Can you share your settings for the slicer? Th Gcode is not there in your description

[@federicomassimomagurno]

I'm currently having problem printing PLA on cura, I cant avoid strings 😅 I'm trying to calibrate using the retraction tower metod but the 1-6 mm tower came out a mess, if you can share your profile settings I'd be grateful ❤

New to printing, on the kobra 2 neo do I need to do anything with the z offset? Or will that happen with auto leveling?

[@954Film]

The only thing you may need to do is tighten the red belt tensioner on the z axis everything else will happen on its own it’s a really easy print setup

So I upgraded my Kobra Neo 2 with klipper this weekend to compare the speed with my flash forge 5m. Still not as fast, but much faster than out of the box. Running at 250 in and outer wall what takes my flash forge 14 minutes to print now takes my Kobra Neo about 17 minutes. Before it was taking about 23 Minutes. So a great improvement with not quality loss. Maybe even better quality. And I still have not even attached my AD345Xl to vibration compensation on the Neo. Though I will say it took me a few tried to get klipper running on it.

[@954Film]

How do you like kipper with the printer I was thinking about switching to kipper. And I was used to ender 3 speeds before I got this printer so I was really impressed with print speed and quality when I got this printer

[@Mecha_Hacks]

I am having a hard time printing abs filament on my anycubic kobra 2 neo, any suggestions would be helpful. Issue: The prints dont stick to the bed.

[@954Film]

Usually you need a enclosure to print abs to keep the heat in

[@richcastle]

great printer out of the box, would like to know what the screw holes on top of the gantry are for, maybe a light bar?

[@954Film]

I think they are for a light bar

Hi. Could you do a video on how to create own things to print please? Completely new to 3d printing and not good with tech so would be a great help. Thanks

[@954Film]

Like how to create 3d models in cad to print?

[@DanielGiles-nh8kq]

@@954Film yes that would be great. Thanks

[@marcelloziglioli8954]

[@marcelploeger8672]

im new to this. butt can i connect a printer like this to a pc so i can sent a design from bambu lab to the printer ?

[@954Film]

If you set some sort of software up to do that like kipper yes you can. But right out of the box you have to put the files on a sd card then put the sd card in the printer.

[@marcelploeger8672]

@@954Film i just ordered the ender 3 v3 ke, i saw that was possible with that one out of the box 👌🏽

[@manojgowda4985]

Hey … should I go with this printer or ender 3d I this price segment ?

[@954Film]

This printer for sure it prints in half the time my ender 3s print

[@Kid_illithid]

My wife just got me one of these as my first 3d printer. I wanted a resin one for warhammer but she didn’t know the difference lmao. Still, I’m not sending it back. I can’t wait to set this thing up

[@954Film]

It’s a really fun printer fast and prints great quality. You will have lots of fun with it.

Hey I’m thinking of buying this as my first printer is it worth it? Or is there a better beginning printer? ( I know absolutely nothing about 3d printing)

[@954Film]

This is definitely a good starter printer much faster than ender printers and really easy to setup

[@RandomSnippets07]

Id suggest anything with auto bed leveling. Manual bed leveling without prior knowledge and experience will be a painful process. I bought a refurbished ender 3 v2 and couldn’t for the life me got to level the bed manually and had return it. I’m going to purchase kobra 2 neo, which has an auto bed leveling and a good beginner printer

[@unethicalhacker2852]

How does it compare with ender 3v3 se

[@954Film]

I like this printer better it comes with auto bed leveling

[@KcCake]

Both have auto bed leveling. Honestly they are very very similar but imo the se has better build quality

[@KcCake]

Honestly the neo might have a better fan since it come out both sides. I dont like the ptfe tube though but i guess you dont have to use it

[@frankpapaleo357]

does this model have a heated bed?

[@954Film]

Yes it does

[@hawkgamedev]

thanks for the video. Also you do know that filament and resin fumes are toxic right?

[@marcelloziglioli8954]

Resin I agree with, but are filament fumes that bad too?

[@ganeshpingle.8423]

Can you use ABS material on this printer..? 🤔🤔

[@954Film]

You should be able to you just need an enclosure

@@ganeshpingle.8423 I don’t have an enclosure for it so the prints wouldn’t come out the best but I print petg with it all the time and the higher temps are no problem

[@scottallen6478]

What made u go with bed slingers over core x y ? For the $ u spent on 3 printers dude u could of got an A1 mini. That one printer will do the work of all 3 put together, better quality & faster, easier to maintain & saves on bench space.

[@954Film]

I got the 2 Enders used for $60 a pice so it made sense

[@LTthePrintingKing]

What software do you use I use orca

[@954Film]

I use cura
