead. It was already written

If you want to start with this hobby, the mini is probably the best option. You just have to copy and paste profiles since most people here are using this or the bigger A1. You don't need the multi-material unit really and even if the print stops midway it doesn't matter that you can see the layer l
