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

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

Personally, I don’t think Anycubic will be releasing a multi-tool printer anytime soon. I suspect they’ll focus on the ACEGen2 for now and bring it to other platforms. After all, the goal is to make money, so they’ll want to recoup their development costs first. But then again, the Kobra X was quite

Kobra X, the Anycubic ecosystem isnt as closed off as Bambu. And depending on what you plan to get into, Bambu is doing its damndest to get AI detection software rolling, which opens the door for AI Detection copyright bs to keep you from printing shit you want. Theyve already tried doing 100% onlin

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

You won't get scammed, they have been around for a while. I feel shipping has slowed down, probably due to customs, imports, tariffs etc. I am sure they are trying to offset some of the tariffs by holding onto items and tightly pack them all into one container and pay less in shipping. I wouldn't ev

I'm currently using the anycubic Vyper still. I flashed it and using Klipper. Spent many hours tuning and I'm OK with the current results but I'm in the market for a new printer. The Kobra X and S1 definitely caught my eye. I was initially gonna just go for the Kobra X but idk about another bed slin

UK here, I've had an Anycubic Vyper for years and decided it was time to upgrade on the hype of the Kobra X. When I purchased the estimated delivery for end of March, that passed so I messaged support at the start of the month who told me that it will be the end of the month (15-25th April), then to
