The Anycubic KOBRA MAX REVIEW

[@3DPrintingNerd]

In an email I was told the price on Amazon would be $599. I just checked, and Anycubic has it listed on Amazon for $739. I really hope this is an accident and I wasn't given incorrect information.

[@user-eu2pb9rr4l]

Havent seen this model before, could you link the stls in the description?

[@Darlypants]

On Anycubic's own website it is $639 so, yes, it looks like it's $100 more than you were told.

[@Bigdog1787]

I don't know how they be able to sell it at any of those prices should be $1200 I think.🤭

[@3DPrintingNerd]

@@user-eu2pb9rr4l STLs linked in the description now.

[@twoheadedpanthr]

It's up to $639 on their site. Edit* That was for DE. US is $569

I AM SO HAPPY YOU SAW IT!!!

[@MrZhAlex]

All your engines are cool. Thanks!

[@taylorpeterson7015]

that’s what she said

[@cooldoodiguess]

such a cool engine!!

[@mickeysimmons6310]

I have a anycubic Chiron with the same bed and you have to let the bed cool. Even under the print. People will touch the bed and think it's cool but under the print not so much. I come back a couple hours after the print finishes and even large prints will pop off with little effort. You can also reduce your bottom layer flow rate a bit. Will help if your prints are sticking to much on any printer.

[@grantdeisig1360]

Just a tip I've learned that I want to share to everyone watching. When removing tpu from glass, do it while the glass is still hot. It's a lot easier to peel off that way. Otherwise once it cools down it holds to glass like glue! I like to catch it right at the end of the print and peel it off. I've tried reheating the glass after it has cooled down and that didn't seem to help much either. Happy printing.

[@joblessalex]

Tpu you just roll the model up. Super ez.

[@amicloud_yt]

Whenever I print TPU I do the same AND squirt a little bit of 99% isopropyl alcohol. It comes off so easily with just a tiny bit of alcohol

[@frogmandave1]

This applies to all printing surfaces.

[@AndreasHammerschmidt]

TPU should be printet without a heated bed. I reactivated my Flashforge Finder which has no heated bed and it prints perfectly (and it's my only direct extruder ;))

[@IbisFernandez]

Yeah I found that just reheating the bed helps to release the print when you're ready to take it off the bed.

[@raetheon8897]

I flipped the plate over to the glass and had no problems with removing my prints once it cooled down. Also, I replaced the plastic bearing wheels with metal ones and no squeaking. Still going strong with no other issues . . . for now! 🍻 💪🏾

[@phooniotv]

hey man just wondering, can you give an update if u still use it and if theres a yes or a no then tell me why? im thinking about getting one myself.. or is it outdated?

[@Fnipper2]

I just stumbled upon this looking for Cura settings and you hit the nail on the head. I'm still playing with Cura just to see what works best, but out of the gate this thing was printing SO much better than my CR10 ever did.

[@3DPrintingNerd]

My Cura settings were Vyper, but with correct bed dimensions. CRAZY how good it prints straight away right?

[@greenrocksmysocks]

I keep searching for the best kobra max settings, my prints just string CONSTANTLY and after playing with temp, retraction and speed for days I just can't get the finish right. Where do you find these settings? :(

[@markwilliamson4006]

Joel, I enjoyed your review as always. I've been using flexible build plates on all my machines for a couple of years now, and I'll never go back to using tape or glue or whatever. Really can't see why you would ever want to mess with any of those methods when the flex plates are so easy to install (if the machine doesn't come with one) and so convenient to use.

[@wyannick888]

Which one do you use?

[@McBearyOne]

But did you find one which is 400x400? I can‘t finde one that size.

[@250tegra]

@@McBearyOne - it's a year or two ago now, but we bought a small sheet of stainless steel on eBay, then trimmed it to fit our i3 - it even has an insulated handle! I'd certainly give that a try, it was not costly.

[@3DMusketeers]

Very interesting setup for the Y. I dont mind how they did that oddly, figured I would. Distributing the load over 2 rails with lots of wheels is nice, but may lead to issues with those bearings with HEAVY prints. Any luck oiling the bearings? It sounded to me that it might have been in the extruder!

[@stevendanz6681]

The other oddity with the name is the non-max Kobra is a direct drive (and has the flex plate) which makes the Max even more like a Vyper.

[@TestName286]

You would think printers would get better in the future, but it seems like anycubic is just hashing out the same thing

[@petercallison5765]

The Kobra is Anycubics answer to the Ender 3 S1 Sprite.

[@goofylookingmofo]

Very interested in this Were the magnets reversed on the tool drawer? IE - auto-eject mode?

[@petercallison5765]

That is a creality thing.

[@andy-in-indy]

It is like an upgraded Chiron: all the new features and most of the upgrades. Things I did not see in the review: is there a filament run out sensor? Does the filament sensor detect stopped/jammed filament? Is the bed heating evenly? Does it resume properly after a power fail? Does the firmware allow notifications back to Octoprint when the filament runs out? Does the bed have amosfet so I can keep it powered after power loss?

[@virtualspaceoft3501]

I feel always so excited when there is new 3D printer with a large print volume in the market. I need an after some months review for Kobra Max. Is there some problem or needed repairment in this following months? Thanks for this video and your review Covering the plate with scotch could be an option for models not to stick on? I saw in some other videos but I wanted to ask you. Thanks

[@b3nny90]

I have a anycubic chiron and it's an awesome machine for the most part I have used it a lot more than my ender 3. All the issues you're facing with the kobra I've had with the chiron which is disappointing given there is a few years between them you'd think they would have figured that out already. Blue masking tape has been my go to for my prints on the glass to help it release. I wish they released the nozzle bed levelling for aftermarket.

[@ChakaHamilton]

I have the Chiron as well, and after watching "This Korba Max looks suspiciously like an upgraded Chiron." 🤔

[@lonewolfsstuck]

My suggestion for the glass holding too well.. flip the glass so the smooth side is up. Much less bed adhesion but enough it holds really well.

[@pilonietadesign]

Joel, I have not been able to get one good print. I have layers shift all over and poor quality layers. what slicer do you used?

[@thegamerhashira]

Hey quick question I’ve been looking for a good big printer and this looks like the one I might be getting the only question I have is in your opinion do you think this has good bed adhesion?

[@x9x9x9x9x9]

My experience with anycubic machines are they are either really damn good out of the box. Like insanely good... Or you get a dud and wires are disconnected, the bed is warped (actually that's on all machines from China not just anycubic), the motors are noises the belts aren't tensioned well, the ad card slot is faulty. It's weird how how good anycubic QC at times and how terrible they can be at others.

[@ryangamble5131]

Agreed. My vyper prints so beautifully. Glad I got lucky. And it was a $150 Amazon returned printer!

[@printitpaintit.2436]

Yer I purchased 2 mega S's they were fantastic so I brought the Chiron and wow what a mess, motor held in by 1 screw, wires lose and one motor trying to drive the heavy bed ment poor quality prints!! I brought 2 mono x's for my KZbin channel one broke down after 4 months and the second broke after just 7 weeks. Anycubic customer service was absolutely terrible after 12 weeks with no fix I asked elegoo because I picked up a saturn in sales they fixed them in 3hs!! 🙄🙈

[@BrunodeSouzaLino]

That's a small problem called "Lack of QA." That used to be a long meme in the guitar industry with Gibson, where subpar instruments were said to be done on Friday night.

[@silverraider2688]

One of the first things I got for my CR6 max was the flex plate, so much better than the glass. Which this looks like a very close 2nd cousin of the cr6 max.

[@landfallstudio3482]

Have you run into any issues with it stopping mid print?

[@silverraider2688]

@@landfallstudio3482 I had blockage issues on anything longer than 2 days until I upgraded the hotend cooling fan

[@joshjosh7308]

I have had the Chiron for years and have been satisfied with it. I have had things stick to the bed too hard, but I always use washable water gluestick now, and things come off quickly. It is built cheaply, though, and I have had to replace many parts. Luckily any cubic always sent them to me for free based on warranty. I did add a direct drive to mine instead of Bowden now, I had issues with the filament extruder just chewing up filament before, and I use it with a palette as well. The majority of the time, everything prints well for me. I upgraded all the parts and printed high-temp with it. When it is time for an upgrade, I will go with the max. as far as price is concerned, I don't see too many other printers that are competitive with it based on size and capabilities.

[@timothyfraeyman8667]

For those printing TPU and having trouble removing it from Flexible Beds.remove the be from the machine and go to the sink and drench that print in isopropyl alcohol and carefully remove the part with or without the help of a spatula

[@durrellbowden5495]

Thank God I ordered the extra satin build plate. I had a feeling it was available for a reason. My first printer was the Photon D2. I loved it so much 3 days later I ordered the Kobra Max bundle with a extra build plate I paid like $650 for the bundle with extra filament and build plate

[@jessewaldner9432]

Hi Joel. I was wondering what slicer you are using for the Anycubic Kobra Max.

[@ge2719]

The problem with the tolerances not working when scaling... Thats another power of designing a model parametrically. If you want to scale it afterwards you can do it with changing one number. If you use the parameters correctly. Always start with a "scale" parameter, set to 1. Include that scale parameter with ever measurement that is an actual dimension. so like "body_height_a*scale" But dont include it in the tolerances. You should even use parameters for every tolerance so you can tweak those in the entire model afterwards with the change of one number. So say the tolerances need to be 0.1mm when you print with a 0.4mm nozel, but you switch to a 0.8 to print larger and it needs to be a larger tolerance, no problem. Change one number.

[@SwervingLemon]

Any time I get one of the beds with the silicon-carbide surface, I flip it over and print on the naked glass. While carborundum does a great job of holding onto models with a small footprint, the risk to my nozzle, combined with the weird behaviour on some filaments (black silk - might as well have been welded to the bed), makes it not worth it on anything but finicky prints in basic PLA. Another great video, Joel! Thanks for posting!

[@Randy-bx9qs]

Have you considered G10/FR4 for the build surface? I switched from Creality's glass bed to the 1/16" G10/FR4 and it's amazing, the prints stick great during printing and slide right off when it cools and it's flexible so you can flex it to pop prints off as well and you don't need to heat bed with TPU.

[@ataweiam7]

Do you just buy a sheet and cut it to size?

[@kukulcangod1]

I have got the latest Cobra Max,-still in the box- About the plate...I would use a heat gun in the meantime to help release the print from those areas because I know it could even take a chunk of your plate I drastic enough. Remember it is designed to hold large prints. Thank you for your great reviews, Joel!!

[@3DPrintingNerd]

Thanks for watching!

[@legendarytoys]

Would you recommend this as a upgrade or a newer version for the ANYCUBIC chiron ?

[@dtech1224]

Thanks great video I have coming in two weeks. A question? When doing your first leveling did you lower your bed completely down before auto leveling?

[@joshuacrossing7117]

Hey! Nice Job! Have you fixed the sticky base problem? what brown butcher paper, or a light coat of vegitabe oil? Just got a AnyCubic Photon Mono X, so much to learn! Thanks again!

[@overeasymode]

I'm looking to get into 3d printing for the first time, so I don't know anything about this subject. But I'm a good cook and often use parchment paper to cook things on. (Life hack - No washing dishes). That's rated to about 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Would it be possible to use a sheet of parchment paper to save your base?

[@labosecret]

Hello Joel! I saw your review about the Kobra Max. So, after 2 month and i think, many print. What do you think ? Is this printer still a good choice for printing large parts?

[@djcosmic2]

Do you have Cura settings? What did you use to slice?

[@ScytheNoire]

This seems to be a user issue, not the bed. Are you using the carborundum glass bed properly? Once they cool down, the parts just fall off. So if you are trying to take it off while the bed is hot, yes, it will stick, that's what it is designed to do. You have to wait for it to cool to remove the part, and then it will just lift off without issue.

[@IbisFernandez]

I'm inclined to get one of these. In your expert opinion what is the best 3d printer i can get right now for under $1000. I'm looking for something "functional" , i don't want 3d printing as a hobby, i don't want to print thing that i can get at a 99 cent store, I'm looking for real functionality without having to spend hours tinkering with the printer, fixing and upgrading. I just want the brunt of my work to be kept in the design and development of the products that i need and not to focus on the printer itself. (Also ideally I would like to be able to print in large format but its not a deal breaker. some of the items i need to design are about 17" long)

[@the_vr_potato1768]

How would you go about getting a flexible bed instead of a glass bed?

[@markheim2633]

I bought the original Anycubic Viper about a year ago. The auto leveling sensor went bad on it. Anycubic sent me out a new kit and harnessed to rebuild it. Spent about two hours rebuilding with the new harness and pressure sensitive board. Now the auto bed leveling works perfect except the filament feed no longer works. I order a new stepper motor plugged it in and it made several weird sounds then went dead. So it this point the printer is just sitting in the corner. If it's the main board I have no idea how to fix it. I would think twice about buying this product.

[@petercallison5765]

I have had filament feed issues with Vypers and it was just a loose grub screw on the extruder gear.

[@kennyberube937]

Would you say its worth buying the extra parts for it such as the Heated Bed For Anycubic Kobra Max, Glass Plate for Anycubic Kobra Max, Bearing Pulley for Chiron/Vyper/Kobra series 5Pcs, Extruder for Anycubic Kobra Max/Plus, Hotend for Anycubic Kobra Max, Motherboard For Anycubic Kobra Max?

[@FinalDriveGame]

3:50 is it just me or does the nozzle look slightly crooked?

[@dee5556]

About the glass bed adhesion... did you try lowering the recommended bed temperature for the material? I have found with other bed surfaces that the amount of bed adhesion could be controlled by raising or lowering bed temp.

[@760creations]

A ton of people in the Vyper Facebook group begged them to make it so you can adjust the Z-Offset in 0.01 increments... And they just don't listen. Hope you as a larger creator will be able to convince them!

[@Range-Report]

Great video. I just ordered the Kobra Max because I was dissatisfied with the Shark V3 that I was using. My issue was bed adhesion. Nothing I tried would allow things to stay locked in position. I was losing 20 prints for every one that was marginally successful. Now, I'm afraid that I will have the opposite problem with adhesion. What do you recommend for an interface that will allow the prints to release easier...other than resorting to a flexible plate....not that I would even know where to get one. Any input would be stellar.

[@3DPrintingNerd]

Look into getting a magnetic flex plate for the machine!

[@diob123]

I liked the review so I brought one. I assembled it and plugged it in, turned it on and nothing, lets see how long it takes to fix.

[@3DPrintingNerd]

Nothing? Is the voltage selector set right?

[@diob123]

Anycubic Customer Support diagnosed a faulty board and sent me a new board, It arrived on 13/10. I installed it and it is running now. I noted the board I removed had an X on the main processor, this would suggest it was tested and should never have been put into a machine.

[@gjuniorX]

First of all, great video, love the humor lol. Question I have is this printer big enough to handle 1/32 scale models of sections for assembling buildings, I tried finding info on what size of 3D printer needed for 1/32 scale with no luck, will this one work or one of the cheaper costing Kobra's, thanks for any help...

[@DanielBipes]

On the fence between this and the Mingda Magician Pro. Which has almost identical specs but direct drive. Would you recommend one over the other?

The printer look good and all but what Stephan did with the stl is way more intriguing to me lool. He probably remodeled it to adjust the clearance that well for sure, working with an stl file is such a pain

[@GreshTube]

Gotta idea… Great non biased review btw. The world needs them all to be like this. Thanks. So… I’m curious. Do you think a piece of RAM board (heavy duty super thin cardboard) would work? If not then maybe even a brass plate Or even aluminum foil wrapped around the plate and when done peel it away. Grabbin at straws. I’ve been window shopping these printers looking for tool and machinery part print capabilities. This model looks best so far(from my POV) any tips let me know. Thanks again

@@3DPrintingNerd Thank you! I noticed several differences like the reinforcement of the Z, they add two belts on the Y but use only one stepper motor, the "auto-level" is now using the nozzle and is not requiring the add microswitch attachment. I think the bed is the same, works good with PLA, new LCD design, not sure if it's better and a new hot end design but that's about it. And they had a big sale on the Chiron a few days ago so to me this looks like a very similar machine and the UPGRADES are not that clear to me, perhaps I am missing something? The price is OK but only if you plan to print big, otherwise I would go with a Prusha. Cheers!

I got the at squeak on a few of my printers as well, it was actually the cooling fan rubbing on the cowl of the print head, the blades where too loose on the fan and they wobbled enough to make that noise, also, in the case of my CR6 SE to rub a groove in the cowling housing. A fan swap fixed the issue, but it is a bummer that it happens form the factory like that.

easy removing: just use cfk plates in the right size, clamp them down with these metal-paper-clamps. grind it a little bit with 300 grit and use 3dlac for adhesion. bed temperature while printing about 80°C. when cooling off, the print will just fall off. works with most materials. PP for example doesnt work.

It is a vyperized Chiron. I sell 3D printers so I see all the faults and the only time I ever saw a piece of glass pulled off the bed was on the Anycubic 4Max Pro. Problem with this is the Chiron is very reliable and cheap. Hard to justify the massive price jump over that one.

Found the answer myself in case someone needs it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pGrMgZKtpdGlpNE

Don't know if you still need a reply, but for my Kobra Max, I recommend 38 inches on both width and depth, and 30 inches of height. This should give you an inch of clearance in each direction.

2:15 printing large prints with brim might help removing it since you have that flexible space to get the spatula under.

Where’s fan mail Friday !! Lol great review as always good sir

[@nerys71]

0.05 is 50% of 0.1 and 25% of 0.2. that's plenty. might have a consistency problem when touching off for the offset? If that is like the chiron sadly the Sc plate is permanently attached to the very thin aluminum. its my only real complaint about the chiron (predecessor to this one)

Great Video, made me buy it 😂 Which profile did you use in CURA? I’m thinking the Vyper Profile and adjusting the build volume?

[@Mendiesel86]

Also, is the bed actually 400x400 or 410x410? Want to order a PEI sheet before I use it

Hi Joel, can you post a link for the Knight? Thanks!

[@dungeonsdoodads4306]

I'm debating buying one of these, any advice on where to get a flexible build plate upgrade?

[@alonraz6477]

G-10 works great for me on my sovol SV03 as a build plate! As long as the z-offset is about right, it grips everything!

Joel…. I use bumble and bumble oil free finishing spray on my build surfaces. I first spray the area lightly, then bake to 90 untill it’s done drying. Abs and other prints so good with this. It’s the only thing I can find that will really hold down well but release when cool. And I’ve tried a lot of sprays. I dare you to test. Say good bye to glue sticks..
