Been watching your vids and got my first printer (Kobra) arriving today! Perfect timing on finding your video so I can setup before the printer even arrives. Thank you and keep up the great work!
Thank you for this. For those just checking now, I used the Creality Ender-4 because the 3 is no longer an option and it worked perfect. I'd been searching for a week for how to approach this issue and this video perfectly addresses it. Thank you!
Thanks for this, been using these settings for a few months now and ive always had good quality prints. I adjust a few things but the initial print line helps a lot. Thanks Macy
You're definitely one of my new favourites maker. Your ingenuity, self troubleshoot skills, and clear not to technical talk has me seeing you gain many subs in the future. I just recieved my Kobra this afternoon and man, what a breeze from build to print (I also own Voxelab Aquila X2, Ender 2 Pro, Flsun SR). I always worry and wonder why these companies don't get the profile to Cura before release to get it implemented to make it almost a seamless experience. My test owl print came out fantastic and with no fiddling around with bed knobs for 15 minutes I'm just in awe for this price. With the included filament profile files if you open it up with notepad you can dissect the setting they recommend. Turns out I just added a Ender 3 (not Pro) when adding printer, adjust bed size and Bob's your uncle!
Hi Jason, would you share the cura setting for kobra. I just got the printer yesterday. The Cura profile default not work for my machine.
Thanks Jason.
@@Nynguyen-qi9ub Hi Ny. I added the Ender 3 Pro profile, retraction to 6mm and retraction speed speed 40 (I know sounds high). Wall thickness to 1.2mm. And go from there :)
@@jasonwu2758 sound great. Let's me try it. Thank Jason👍
@@Nynguyen-qi9ub No problem! and happy printing makers!
@@jasonwu2758 Cura 5.2.1 now has the Anycubic Kobra in their list of printers.
Thank you so much for this video. Just got a Kobra go as my first printer and this video fixed all the issues I was having. You’re a lifesaver.
Which version of cura are you using?
Excellent tutorial in setting up my first 3d printer purchased a week ago. I am new producing high quality results within a few hours of watching your guide. Thank you
Thank you so much for these videos! I just purchased my first printer and am researching HOW to use it! These videos have been extremely useful. PLease, keep these videos coming!
Agreed. Surprisingly reddit has been relatively useless for me.
The tip for using the Ender3 initial G-code to make the long purge line on the left side is just fantastic. Thanks.
The dang purge in the left-middle was the worst ever.
Exactly thing I need. I got my kobra yesterday and same thing on the bed. My noozle bite the bed 😂. I felt bad all night. You are lifesaver.
I appreciate your sharing👍
I just bought a Kobra and this video was very helpful to me!
Cheers from Italy!
This is my first TH-cam comment. I just goto let you know…. Your killing it. Seriously. Don’t stop. Keep pushing. Doing new groundbreaking things is the way.
This (and the previous video) were good videos. I just got my Kobra this week and been setting it up (printing the owl now). Good intro on how to set up Cura, thank you.
Watched this video and followed your method for getting my Anycubic Kobra on Cura . Worked well and I subscribed to your channel. If I wasn't older than your grandfather I would be at your door with flowers and a 2 Kg spool of your favorite filament.
Hahaha thank you! I’m glad you found it useful!
Just unboxed my Kobra and I used your video to set up my slicer profile!!
I rarely comment on videos.... but this helped me a LOT. To be honest, these settings + raising the nozzle temp to 205c instead of 190c and using the custom PLA profile on the provided micro SD card works wonder. Note that I also have a Z offset of -2mm and adjusted the print speed to 60%. Good job!
Thanks so much for this - had trouble with the default Anycubic Kobra profile (now included in Cura), but followed your instructions and started off with the Vyper profile and has been printing very good ever since that!
Glad it helped!
I ordered, and am receiving tomorrow, a Kobra Go (my first 3d printer!!!!!) & was freaking out about not seeing a profile for it. I appreciate your guidance!
Thank you for this video! I just got this printer and this has been a good help.
OMG!!! thankyou very much for this video!!! i've just bought a anycubic kobra and getting crazy over here trying to figure it out how to adjust the slicer
Ah, yes. Exactly what I needed to know in 6.5 minutes! Subscribed!
Excellent Video! Short and to the point. I thank you!
Literally solved my blob issue in 5 min, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
Just found your channel. Love the information, and your personality. Highly informative, and I appreciate it :)
this video helped a lot getting started with the kobra, never would have known this if you didn't post it. been having a great time with this printer. thank you, last two printers I had just did not work out thought I was cursed lol
I'm certainly cursed then because I cant get my Anycubic kobra to print anything but an owl. I'd known I was paying over $300 for a printer that prints owls I'd never purchased. I'm actually considering returning to AMAZON actually. I've had NOTHING but horrible experiences with 3d Printers. Looks like one needs to have a degree in computer science to no how to use these things. I think I'll sti k to making shit out of wood.
I am having the same issue. Owl is beautiful, everything else fails...no idea what I am so ng wrong
Thanks for making this! My Kobra arrives tomorrow and will try this out.
You're welcome! I hope you love your new printer
Incredibly helpful, Macy - thanks!
What a great video I really like how to explain things out :) Ill defiantly be watching more.
Thank you so much for creating this tutorial. This helped get my Anycubic setup in Ultimaker. 👍
Thank you for this. Recently got myself a Kobra. Instant sub. Can't wait to see what's in store for us next! :D
Awesome video, just getting into 3d printing and started with the kobra. This helps a ton!
Thanks! That's so exciting! Hopefully you love the Kobra, it really is a great first printer.
@@macymakes3d I'm extremely happy with it so far!
Outstanding video and great tips. Hope you continue to make videos.
Most underrated 3d printing channel
I 've been using your Kobra profile and think it is great! I sure hope that you get a new Kobra 2 and create a profile for it as well.
Thank you for the video I'm getting my Kobra Max this Tuesday and Ill be ready now from your vid.
how did you input the Gcode? I cont C and try to cont P and it stays blank
ok well I woulda never figured THAT out. in a million years, thanks! subscribed
I hope you keep making videos on the Kobra! I get mine today! Subbed for future content.
Nice thanks. I just ordered the kobra today. I wastorn between the ender 3 s1 , viper and the kobra and went with the kobra. It is my first 3D printer so any videos you make would be appreciated. Lol
Ok - I have been struggling to get a good print on my Kobra Plus. I am trying out these new settings to see how it goes. If they work you are a life saver.
Man this settings won't work with Kobra Plus. Kobra Plus have bowden, "normal" Kobra have Direct Drive. You should better use profile which suit to Kobra Max. First of all you should calibrate your extruder and flowrate ;).
Very helpful! Thank you so much.
Great Video, for Cura and Kobra👍
Thanks for the video!Your settings are great!Kobra Plus - Before I go any further the machine is easy to built and setup up and do a 1st print via the supplied "owl Gcode" BUT after 4 days of quite frankly messing about I'm now printing with PETG,240 initial 235 print, 80 bed,initial line width & flow - 140.
Very disappointed with the software supplied based on the profiles and the cura setup which didin't work at all for me, brims layed down fine and skirts but then the model print would not lay at all.
The owl GCODE print printed very nicely but the printer doesn't come with any set up for the print on Cura.I normally work with PETG on a Snapmaker original but wanted to buy another printer to do a comparison and make more models at once, snap maker works everytime all the time with no issues.I really think Anycubic should update buyers with a new cura setup and updated profiles which would help new users immensly.Buyers beware , be ready for a few days of a headache!
Update: I have emailed Anycubic(very good btw) and they sent me a profile for PLA which printed great finally, on both PLA and PETG.
I had adhesion issues with the glass plate which I have now swapped for a PEI steel mag base which has now printed 5 models with no adhesion issues at all, recommended. I have never used a glass bed before so I am a major novice but I lost patience with it!!!😁 But at least for very little outlay it is now printing great!💯
Excelente. Podrías compartir los perfiles que te enviaron?
great video as always, what is the height of the printer with the filament mounted? i need to know if it will fit in my printer cabinet.
thanks!!
Have you tested the speed print and any new settings. Please make a video. Thank you
Hello, Macy.
I am curious if you have any setting suggestions for printing TPU for the Anycubic Kobra. Also, do you have any suggestions on nozzle replacement. I contacted Anycubic and they were not very forthcoming on what to order besides their website. Which did not tell me much.
Hey Macy great video. How is your stringing. You didn't cover retraction settings specifically and copied your 6.5mm and 25 speed. Still getting stringing issues. Any tips?
Q: I installed the PLa and Cura profiles included on the SD chip. Is this profile you installed better than the one included on the SD chip? Should I use the one you installed? Thanks
Thank you! you are a genius. worked great!!
Well number one well done on the presentation, and explanation. I just got the Kobra plus and the settings from the factory kinda are crap. I used the recommended settings and my supports sucked they were in a zig zag pattern and really messy. I also have a biqu b1 and it prints really clean with only changing the infill and the print speed is works perfectly. I am sure it is because I need to tweak the setting in cura. Any way thanks for the video you are really good.
I enjoy your work and I was wondering if you can help me with the settings for articulated if possible.
Any chance you could post that Start and End G-Code in the description, just for accessibility? Thanks heaps - great vid
Thank you so working now. Your the best
Thank you very much for this vid - you are a lifesaver
Thank you! Great lesson!
I am setting up my first 3D printer, using a Kobra Plus. I am using Cura version 4.8 because windows 7, and I am not going to buy a new computer just yet, so working with what I do have. Hopefully this helps me set Cura up and I'll be up and printing by the weekend.
is there an open 3 pin on the motherboard so i can add a filament run-out sensor?
900 лайков! Поздравляю. Буду смотреть тебя перед покупкой. Спасибо *:)
Thanks for the tips!
This was a HUGE thanks!
What about retraction distance and speed? Which settings would you recommend?
Thank you so much! I was trying to print a mask and mantis blades from cyberpunk, but I kept getting failure after failure. it's printing right now perfectly fine.
That was Helpful. Thanks
Are you supposed to leave the blue silicone protector on the print head when operating it?
Hello. I see several people in the comments trying to start up the Kobra Plus. Do you have advice or any plans for a video on setting up the Plus?
Hi there, can you do so a video on the Vyper I've had it for a few months and I'm ready to throw it out the door. I've had to replace the hot end and the extruder as they were faulty, and I still cant get the settings correct I'd be interested in seeing what your setting are please.
what version of Cura are you using. I'm noticing quite a few things on your screen that I don't have. like I don't get the viper option so I went custom but I cant seem to import any files. I am new at this but I'm using the Kobra max as well. I fallowed the same adjustments you did but nothing is importing
have you looked into upgrade options for the kobra?
Interesting! exept platform size, can i use the same setting (Start G-CODE) for the KOBRA PLUS? Thanks from Italy
Hello, can I ask a question? I have a kobra go and I have delamination in the ABS, I would like to know if I can turn off the hotend front cooler?
In cure the profile already appears but I would like to know what distance and retraction speed you use please, I don't know which one to leave configured
I've ordered my kobra but have not received it yet and this'll be my first printer but what I don't understand is why stray from the Kobra GCode thing and goto the Ender one instead.
Great videos though, on setup you're the only one that showed how to insert filament and some other points!
When I made this video the kobra had just been released and there wasn’t any kobra G-code to use so I had to create a work around. Hope you like your new printer!
Actually I use a ender 3 program setup all I adjusted was the gantry height the bed is the same size and it has a nice nozzle purge beforehand 👍 so far so good 💯
Thank you for the settings. They worked for me. If I wasn't older than your grandfather I would be at your door with flowers and a Kg of your favorite filament.
What a creep
😂 go on old man. Shoot ya shot! Cheers!
THAT IS SOME OG FLIRT MAN! ❤
So now that you’ve had the Kobra and VYper for a month together does the direct drive on the Kobra make up for the smaller printer bed and single z axis or no? Which of the two would you choose as your first printer or just in general?
I honestly prefer the vyper. I still want to make a video on this, I just haven’t had time. I’ve struggled to get a consistent first layer on the kobra but I have 2 vypers and both had perfect prints out of the box. The kobra does print faster but I print mostly at night and the higher speed makes it too loud so I can’t fully utilize that anyway. My vote is vyper 👍🏼
@@macymakes3d So I ended up getting the Kobra because of a few things, its $220 cheaper than the Vyper in Canada, its a bit smaller and I don't have a lot of space, the speed is nice and I wanted the direct drive for printing TPU without issue. I can add the second z-axis screw later on if needed I figure. As for the first layer, I printed the Owl that comes on the sd card and had a sold first layer, I also printed a benchy, solid first layer as well. I know very little about this but you may want to talk to another youtuber called StudioZombie 3D, he was able to help me with the cura profile and settings, dude seems to have the magic touch.
you should try doing some retraction test prints ive had trouble with the kobra fine tuning
Excellent - Keep it up!!
Will this work well for the anycibic mega pro?
Did u change any auto level afterwards
Hi I have a question about my printer. I have an anycubic kobra neo 2 but when I print the nozzle doesn’t change height therefore it crashes against the plastic structure which is getting printed. What would you guys recommend me to do ? Thank you!
what is the best settings for print supports my settings make the supports difficult to remove or fused with the print.
Do these settings apply for a kobra plus to thanks 😊
Hi Macy. I have the Kobra Plus with Cura 5.1.0 and am not sure what Gcode to use. Would I be able to follow these steps but change the bed size and would it work?
i received a USB from Anycubic with profile instructions but it says "The provided profiles only match Cura 4.2.1". I have the newest version of Cura so I a wondering if those settings would still work. Thanks for your time
hey @yeahdude4931 did you get anywhere so far? I just bought the kobra plus too
Honestly my hero.
Great job👌🏻
Is it necessary to copy over the gcode from the ender 3? Mine wouldn’t copy for some reason
Hello would those settings work on kobra 2 neo?
Did you have any setting for kobra2 plus?
Do you know the settings needed for kobra plus?
Will this work on the Kobra Neo?
Im two days into setting up my Kobra with your settings and I'm having issues. This is my second printer so I have the basics down I believe. First calibration cube I printed went well. My X axis could be smoother. Second print the nozzle just kept driving into the bed. After a restart and fresh bed level and z axis calibration it was printing again. So far the nozzle dripping knocked off two prints very easy. The benchy fails each time about 8% in. I tried printing a bracket but came back into the room to find a spaghetti mess. The owl printed very well though. Do you guys notice clicking sounds from your stepper motors? I was thinking I have too much tension on the belts but it barely went away when loosening them up. Hoping not to have to return this one from all the positive reviews Ive been seeing.
@@1father1 I have messed with my tensioners but that wasn't the culprit. I had two fixes in my case. The first was that my nozzle was dragging over my supports before starting a new layer. I had to add "Lift over supports" in Cura which is surprising why it wasn't programmed to do so in the first place. Second was my z offset. I really had to squish the filament to get it to stick. Im running -0.95 z offset from -0.80(light resistance with a sheet of paper)and my prints improved drastically. They now stick and with the support dragging issue fixed my prints no longer get punted off by the nozzle.
will this work with the new kobra 2 max...
Thank you for your video. I just got my Kobra today and even though I've watched the video more than a couple of times. I'm not able to copy and paste the g-code. What setting am I missing? Anyone, anyone? Thanks again.
Can i get a profile of the settings for abs printing. I would appreciate the help if you can.
Love this video !!! So many details!!! By any chance ,can this work with an Anycubic Kobra Go? Thanks in Advance.
hello, could you share the cobra settings file for PrusaSlicer? Or make a manual for setting up a PrusaSlicer for a cobra. Thanks your video review helped me a lot.
Hello, I am very new to 3d Printing and looking for assistance. I have Kobra Go and I can only get two items to print. The others I have tried, but then it seems to work fine at first, but then the nossel seems to catch what it already has printed and drags that around and creates a mess. Thoughts?
Hi! You could try turning on “z hop when retracted” in cura and you can also try using a thin layer of a glue stick on your print bed to hold the prints down. Just use a wet paper towel to wipe the bed clean afterwards.
how did you get your theme to be dark like that??... I have 5.5 right now
Does it also translate to the Kobra go because they seem to be basically the same
I added the Kobra Vyper, and then tried finding Kobra go, but it wasn't there.
Question, why does it print a line on the side of the bed.?
Hi, I have a doubt. I accidentally deleted the files on my micro SD memory and I am new to my printer. I tried to put STL files but it doesn't read them. Do you know how I could fix that?
