Anycubic Kobra 2 Pro l Crazy Fast For The Price 👀🤖🥇

[@frankvonfrauner]

Review is spot on. This is my first printer and I love it. Super simple, great to learn with. After about 200 hours I had to start gluing the build plate and I've thrown more than a couple prints off the bed. I'm really impressed with this thing and the price seems to keep dropping so it becomes a better deal by the day.

[@sergiyrudenko905]

Its time to upgrade from my good old Anycubic Kobra to this little beast :) Thank you for your review!

[@Level_Up_Nation]

Got one of these on the Black Friday Sale, first one ever, putting it together was like reading an IKEA instructions 😅 one thing that should be really repeated over and over being a bed slinger you MUST have a robust stand/table for this, it will rock harder than ACDC when it gets full speed, had to put it on my kitchen counter for now, it rocks everything else to much. (I have the Kobra 2 Plus)

[@TheGiraffe]

So true Lmaao

[@TheGiraffe]

You can change the speed during the print, I thought mine was going to take off to space at point lol

[@PrismaticPhilo]

I haven't seen many reviews about this 3D printer. It's great that you went ahead and did a deep dive into it. I think that bef slingers still have a pretty awesome place in the 3D printing world. I print a lot of TPU and I agree it's been great for that. There are a couple of different pei plate alignment add-ons that you can get on printables to get the plate aligned easily. But yeah, overall it's just been such an easy 3D printing experience

[@OriginaldoBo]

I’m always careful with printers sub 300 bucks so I make them give me two weeks to really abuse it and find its flaws. Overall it’s really impressive

[@coolergappney1943]

I use the ultimaker cura slicer and theres a setting in there to set your fan speed so its not balls to the wall. And i believe printables has free files for backstops for the build plate. If those are deal breakers for anyone.

[@eliaspujols5015]

Don't forget to mention the Smart Offset function which saves a lot of time.

[@DMDphotography]

Has that audio engineering at the end always been like that? The stereo bounce side to side. So bad ass. Nice tiny detail 👍👍 15:08

[@OriginaldoBo]

Yeah been doing it just a way to kill a track

[@MarcoAntonio_72]

Hey Ken! Love you 3d printer videos, do you happen to have a beginner tutorial series on all this? Like how to create something to print, configuring the printer, knowing what material to use?

[@OriginaldoBo]

Working on one

[@papotv85]

Thanks for your video I will be buying one. I was using a old xyz davinci my nephew had given me.

[@MichaelBiggerstaff-h5i]

Dude, I just got this for freakin $199!!!

[@Level_Up_Nation]

Even with the Kobra 2 Plus the phone app access to print from phone or USB drive doesn't work nor the send from slicer, person I talked to said that this is all still new and will be in the next update/patch.

[@OriginaldoBo]

It’s in the new firmware I just installed

[@Level_Up_Nation]

@@OriginaldoBo cool, I did a update yesterday after putting it together and it didnt work, will see if there is another one out.

[@gwhitenorth7345]

Which would you choose for general drone hobby printing? This printer or the Bambu A1 mini (without the AMS)?

[@OriginaldoBo]

The difference is 150 ish between the two, the build volume is a little small on the A1 but the ecosystem is slightly better

[@josephvo223]

@@gwhitenorth7345 i'm using my mod direct drive to old elegoo neptune 2 and 3 printers in my mod. It better than bambulab. tpu can print best with your settings and right extruder without big price

[@PaulFeinberg]

Good stuff! Love the mic handles of course lol 😂 I wouldn’t mind getting a 3D printer in the future to print Green camera accessories….one day. Solid as always! Stay Original!

[@ChristiaanRoest79]

Thanks for sharing Ken. Is it hard to make things with a 3d printer? I have never had one.

[@OriginaldoBo]

It’s simple , and once you start you won’t stop lol

[@Troy707]

Once you get the Kobra 2 pro you’ll be on your way to easy 3D printing! I have one and I love it.

[@Rich10000]

How are the larger prints? Sent my creality back because just couldn't get the bed level even with auto bed leveling

[@Xljoaquinlx]

To fix the Anycubic app slice and remote printing not working usually just go into your printer setting and toggle WiFi off and on to fix

[@OriginaldoBo]

It’s working now

[@jasonburnside3626]

Any link to an example filament spool holder to shorten the width size profile? Thanks

[@OriginaldoBo]

Look up Elegoo filament dryer

[@bobreichel]

When adding g-code by means of the usb stick is there a specific place to add it. I put mine on the usb, but the printer didn't recognize it. I'm using Anycubic slicer on Mac.

[@arvfishing]

You have to add it in the slicer, export the STL to your USB stick, and print it. No way to send gcode to it. You can downgrade the firmware, open up the main board, and plug in for serial port access, then SSH to it. This printer sucks and they want to lock it down so hard. I am requesting a return on mine.

[@PrestonJensen]

Been thinking about getting a 3d printer. They market the bambu A1 mini very well making it look like a beginner’s dream. The build volume is just so small compared to the competition. This model seems great however seems a bit less user friendly. I like your 3d printing content. I’ve been watching closely trying to find the perfect one for my shop.

[@coolergappney1943]

I bought the step down of this the kobra 2 neo for my first printer, it took me 10 minutes to assemble and within an hour i had my first bechy from anycubics samples on the SD. I techincally didnt even level the bed right. I just set the extruder sort of close let the auto level do its work and it was good. My boss thought it was cool and he bought one and had it going reasonably quick (he's an old top)

[@predur4136]

I can't set the best settings with CURA, do you have any presets to recommend? I don't even find the official anicubic one optimal, not even for 250mm/s

[@Wes-ui3pu]

This or the dremel 3d20???

[@ILLINOISSIRENFAN]

Been looking at getting a anycubic fdm printer I like this one but the build plate is a little small I think I’m going to go for the anycubic Kobra 2 plus instead which I think is a better choice

[@OriginaldoBo]

Plus might be the move for larger prints

[@andrewlongfellow8745]

Hey I was curious what sets Bambu apart from this as far as something you would use to run your business off?

[@OriginaldoBo]

Speed and quality

[@andrewlongfellow8745]

@@OriginaldoBo this one has the speed of a Bambu. So the quality on a Bambu is just that much better?

[@raivelon8082]

After a few weeks of searching which 3d printer would be best for me I have come down to Anycubic Kobra 2 Pro and Creality Ender 3 KE. Does anybody have some info how these two compare and what factors should I consider ? Also I can get the Kobra2 Pro slightly cheaper.

[@jst1man]

A little hurricane? I'm sorry, it's not that bad, i have it and it's not worse than the older one or my Anycubic Mega Zero 2.

[@quit-button]

Are they still locked down to Anycubic cloud for wireless printing, or can they now be used without internet ? I also understand the firmware is closed even though its based on klipper. I didn't think they are allowed to do that?

[@OriginaldoBo]

Yeah still locked to Anycubic

[@Perkeletricksterservantofrher]

proprietary nozzle ?

[@OriginaldoBo]

No it’s a volcano nozzle

[@Perkeletricksterservantofrher]

Aurora tech was saying it is until it get near the hole it's smaller diameter. but that was the Kobra 2 non pro.@@OriginaldoBo

[@MichelleGianni]

Any thoughts on running a small farm (4x of these printers) 24-7

[@OriginaldoBo]

It’s definitely a solid choice from a cost perspective of course

[@MrJmduffy]

As always 👍👍

[@aaron6516]

If you like it then I can get it!!

[@beardedchild]

What if you just 3d print some pegs for back stopper lol

[@OriginaldoBo]

Heat would warp them eventually

[@arvfishing]

I have had one for two months and there are many issues with it. The bed warps easily, is proprietary, has no serial or network interface, no SSH access, horrible support, the slicer sucks and only sends prints via network half the time, limited settings, etc. You WILL have issues with first layer setup, auto bed leveling isn't accurate so you will have to use a piece of paper and move the axis around, etc. Yes, if you want something that works OK out of the box and it is your first printer then go for it but you will be upgrading to something better. Do yourself a favor and skip this and buy a Bambu.

[@emperorkalel]

Why isn't anyone reviewing the kobra 2 plus?

[@OriginaldoBo]

No idea, I don’t look around at what others are doing

[@emperorkalel]

@@OriginaldoBo why even respond?

[@MrEddieNunez]

Lets gooooooooo

[@OriginaldoBo]

Hi Papi

[@woodfinchcrafts7267]

Its going back - lots of software bugs, but more importantly really poor print quality (much worse than an old Mega S).

[@Brianchse]

You must have gotten a defective printer. I have this exact printer been using it for a few months now have had zero issues great print quality.

[@woodfinchcrafts7267]

@@Brianchse I suspect so. The "quality" wasn't bad - it was non existent. But the software is buggy

[@Brianchse]

@@woodfinchcrafts7267 you talking about the built in control software, or the design and slicer software? I don't use the design/slicer software they provide. I use Cura.

[@raduoltean4468]

Yeah, i have some issues too , I got a print with firmware version 1.x and no way to update it, ironically I can't update it because 1.1.0 don't know how to update itself and Anycubic is not giving any firmware update 😂
