So the NEO!
One-touch Leveling
Equipped with the self-innovated Anycubic LeviQ automatic leveling system. 25-point intelligent and precise calibration and hardware algorithm to automatically compensate for the unevenness of hotbed, leveling has never been so easy.
Integrated Extruder for Precise Filament Extrusion
The extruder is integrated within the hot end, making it easier to replace the filament with a lower failure rate. Moreover, an integrated extruder can deliver the filament more efficiently and precisely.
Adhesive PEI Spring Steel Platform for Easy Removal
The printing platform is made of magnetic spring steel, which is wear-resistant, less breakable, and bendable. The finished miniatures can be removed quickly by bending the build platform slightly. The magnetic design makes it easy to install and remove.
10 Minutes Easy Set Up
The 4-modular design makes it possible to set up the printer within 10 minutes, which makes KOBRA Neo a good choice for a beginner-friendly FDM 3D printer.
High Printing Speed
Anycubic KOBRA Neo prints at a typical speed of 6cm/s and reaches 10cm/s at its highest, which is possible to speed up 3D printing times without losing quality.
Larger Creation Dimension
Compared to the previous generation Anycubic Mega S, The Anycubic KOBRA Neo has a 34.4% increase in printing volume to 12.1 liters. The printing size is 220*220*250 mm, which is equivalent to the size of a standard size 5 football.

First 🥇

[@TheRealSamPrentice]

Of course !

[@L337f33t]

Picked this up on amazon for 129 usd. I loved it so much I sold my Ender3 v2 that I always had so much trouble with. This thing was way easier to assemble, calibrate, and go. I was up and printing in under an hour. I agree that a runout sensor would have been the Chef's kiss to make this a perfect 10/10 printer in this price category.

[@TitansRevenge3D]

I became an anycubic affiliate because I realized I have gravitated more and more towards their products. The price point is great for the features you get and the quality of the machines are great.

[@cauichMANDA]

Hello, great video, I still have a Kobra Neo, but I'm having problems printing parts, they come out with lines, by any chance could you make a video or share your Cura settings to print PLA 1.75 with a 0.4 nozzle?

[@Redtoothgames]

Hi do you happen to have a cura profile for the neo? I can't seem to find one.

[@Bfeebitty]

I have had a few issues lately with my printer and this seems to be the last one needed to work out. I just installed my Kobra Neo and printed a few calibration tests to test it. Worked great. Now that I have attempted to print larger pieces the first few layers go down fine but after a few layers the nozzle starts to drag against the previous layer and you see the carriage bouncing and making an awful noise. The z axis has no problems going all the way up or down when using control when I’m not printing, but when I’m printing it will Only go up a little bit and won’t go up any more. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong, im new to this….. I don’t know much about cura at all, but could it be something to do with my settings?? Please help

[@Zeltroix]

Have you adjusted the rollers on the other side of the x axis?

[@Mags53]

Could you share with me how I figure out the correct extrude amount and what the best Z level is? I’m trying to print cookie cutter and most of them have pretty visible lines.

[@1937Brett]

Was u able to get a filament sensor for this separately??

[@AndrewAHayes]

What I would like to see on new printers are dual independent Z axis and a G34 button in the GUI, also a fixed bed with ABL, also if the touchscreen's GUI does not have a fair share of Marlins advance features then dont bother with the touchscreen and fit a 12864 which is much more useable, I was taught in my product design course that user benefits far outweigh features, its far past time that the manufacturing budget for many of these affordable 3D printers is spent on more benefits!

[@Cee.Jay.71]

Mine is arriving tomorrow. I compared with Creality creality ender 3 v2 but reddit gave me plenty of reasons to go with the Anycubic. I've been 3D printing since the introduction of the Anet A8, which in retrospect was an incredible machine for it's day and a great learning experience. I also have an Anycubic Kossel Linear Plus which has never given me any problems.

[@franksilva3566]

I noticed that you used 3D Gloop PLA to glue the parts of the Rancor together, does it work permanently or is it temporary?

[@TheRealSamPrentice]

Thanks for your question, gloop melts the plastic and creates a bond so very permanent. I have a few projects on the go at the moment using gloop and I’ve found it to be awesome! For what I’ve been bonding

[@fitzknock]

Sam, liked your video. I have two Kobra Neos. The first one was able to print the owl, only after applying some stick glue to the bed so it would adhere. I have two good prints so far on the first one, but now the prints will only adhere for about 30 minutes into the build, then become detached and make a big bed of spaghetti? The second one has not given any complete prints. Any thoughts. Thanks. Kirk

[@TheRealSamPrentice]

Hey Kirk, I’d step the extruder down a little bit if it’s popping off to easily. The other thing would be increase the heat on the bed by 10 degrees :) let me know how you get on!

Can you measure the loudness? Or compare it subjectively to other printers like ender 3 V2 ?

[@TheRealSamPrentice]

Well I would say its quieter than the v2 for sure.

[@rhammond4656]

Hi, just seen this video, great help for me.. Thanks. Two questions if I may ask. Firstly did you manage to fit your own filament run out sensor, secondly, what is the PLA glup that you are using?

[@TheRealSamPrentice]

I’ve not fitted one yet no and I tend to use 3dlac :)

[@brezelbaker]

Info have a question I hope to get answered. I have a shelf where I want to put the printer and it only has a certain depth but I can allow to hang out in the front. So my question would be ... How much does it measure from the most backward point in the rear of the machine to the front most part that touches the ground (I assume one of the from feet. Can you tell me how many mm this is.

[@TheRealSamPrentice]

Tell me your maximum and I’ll tell you

[@brezelbaker]

@@TheRealSamPrentice my shelf depth has 34cm and telling from the video the front feet are pretty far behind from the outmost front measure ...

[@breezyfresh550]

I’m new and was wondering about the profiling on cura! Do I change any settings if I’m printing miniatures or just leave them? I believe I use the vyper profile right? I’m putting my kobra neo together tomorrow!

[@TheRealSamPrentice]

Thats up to you, and depending on the level of detail you require. You'll see settings like 0.2 build height and then 0.1 so generally 0.1 will give better detail than 0.2 due to that compression.

Is it possible to run 2.85mm in the anycubic kobra neo with a changed nozzle?

[@TheRealSamPrentice]

No you’d need a different extruder

[@dyops]

What's the difference between this and the standard? Right now there is a $10 price difference between both. I'm doing research for my first 3d printer. One feature I am looking for is printing TPU. Other printers I'm looking at are Ender 3 S1, Sovol SV01 Pro, and Elegoo Neptune 3. Also keeping an eye on the Biqu Hurakan but it's pricy for a Bowden driven printer but the company has great upgrade accessories.

[@TheRealSamPrentice]

as in the stock kobra ? Well the name mainly.. and the screen ;) Its a weird one I have the Hurakan on its way ;)

[@dyops]

@@TheRealSamPrentice 😂Yes, stock Kobra. Looking forward to your review of the Hurakan! As I said it's a bit pricey but looks promising with the amount of accessories Biqu/Bigtreetech have.

[@vablackbelt]

I'd stay clear of the ender for your first, I picked up the a Go and I'm excited for it

[@dyops]

@@vablackbelt I'd get the Go if I can upgrade it to a Neo later on. Problem with Anycubic is upgrading their products. Sovol is literally an Ender clone since most of their parts are from Creality so I'm sure I would be able to upgrade with some Ender accessories.

Anycubic has a serious QC problem. After relying on videos like this one I bought one of these printers. It arrived with the voltage selector switch unsoldered and rattling around in the case. Anycubic has a warranty program. I asked for a return or replacement. Anycubic refused, repeatedly, with no reason as to why they were unwilling to comply with their own warranty policy. For any one else in a similar situation with this terrible company remember that back charging is an option.

[@TheJordanJ]

Im doing that now with paypal, no response.

[@genericuser4266]

@@TheJordanJ Sorry you're going through the same thing I am. Anycubic responded to my dispute by claiming that I shouldn't get a refund because I didn't ship back the printer they refused to authorize me to ship back even though I asked them to repeatedly. Just an absolutely terrible company. If you used paypal with a credit card rather than a direct withdrawal from your bank account, disputing with the credit card and bypassing paypal is also an option. Good luck to both of us.

The Kobra Neo is unusable. Why? Website says: filament sensor supported. Dealer says: filament sensor supported. The board does not match the board shown in the official sensor installation video, and the Anycubic support says "Neo does not support a filament sensor". Turns out they switched production to a new board where the wiring is different and a sensor can no longer be installed. Oh, and it seems to also affect the newer (Oct 2022+) Kobra Go. They can't even get their technical specs right, instead they just copy the text over from the regular Kobra.

[@TheRealSamPrentice]

Unusable? If you’re a relying on a run out sensor you must be incredibly risk adverse. But… thank you for your “rant” on my channel. I’ll ask the questions tho and feedback.
