    Beautiful explanations. I watched a 15 minute video explaining filament types and that's all I know, you explained it perfectly and I did buy a kobra 2 pro on sale yesterday. Once again amazing explanation for beginners and first time buyers with benchmark prints galore and honest and unfiltered comparisons! Beautiful job! Have my subscription 😂

    Love the review-- It helped me settle on upgrading to this machine from my Anycubic i3 Mega. I'm just having issues figuring out which slicer to use and how to set it up optimally. For my first few prints I have just used Cura (it's what i'm comfortable with) and I had mixed results on lower speeds (80-100mm/s) and terrible results on a higher speed (300mm/s). Did you get better results from the PrusaSlicer or the Anycubic slicer?

    • @3DJake_Official
      @3DJake_Official  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Ah nice!!! So I haven't actually tried this with Cura but I have with Anycubic Slicer and Prusa Slicer. Anycubic Slicer is fine, it's incredibly similar to Prusa Slicer but I have all of my other printers on Prusa Slicer so I used that. Anycubic figured that people would use a third party slicer so they actually have a profile on their website for Prusa Slicer so download that and get it going. I have had excellent results with it :)

    I am new at TH-cam, and I saw your video, really great! I liked that you provided many test prints;-) How long does it take to heat up the print bed and nozzle? I am not sure if it has a ceramic heater element (maybe 40Watts) and an insulated pad underneath the print area.
    I would also like to ask if we can quick swap the nozzle (or doesn’t it have a dotherboard with the hotend‘s and Thermistor‘s connectors?
    Looking forward to your reply.

    • @3DJake_Official
      @3DJake_Official  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It definitely has more than 40 watts, heat up time is quite quick, easily quicker than most. The heated bed is actually not insulated on the underside. Technically you could install a quick swap hotend like a Revo but it would be a big design job. The printhead has a daughterboard and the hotends connections are pretty standard

    Are they still locked down to Anycubic cloud for wireless printing, or can they now be used without internet ? I also understand the firmware is closed even though its based on klipper. I didn't think they are allowed to do that?

    • @3DJake_Official

      Yeah the Kobra 2 Pro is light years ahead of the Mega X. You'll see a huge difference. If you want to use the same filament that you did with the Mega X then I would recommend it. But if you want to print more technical filament then something else would be better.

    Hi Jake, thanks for a great video. I am absolutely new to 3D printing and opted straight for the Kobra 2 Pro and glad that I did. I've been able to print out the test files but that's as far as it goes. You can only throw around so many spiders.
    I bought a second hand Makerbot Digitizer and am able to create the 3D image files using Makerware but the files save as Makerbot_auto_file or thing_auto_file and I can't seem to find a converter to produce a printable model file. The system I'm using is Windows 11 but at a push I could dig out an old iMac 2004 to try to use fusion 360 but I'm reluctant to go down that route. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    • @3DJake_Official
      @3DJake_Official  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hmm not that familiar with Makerware but I think you can only open those files using Makerbot print and there should be an export to stl using that program....I think... I'm not entirely sure.

    • @johnjenkins3248
      @johnjenkins3248 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi Jake thanks for the reply. I've worked around an answer to the problem. Scan with Makerbot Digitizer, save the makerbot file into MY Things as a Makerware file, save that into whichever folder you are saving your files to as an STL file. Import this file into the Slicer of your choice (Prusa/Cura) [I've used both]. Then Slice into G Code to print.
      Thanks again for your time and great Vids. John.

    Thanks for the review. A how-to video to swap colors would be great. I've hunted around the I've the internet and some people have been posting saying that programming in a pause isn't an easy thing. Being very new to all this I recognize some people have difficulties and if it is possible to swap filament for a new color on a new layer that a video would help lots of people and likely get lots of views.

      I just tested it and unfortunately it doesn't support filament swap commands from slicers. We're actually doing a short video involving filament swaps this week. I think you're right, it would be useful to do a little video about what printers actually do support filament swaps and how to use it.

    I’ve been wanting to get a 3D printer for a while. This printer seems like the one, but I’m not sure what type of things you can print with the type of filaments you specified. I’m thinking replacement parts for stuff and things like that. What does one normally print with those types of filaments?

    • @3DJake_Official
      @3DJake_Official  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      You can print PLA, PETG, and TPU. PLA is normally used for cosmetic items but can also be used for items which don't require that much strength, things that don't carry a huge amount of weight you could print from PLA. PETG is stronger though so we would recommend that for higher strength. TPU is flexible so there are limited uses for it but its incredibly tough.
      You can also get PLA Plus filament which is PLA but stronger so easy to print and hard wearing too.

    Ive got 2 standard kobra 2 printers and often get layer shifts running the latest 3.0.6 filmware,Can you make a video on difference between the 2 printers (kobra 2 vrs kobra 2 pro) and possibly matching the 2 printer speed maybe with klipper being installed on the non pro version?
    Thanks

    • @3DJake_Official
      @3DJake_Official  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I don't think its possible to install klipper on the Kobra 2 without swapping the board. Really the only difference between the two is the speed and the touchscreen, everything else is pretty much the same.

  • @KomeiHarada
    @KomeiHarada 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Thank you for the great video!
    My Kobra 2 Pro starts by printing a vertical thin line 4 cm from left, then a thick line along the bottom edge, then starts printing. It seems to do the same in the review videos I watched. The vertical line may overlap with the actual printing area for a big print. Is there a way to make it print the first line near the left edge?

    • @pixlheart2369
      @pixlheart2369 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      That line is called a purge line, many 3d printers use them because theyre quite useful: u dont need a skirt to clean the nozzle before printing
      this line is achieve by additional gcode added by your slicing software
      You can easily modify that!
      Search for "purge line gcode" you'll find instructions on how to do that

    I've got a Kobra 2 max and it's really hard to calibrate. The thing is under extruding on the first layer and over extruding on the top layer. The Standard Profile was over extruding like crazy. Do I don't know if I would say it's beginner friendly. On the other hand it is crazy fast and really really big.

      @@aminorinternet it absolutely was. The problem is that you have to calibrate the "smart z offset" by hand. You can do so for x and y by using the interface but z is calibrated with a screw and eyeballing... You still can set the z offset but it needs to be set after each auto leveling and can be different for different materials and bed temps.

    • @3DJake_Official
      @3DJake_Official  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      This one here is the Kobra 2 Pro, its pretty average size and wouldn't be quite suitable for printing a helmet in one go, the model would have to be split up, printed separately and then glued together. The Kobra 2 Plus would be better for this: www.3djake.com/anycubic-3d-printer-and-accessories/kobra-2-plus
      But a lot of helmets are designed to be multipart models. Often this is easier especially when it comes to painting.
      The Kobra max would be a bit overkill I think in terms of size.
