The REALITY of owning a MASSIVE 3D printer - AnyCubic Kobra 2 Max

Really good review, thank you. A dose of functional realism, honest about the faults, and your explanation about the real world benefits of a bigger bed for a shop (or other) helped.

I also bought this printer with last Black Friday and I love it. It prints really good. I like those Libra 2’s so much that I bought a Kobra 2 plus. 😅😅

I’m going to get a Kobra 2 neo and I already got the filament. Can’t wait!

Great review!

Ive got the kobra pro, its very small but every issue ive had with it has been attributed to it being my first real printer. I had to creality ender 3s which where more or less broken out of the box, ive had my kobra pro for about 6 months and it has so far been the best experience ive had with the hobby. I do definitly plan on getting the max as soon as im able to afford it to increase work flow.

did you guys not run into any leveling issues? My first layer print is horrendous. Did you guys do any silicone mods?

I personally own the Anycubic Kobra 2 after owning the Easythreed K2 Plus and I have to say it has been so good to me. All the features work great and the slicer is built off of Prusa Slicer so you can just use the Prusa slicer with the .ini file that they give you. Overall great value for the price and less messing around needed when compared to the Creality Ender counterparts (which my family members use).

Great video! Hope to see you on our podcast soon...

I print on the kobra 2 plus and bambu lab p1s. The two negatives you mentioned are easily workable. When loading filament, make sure the hot end is positioned all the way to the left and bottom of the bed. The slicer itself is fine and covers advanced needs. For anything beyond, just use prusa slicer. Here are my two negatives: 1. The G4 pause command does not working on anycubic. This has meant my timelapses often don't come out smoothly. 2. You can't upgrade to a bimetal heat break (atleast easily). The aftermarket bimetal heat break does not have a recessed thread, meaning you will have filament oozing out the top of the heating block, unless you manually mill the heat break, which in my opinion that level of effort isn't warranted.

HI. LOVE THE vid. Wondering could you put those Trays on there sides and print 20 at a time. Might need to change the design a little but could be WORTH it.

Seems fairly solid overall for a large printer at that price. I'd definitely just make my own printer profile for another slicer. Ditching the spool holder would have been one of my first moves too. Also seems like that cable and reverse Bowden might cause some issues. Needs one of those retracting tethers or something. Good review! Very entertaining. Nice fidget... Thing.

Great vid! 90C max on the bed is a potential drawback, looking for solutions as need the bed size, are you printing mainly PLA?

I have the original Kobra, it had issues, I am told the new Kobra 2s have resolved them and they are good. I am now running Elegoo Neptune 3 and 4 Pro printers, and thinking of getting the Neptune 4 Max, but your review is making me think I might go back to Anycubic for my monster sized printer...

I have a kobra 2 pro so the tiny version. This is my first printer and my only printer so far. I got it for christmas and its reliable and fast I havent had any I problems and I can say its a good printer for beginners.

I have one question, I really want a x1c combo, but I am only 11 years old, do you know any online secondary sale website with cheaper printers, if you do, please tell, I beg

I have a kobra 2 max and have had it for about 5 months and I love it other then that I had to get a new hot end recently

Mate your videos are excellent

if i wanted to print some shelving , say 400mm x 150mm, sides and back 150mm, how long you think that would take at say 3mm thickness, holding game cases/carts

This looks awesome and I thought my P1S was big :)

Also just put up a video for this printer. 100% agree for the size, speed, quality, features, volume - you can't beat this printer. I bought a Kobra max last year and liked it enough that when I saw they put out a newer model fixing all the complaints I had from the first and added more volume - this was an easy slam dunk. We're getting ready for a comic convention and if it wasn't for the speed and size we'd be under prepared. I was underwhelmed with Anycubic's SLA printers - but their FDM printers - dare I say - beats out creality
