Does it take my breath away or do something no-one else has tried before?
But the Anycubic Kobra 2 manages what it sets out to do provide fast but accurate prints exceptionally well.
So far as filament machines go, it’s a contender for our list of thebest 3D printers.
Sure, the recommended level is 200mm/s, but still that’s incredibly nippy.
Actually building the printer is just as straightforward.
Speed is the Kobra 2’s secret sauce.
Anycubic says that it’s six times faster than standard, and it certainly doesn’t hang about.
This puts it in the same ballpark as theCreality Ender-5 S1, an equally nimble machine.
(The S1 had been my go-to printer until then.)
In addition, I preferred the design of Anycubic’s extruder fan.
It feels a little more slick than the Ender-5 S1’s mass of black plastic.
Oh, and I’d wager that it’severso slightly more efficient.
Prints wouldn’t take quite as long on the Kobra 2 as they would with the Ender-5 S1.
It’s very loud.
Fortunately, this is my one and only criticism.
Everything else works swimmingly not least the self-leveling software.
After setting it to auto-level, it’s been spot-on ever since.
Should you buy the Anycubic Kobra 2?
The quality doesn’t suffertoomuch, either.
This puts it head and shoulders above rival machines, and the self-leveling tech keeps it there.
