The process is straightforward and comprehensive, yielding impressive results like clockwork.
With the Anycubic Kobra 3 Combo, 3D printers are really starting to show off.
Marvelous though they are, most machines are only able to print with one color at a time.
Changing between shades means manually faffing about with different filaments, and it’s a drag.
With the Anycubic Kobra 3 Combo, though?
Honestly, I never want to go back.
The machine will then swap between those spools as and when you want.
No matter what approach you take, you’ll get resultsfast.
In contrast to its predecessors, the Kobra 3 is able to achieve speeds of up to 600mm/s.
Considering how most printers start to sweat if they approach 300mm/s, that’s astounding.
These aren’t its only bells and whistles, either.
Multi-color printing brings a pinch of that magic back for me.
Let’s say you wanted to print Bowser from Super Mario.
The Kobra 3 will do the work for you.
In theory, anyway.
With that in mind, I loaded up some Kill Team black and orange and got to work.
I’ve had issues with Anycubic’s systems before, but this one works surprisingly well.
I didn’t feel as if I needed a programming degree to operate it, either.
To start with, prepping files in Anycubic’s slicer was easy.
I mostly did the latter, because it seemed to be the path of least resistance.
And for the most part, it was.
Alright, so there’s a learning curve.
Missing a side will exponentially increase print time because the Kobra 3 is endlessly swapping colors, too.
Even if you’re not printing with multiple colors, the finished product is still impressive.
Even the handful of cosplay items I’ve used it on look grand.
The only thing to watch out for would be the Ace Pro getting itself into a pickle.
Equally, the Kobra 3 itself isn’t immune to classic printer problems like blockages.
Should you buy the Anycubic Kobra 3 Combo?
Veterans will find enough to tinker with to create impressive masterpieces, too.
He used a variety of filament types and projects from different creators.
