Anycubic Kobra 3 V2 3D Printer Only, Support Multi-Color 3D Printing Need with Additional Anycubic ACE Pro, Max 600mm/s High Speed, Built-in Camera Higher Precision Higher Success Rates 255×255×260mm

I have been 3d printing as a hobby for about 8 years (as of 2025). I have both FDM and resin printers and have seen the evolution through the years. This printer is by far the easiest to set up and prints excellently right out of the box. I used Anycubic PLA and PETG and it just works. The slicer has great feature and it is fast. I highly recommend this printer, especially if you are new to printing and want to jump right in. Add the ACE on when you are comfortable to get multi-color and material options. Great printer to get up and running with Multiboard BTW.

The media could not be loaded. The printer itself is good, but mine came with a bent Z axis, a damaged plastic piece near where the camera should be and a broken anti wobble for one of the Z axis also came broken.Contacted anycubic support. Two weeks and no communication backOther notable issues: The cable scheme scratches the frame during operation (will damage the cover of the USB-C cable and tubing over time), the inbuilt dispenser creates to much drag and enters on an awkward angleI'm willing to change this review score based on support response, but at the moment i'm not happy with the banding created by this issue, nor the way the Z coupler hovers over the motor creating axial forces that will keep bending the Z axis.Edit: It was on spam, they replied 9 days ago. They are ofering just sending the z wobble part, but the worst problem for me is the bent z axle. still i'm bumping to 3 stars for their supportEdit of the EDIT: They offered to replace both Z axles and the broken pieces. Superb communication and support actually, so bumping the review Score once again

I did not have any sort of high expectations for this printer at all. I knew it was cheap and did not expect anything crazy. Just wanted an entry level printer as I havent had one since back in the days of manual leveling and needed a hobby to pass some time.This thing has been absolute garbage since day 1. I had printers almost 8 yrs ago that printed more consistently than this can. The bed leveling is for show. It does nothing for you, and anycubic has their software so locked down that you can't even see a mesh profile to see if it's even making one.Hope you like horrible software too as you are stuck using anycubic next or the anycubic phone app. Oh, careful with the phone app. If you send a print remotely, even with bed leveling beforehand, you may just come home to a print bed that has been scraped clean and destroyed by the "auto-leveled" nozzle. Also, don't expect a response from anycubic support about the issue either. So if you do make the mistake of purchasing this right now make sure you get some spare nozzles and build plates, you'll probably need them. Oh also it doesn't say it on this listing but a good amount of these printers come with a defective hotend that anycubic WILL replace, once it overflows and fills your whole extruder with globs of filament 👍🏼but not before that. Just to be clear.The gantry is crooked more times than not. You can relevel it, but don't you fret, it will be crooked again in no time. Why? Who knows. Oh and be sure that you keep your eye on the bed as you tram it as light pressure will also tweak the bed just enough to misalign your gantry if you're not careful enough.Does it print fast? Sure. Do some people have decent luck with it? Absolutely. But all in all it's an extremely low grade printer with a whole host of problems that can easily be mitigated by just spending a tiny bit more on literally any other printer than this one. I went in with very low expectations and was still massively let down. I spent more hours doing test prints to try and fix this damn thing than I did actually printing anything. Now I'm outside of the return window and am not cruel enough to pawn this POS off on anyone else. Maybe I'll deconstruct it and make a statue of the parts, or throw it into a ravine.

Quality prints and speed are great.Setup was not bad once you read through the manual. I got this printer without ACE but will be making the purchase in next few months. If you can get the combo with ACE do it.Slicer program can take some time to understand if you are new. Just read and take your time google terms you do not know and you will be up and printing in no time.The auto level is a big game changer as I come from older Ender series where we use paper checks the nozzle distance.One major recommendation right off the bat -Buy/Use some vibration dampening pads for your table and the printer. This is a powerful slinger and will cause strong shaking / vibrations at times. ( I got them on Amazon about 10 to 12 bucks )

I have had a few problems but Amazon took care of them. Now I have a few months under my belt it works well. When I first got it it didn’t print well at all. I had to zero it out but after I got it worked out it’s worked well. For the price it a good little machine.

This is a great printer! My son has two other 3D printers, but they only have the capability to print in one color. This can print in up to 4 colors. One note, which I didn't realize when I ordered it, you do need to have the ANYCUBIC ACE Pro 4 Mulitcolor Printing to be able to print in up to 4 colors. We ended up ordering it so he could print multicolor. I am gald we did. He has been so creative with his designs and has made some impressive things. He says the print quality is excellent. He even made personalized door signs for his brother's hockey team. This is a great little printer!
