This vs n4pro?
This Kobra 2 Pro is way better.
@AuroraTech How? The elegoo machine seems to be the same but has a 300 degree nozzle vs 260-270. Edit: Maybe speed?
Kobra 2 is way better in print quality, speed, auto z-offset, and overall build quality. While it doesn't have a 300°C nozzle like the Neptune 4, its suitability depends on how often you will use it to print PC or PA-CF. I would rather get the better quality machine (the Kobra 2 Pro) if I just print PLA PETG TPU ABS ASA Nylon 99% of the time.
@AuroraTech Thanks for the response. I'm surprised it could that much better. The feature I like on this K2P is the auto z height. That setting getting dialed in what prevents me from using my V2 neo over my other printers.
@@AuroraTech What about reliability? Many owners of regular kobra 2 have commented that the extruder and auto bed leveling sensor were unreliable. Did they improve something in the pro version?
You have by far the best reviews on 3D printers. Actually you have the best reviews period!
Agreed.
agree
😄
& thorough
Along with Project Farm and Torque Test Channel.
She really does, the other guys are too busy trying to be cool or funny with either gun printing or helmet printing.
I always end up back at this channel.
Really love your thorough reviews.
Very impressed with this review, really fast but still great print quality!
That's crazy for the price. Great review as always!
As always detailed reviews and love the bloopers part too.
Always appreciate your content! Best reviewer on the Tube, and it's not even close. Keep up the great work!
Yep you nailed it again professional and fun to watch with loads of information. Thank you for the great service and effort you put into this 👍
All the positive comments ring true for me too. You are very good at reviews.
Didn't expect to find the NileRed of 3D printing while looking for a printer to supersede my aging i3 Mega.
Extremely well documented, clear narration, examples of common hurdles, and extensive comparisons. Thanks for helping me pick my next printer!
Thanks so much for all your great reviews. You are the best reviewer on youtube. your not just printing a benchy. Very in depth with specs and printing different filaments. i purchased this printer.
I love your reviews, especially how you go in depth on the different materials and the consistence across reviews of different printers. I would really love to see a review of the Neptune 4 pro and maybe some comparison, as these two printer seem to have a lot in common, at least from the spec sheets.
I've purchased this printer because of your great quality review! Thank you!
Been watching your reviews but never subscibed until now. You got yourself another subscriber. Thank you for your work
The best and most helpful reviews on TH-cam.
Thank you for your good reviews miss Aurora. Very professional indeed imo, honest and true reviews are rare today. you remind me of project farm reviews. I would like to see charts of comparisons in the future.
Good stuff this.
Bonjour de France,
J'ai regardé votre vidéo avec sous titres et traduction en français. (Plusieurs fois pour bien comprendre car vous parlez très vite 😮). Vous m'avez convaincue et je l'ai commandée. C'est la première fois que je visionne un test aussi complet et, enfin, comparatif. Bravo.
Prenez soins de vous. Cordialement.
Very well done. Loved the review, your videos are really enjoyable to watch and very informative. EXCELLENT WORK!!!!
The best review of this printer so far. You went into the right details most users care about. Loved the compairisons of all the other high speed printers.
You got a new follower out of me.
A side note maybe worth looking into on your next review.... another reviewer printed at 0.04 height with amazing results. Something to think about or maybe its not worth your time. Thanks for the honest reviews and looking forward to more
You are my go to reviewer for all all things 3D printer, Laser engravers and table top CNC mills. Thanks for your time.
Very well done review as always. Thank you for all the details and pros/cons section. Just pulled the trigger on this one as I wanted a fast bed slinger and the price this holidays was to good to pass up! FYI to anyone else is make sure you check for discount codes before you commit to the purchase. Saved another 20.00. Also a free roll of high speed PLA thrown in! Thank you Aurora!!!
Thank you very much for your review. I ordered and began to doubt the choice because there are no reviews for it
These bloopers are priceless! 😊And thanks for helping me choose my first 3D printer!
Unfortunately I had issues with buying from Anycubic's shop. Even though I was paying with PayPal my home bank detected suspicious transactions. Some things were so wrong between bank, PayPal and Anycubic's shop that my card was blocked automatically by my bank. Anycubic's support wasnt quite interested to investigate this and I ordered a new credit card. I am considering buying Two Trees SK1 instead.
Love your great reviews. Definitely the best in the business. I'm particularly grateful to see all the different filaments tested, particularly TPU which I use often.
I was surprised to see TPU print so well through the reverse Bowden tube from the spool to the left of the machine. I always hang TPU spools above and feed the filament directly into the extruder.
It's frustrating to see all of these 3D printer manufacturers making the same mistakes that mar these otherwise excellent printers - no WiFi, a Volcano style nozzle that isn't compatible with the readily available Volcano nozzles to force us to buy a proprietary part, and trying to force us to use their cloud service (I'll NEVER do that) rather than using the excellent LAN features of Klipper.
I was preparing to order the Elegoo Neptune 4 Pro when I saw this review of the Anycubic Kobra 2 Pro. If this printer allowed me to use Klipper over WiFi, I'd have bought it instead of the Neptune 4 Pro.
Another perfect review! Would you recommend this over the regular Kobra 2? Currently both on sale around $100 price difference in Australia
Subbed because this review was Awesome. Thank you!
Thank you for this relevant and insightful test!
Sooo much cool stuff coming out this holiday season… I am extremely interested to see if you can get the Kobra Max 2 pro review done before the presale ends. The size and speed updates really speak to my heart at sub$500. ❤ Thank you for your hard work.
great review as always! Thank you :)
That is a great review. I would love to see you review fast printers like the Kobra 2 pro at reduced speeds as well, to see if the quality of a Prusa MK4 can be matched. 3h10m is crazy fast for the Alpaca, so how would it look if you gave it another hour or even two? Occasionally quality comes before speed :)
OH MY GOD THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE CONFIG file. i was pulling my hair out after updatting the new firmware
now it is looking so good. it works so well.
The quality of your reviews is gone "next level". You give us a lot of very useful information and best of all, you give us many material prints as well as comparison prints. Stoked.
I could imagine that you could change the start-up G-code to wipe the nozzle. I like that function a lot.
Thank you Aurora and Helios, great work. Keep it up...
No, we don't have access to the printer.cfg or SSH, so there's no way to move the print head to the wiping block, which is located outside the maximum Y position.
thank you for clearing this up. So, as you mentioned, it would be a matter for the manufacturer to make this feature possible.@@AuroraTech
Having owned the OG Kobra this is some great upgrades. Though like you mentioned in the cons it's soo close to being the budget bedslinger to beat held back from a couple of odd/bad decisions. Just let us use standard volcano nozzles with a regular wi-fi integration. So, so close... Maybe the Kobra 3 🙃
Looking forward to your review of the Cobra 2 max! That sounds like it could be my next printer, pending your review reaults of course👍
Thanks for Your review , I have already ordered one.
Aurora, as usual a great review. Doubtful if I’ll be getting a new printer for quite a while. But I would consider this one if they get rid of the cloud. Why do so many companies want to force us to use their cloud? Now the important part: Winter’s coming on. Time for you to get that garage heater or a really good parka.
Love the bloopers!!!! 😁
Thank you for your review of the printer, which are really great, especially also consistent to the comparison to other printers you have already tested.
Is there a comparison to the Elegoo neptune 4/4pro printer, especially the print quality, since it is in the same price range?
Love your channel. Keep it up.
Gutes Review wie von Dir gewohnt. Mach weiter so. P. S. : ich habe herzlich gelacht über Deine Patzer. Macht Dich aber sehr sympathisch. Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland
thank you so much! i am looking to get one now!
Very nice 3D printer with low price.
Thanks for the show.
I'm curious about the fidget cube. You mentioned, this time, you needed some bending to move smoothly. I assume you mean that on some machines it works perfect right of the bed?
( I have tried this model a lot of times and it's getting better and better but I am yet to get the "hinge" that you see in the middle at minute 10:07 to work smoothly. )
I'd be interested to know how you'd compare the Kobra 2 Pro to the Neptune 4 Pro which you also liked a lot as I recall.
Very good review nothing to hide compare with some reviewers which ended up we buying nonsense machines
heck yea was hopeing you would review this gonna try and get a printer when i can afford one and was looking at this or neptune 4
Good summary of pros and cons.
I'm really curious to see the longevity of the metal rollers vs rods and rails.
Great review as always!!Let me say that that is an award winning extruder-hotend combo, by looking at the close-ups of the nozzle laying plastic at those speeds, you can tell this thing is well tuned to take advantage of klipper speeds without being limited by a poor volumetric flow. I wonder how much volumetric flow this machine can handle in vase mode so...Aurora: would you please consider to add just one more quick test for your upcoming reviews? A print that gradually starts to increase volumetric flow until starts to underextrude. Orca slicer has a volumetric flow test that does something like that. CHeers!
Theoretically 500x0.2x0.4 = 40 mm³/s ... I think the Volcano Hotend can do around 30 mm³/s (at least what I could realize)... But I thinks the limiting factor will be your Filament. Generic PLA probably cannot be process this fast in acceptable quality. Unterextrusion will occur. There is High Speed Filament available already. And as you can see in the review: TPU is still limited to 80 mm/s... Maybe there will be some high speed TPU as well one day :)
What is the maximum speed it can achieve for ASA & ABS materials? I luv ur review... Keep it up 😍❤️
Hello Aurora , i bought one for this review.
By the way the App is working with almost all the necessary functions now but still not the camera .
best review ever.
Tnx 4 this very comprehensive test!
You can actually swap a all metal heatbreak intended for the anycubic vyper toolhead into the cobra 2. First gives you a raised temperature limit and you can now use regular volcano nozzles
Interesting. Did you try? I am curious, because I want to use bigger nozzles (0.8mm), and those are not available in this shape yet. I have modified my old i3 Mega S with an E3D Volcano Hotend and I love it. Espacially quality-wise it was a big improvement. The original Anycubic nozzles were no good.
Hello. Very good video, very complete on a technical level. The printer makes you want ^^
Thank you for sharing.
Another great review, but watching the honeycomb test print made me curious if you or any other viewers know why 3D printers (which are just computers following a path) print in that odd (at least to my mind) way of seemingly randomly picking what spot to start printing next. I assumed that they would just follow a path they were already moving down until they finished that path then move to the next line and so on and so forth. But they often seem to do a random spot here, then shoot over and do another random spot elsewhere, then randomly join them together. How do they determine what path to layout? Is it an efficiency thing? A cooling thing? Am I just missing the very obvious logic behind it?
Great review
review Kobra 2 Max . Thank q
I bought the Kobra 2 on your recommendation. I’m supremely happy with a fast Marlin machine. If they provide you with a discount I will buy this machine as well. Anycubic is really an impressive company for supporting you. I hope they will adopt your excellent suggestions.
After upgrading the Kobra 2 to the latest firmware version 3.0.6, it should work even better with the input shaper enabled Marlin firmware.
@@AuroraTech thank you for that information. I’ll check into updating the firmware tomorrow morning. The Voxel filament I bought on your recommendation is also working great! Excellent review. Your recent studio upgrades are making your videos look fantastic!
Could you please do a video on the pro vs the standard?@@AuroraTech
@@AuroraTech I assumed Pro version with Klipper would mean "old" Kobra 2 wouldn't get IS - but it's nice to be wrong :)
I had much more issues with the new firmware on my kobra 2 I've only lately managed to get it sorted and dialled in to a useable condition, however sometimes it still fails and has glitches
The only profound review of the Kobra 2 so far! Great job! Thanks for clarifying the non-existing options with regard to klipper and the non-original volcano nozzle. I still hope that ANYCUBIC will release some firmeware updates that enable the full potential of Klipper and I would be very fond of different nozzle sizes. With this speed you actually don't need bigger nozzles, but some filaments and some objects look really cool when printed with 0.8 or 1.0 mm nozzles (e.g. transparent PETG). For me it looks like Anycubic was unter pressure with the release of this printer series. Probably to keep up with Crealty and Neptune launches. However, the full functionality has not been developed yet... So lets hope that they will bring some really cool features in the near future. Have ordered a Kobra 2 Plus. Fingers crossed.
I saw your model with the top filament holder on printables. Thx for this.
So is it not possible to use the filament sensor with that holder?
Great review
Great video as always.
I wonder if a TPU retraction test would be a good thing to add your test.
Thanks to sharing your experience with All of us 👍 😀 experience
Would love to see a review on the kobra 2 max
Thanks, all I want is unbiased info. I bought a kobra max on the info you gave me.
what airtight filament box do you use?
An interesting 3D printer.
Your report is great!
Will you be doing a review on the kobra 2 plus? If so I can't wait 😁
I'm not 100% sure but i read that if you buy the hot end from a viper it will fit in the kobra 2 series and allow you to use normal nozzles
Excellent detailed review, thanks.
Couldn't you just change the heat break for one that will work with volcano nozzles? That would also allow hotter temp printing if you bought the right one and a different thermistor. I believe it is much easier to change the max temp in klipper.
Thank you for the Review. It helped me decide what to purchase. One questions if I may. With the Anycubic Kobra 2 you leased some Prusa profiles for PETG, TPU etc. Could you do the same for this printer please?
How do you get it to wipe on the front of the table before printing? Mine just dumps it over the front edge...
Also! Great video detail, and I appreciate the tips and tricks. This review was one of the best that I've been able to find in terms of print detail for this printer in particular. Keep it up!
Great review as always. You're right about cloud services...they are bad news 100% of the time, as they make your home network far less secure and hand over any IP you have to whomever is running the cloud. The convenience of just hitting a button on your computer is strong, but I'd rather walk the SD card or USB drive over to the printer myself anyway.
One thing: was it just me or did the corners of that nylon card wallet look kinda bad, even after printing out of the filament dryer? Just seemed like it was overextruding to me, the way material was curling up above the level of the nozzle.
Actually, a second thing: I'm getting more and more upset by printer manufacturers releasing their own proprietary nozzles. I get that they want to drive consumables sales after the initial purchase, but all this does is make it less convenient for users to install and even find replacement parts. While the printer seems fine enough on its own, I sincerely hope that buyers of the printer will soon have ready access to aftermarket modifications to allow for the use of standard Volcano nozzles.
USBs are nice upgrade, but as a kobra 2 owner I don't use speed above 150 and if I want it as best as possible I go to 80mm. Maybe with input shaping 300mm could be realistic. Screen does look a lot better too. Hate that I cant get different nozzles or hardened nozzles but I think for basically the same price as the kobra 2 this competes with the neptune 4. a slightly larger bed model would have been a nice feature as well but again for the price they are reusing the same platform.
Hey thanks for that great video!! I have a question: How can I connect my octoprint with the pro? octoprint allways says "no serial connection" Is there a way?? Thanks Greeets Stef
This is amazing, good quality with a reasonable price, could you please kindly advise if the dryer is a must?
Such a great review
I bought a Kobra 2 Pro this morning. Looks like a great printer.
I already have a Vyper, Kobra, Kobra go, kobra neo, kobra max and a Kobra 2 from the anycubic range.
Been really happy with all of my Anycubic printer so far except the Kobra Go isn’t going well.
I have a SV07 but the Kobra 2 seems to be running better that it.
My best printer so far is the P1S.
I’m sure the Kobra 2 pro will be better than the SV07.
My favourite cheapest printer at the moment is the Kingroon KP3S. I have 2 and they print amazing quality prints every time.
I do have a Tronxy x5sa still in the box for when my son turns 16 next week. He wants to turn it into a vzbot.
I would buy a new kp2 pro but bamnulab new printer appear.
Hmm kobra 2 pro vs a1 mini. I know 18cm vs22cm but if bamnulab a1 mini speed and quaility print, ı can by bambu.
Because a1 mini same price anycubic.
But ı have a Anycubic kobra ,plus ,max 4maxpro2 and ı like it. I havent problem. But bambu a1 is new in my view have some problem
Maybe you can provide an update?😅
I've had an Ender 3 S1 Plus for just over two weeks now. 1 successful print. Throwing it in the garage. I'll sell it to you... Just ordered a Kobra 2 Plus. Hope it performs as well.
This Kobra 2 Pro and 2 Neo is perfect for farm, best P/P in market
Great video! You helped me choose a new printer. Where can I find a printer profile (Sunlu PLA+) online?
Review the Anycubic Kobra 2 Plus and compare with this, please.
Thanks for your videos.
Tempting. But the cloud service is a problem. Can you use a raspberry pi to control the printer over the network instead?
I picked up one of these the other day, it seems to work quite nicely, with a couple caveats...
One, the auto-level is not perfect. It consistently sets the Z-axis about .2 mm too low, resulting in the nozzle dragging the bed. This seems to be an issue with a lot of printers. Also, the bed seems slightly off, one side is high. I may use some tape to correct that. The other thing I don't like is the placement of the spool holder, it places undue strain on the filament where it enters the filament detector, the angle is wrong. I'm currently feedng it from a dryer reel, but I'll likely engineer a new spool holder that is positioned better. I don't like the filament having to make a sharp bend like that, it's already broken twice. Also, there's no light, so I used a clamp-on one. Speed is excellent on this machine. Pretty noisy, though.
For the issue with the printer not wiping on the silicone block, on my prusa i qdded custom gcode that set nozzle temp to 150 during bed levelling to wvoid any filament oozing. It then rests nozzle gently on bottom left as it heats to primt temp.
This stops any oozing and filament being stuck to nozzle and dropping onto print.
share your g code?
Would be interested to see if the quality improves when using the printer at a lower speed. Basically, if it were slowed down so that benchmark alpaca took 4 hours like the P1P, would quality be comparable to the P1P?
same thought 🧐
Back to the infinite cube, what if you dropped the nozzle temp to 195C? I noticed a good bit of stringing during that and the benchies. With my Sovol farm, I've found that 5C below the recommended temps. Also, could you add a G12 and associated Macros and values to your start gcode section to get the wipe before each print?
Have you tried the SV07/+?
@@saramae9878 I have one of those and love it.
Will Anycubic be sending you one of the new Kobra 2 Neos to review? I'm interested to see what you think.
Love your reviews, very in depth.
I am looking to upgrade my Creality Ender 3 Pro, I was thinking of the Prusa MK4, but seeing this review it has got me thinking.
Which one you choose the Prusa or the Anycubic Kobra 2 Pro?
Kobra 2 Pro. This is the fastest bed slinger that prints well, the only reason I didn't put it on my recommendation list is their cloud is not ready yet, I have to test it first before it put it on the list.
Does the Kobra 2 pro respond to M600? I would like to do filament color changes
Hi Aurora. Do you know if All Kobra 2 Series runs Klipper? I am in the marker for a Kobra 2 Plus and cannot find information anywhere. TYIA and keep up the fantastic reviews
17:16 the orcaslicer flow test is ideal for finding the limits here
A bit late to this video but, if you are still reading the comments - the Kobra 2 Pro or the Sovol sv07? The Sovol is a bit cheaper, and has open Klipper, but this appears to be better built so I'm a bit torn as to which to go for.
I would have liked to see more PETG prints :)
Great review, as always! Any chance you’ve got an Elegoo Neptune 4 Pro review in the works? Just curious - I’m trying to decide between it and this Kobra 2 Pro. Thanks!
i am also interested and not sure which one takes, can you help :)
Kobra 2 Pro works way better.
Your product reviews are among the best on the web. I wish to request a comparison between SV07 - Kobra 2 Pro and Elegoo Neptune 4 Pro. Is that possible? Best regards from Germany.
Kobra 2 Pro is way better than the other 2.
Thank you for amazing and cute videos with a lot of informations. I am beginer in 3D printing and i need something under 400 $ with good quality and printing speed and autobed lvl. What would you recommend?
I dont understand how a bedslinger can be quicker with similar quality as a bambu or k1. I recently got a k1 to upgrade from my e3v2, creality is opening up source code this month so no doubt the k1 will come up levels. Klipper must be tuned exceptionally well out the box for this thing, impressive.
I expected this to be way noisier and less smooth with these steel wheels. It turned out to work very well, which brings the question why don't more manufacturers use them instead of these pom wheels? Won't these steel ones wear out the rails they're moving on over time?
Love those jazz music
you're the best , waiting for the MAX version 😋
