- Here is my Anycubic Kobra Max Review.
For your information and complete openness, I was sent this printer free of charge, though I was not asked to review or promote it. I was sent it as a thank you for helping Vyper owners with printing problems and to let me familiarise myself with it to help future Kobra owners with the same.
I am not a professional content creator as you can clearly see, I am just a 3d printing enthusiast that likes to help others enjoy this amazing hobby, I stand to make nothing from this video other than sharing my opinion of this printer with you all.
I apologise for anything I have missed, it is not scripted or rehearsed, I turned on the camera and said what I think, any information you would like that I did not give just ask in a comment and I provide it if I am able.

Just ordered myself one just because of your amazing work as always not only on TH-cam but on Facebook as well. Thanks again Louise!
Excellent review Louise, thank you!
TH-cam needs more honest and realistic reviews such as this. Good job Louise👌🏼
Can’t wait to watch this later!
What filament did you use on the cat? So beautiful! Great review!
No worries about the setup. You are obviously very knowledgeable and it's great you take the effort and time to share you expertise and thoughts 🙂 I hope you will be able to make another video about Octoprint and the Raspberry spmetime in the future. Thanks and regards.
What info are you needing Octopi wise?
@@Just3DPrinting You mentioned before the integration with Cura. If possible some information on how to setup the Bed Level Visualizer plugin. I guess general tips and trics based on your own experience. Thanks and regards.
@@marcelvdberg I removed bed visualiser, its kind of pointless with the vyper (and Kobra Max) with them having fixed beds, and it has a bug that can affect custom controls among others..
@@Just3DPrinting Thank you, that sounds actually very logical..
Very good review, thank you.
Thanks for watching! Hope it was of at least some use :D
I hope this video goes viral, it is the best Video I have seen on the King Kobra! Ok, it’s the only video I seen on the Max, LOL.
I will buy it just because of this video. I might buy two of them.
This video is like the naked version! It shows it all.
Very well done! Keep it up! 👍😎🤣
Naked.. in the bedroom.. I think that would be a step too far even for me :D :D
Thanks for the video. I'll setup the viper profile and see what happens
Thanks for sharing your experience. Put a all metal hot-end on that baby. What temps does the hot-end and bed get up to?
I Have not checked, but its a PTFE hotend so the usual 260 ish I am sure will apply without modding the FW.
Theres not really a benefit to all metal until you exceed those temps, many people have much more problems with low temp filaments and all metal than PTFE lined, especially with the cheap china heat breaks.. It would apear genuine Slice Engineering Coperheads are the best by all accounts..
Thank you for sharing this. It’s an absolute monster. I’m going to order 2 and sell my creality printers. Looks like it will be the right move
In all honesty, my ender 3 max may as well go because theres little chance its ever going to really get used now.
Its quite a shame really, I put an awful lot of time and money into making it a good printer and I was completely happy with it, but the simple truth is this thing blows it out of the water. Its bigger, and better right out of the box.
Not much else you can say really.
Great work Louise!
Thank you!! 😊 I thnk "Great" is probably stretching reality a bit, but it is a GREAT printer :)
Dose it use the same dev firmware branch as the vyper? Those support arms sure look like the old predator arms 🤣. Thanks for the review. I’m going to need a bigger desk.
I have not got access to source code as yet do cannot say..
I think the supports are pretty generic
Ordered mine yesterday. Can't wait. One question. Where did you get the big cat file? It's magnificent.
Quite pricey, but WOW are they good..

what were you accels set to for your vyper profile? only asking because im getting a kobra max and ive got a chiron and i use 2200 accel at 75mms+
print 2k5 and travel 3k if mem serves correct
I just got a kobra max. Do you select the profile in cura for the viper? If so what is the best settings
the printer profile or the settings profile...
The answer to both is yes, use the vyper.. For the printer select vyper and change the build volume to 400 x 400 x450mm
For the print settings, I use my vyper profile available on my facebook group, the only change I made was I increased the retractions speed a bit to 40mm/s I think it was..

They probably split the bed up to avoid warping of that big bed. I think you might be able to add a flex bed or a Glas bed on it to get rid of those marks.
Noooooo... its one solid glass bed, they have simply screen printed a stupid grid onto it.
Where the printed lines are it shows on the bottom of the print, had there been ANY use for this grid at all there would maybe be some justification for completely ruining the absolutely perfect glass like bottom (or top if you were printing a box lid upside down) but the grid serves no useful purpose at all.
Positioning the print is done in the slicer, so the grid on the bed does nothing in that regard, all it does is leave ugly lines in the print!
Of course if you want a perfect base layer for a box lid for example you can flip the bed over and print on the reverse, but that will require gluestick or other adhesion aid, had they not printed that crap all over it then there would not be a problem to get around in the first place.
Hi, nice video, where did you get the cobra file? Thank you
It was on the SD card, the upright one..
The articulated one was from the anycubic facebook page as part of the promotion posts they did
I have a stupid question... I saw a video where the print stuck to the bed so hard it ripped off some of the actual bed when it eventually got removed!.. I have a Kobra Max coming in the next few days (can't wait :) ; and have seen the PEI plates 400x400 on Ali-Express... they say you can buy one with a magnetic base plate...so I am guessing you would have to glue that to the glass plate?... so the plate could grip to it and remove easily... or would literal clips just do the job?, without gluing anything to the glass plate.Ohh... almost forgot... LOVE THE CAT!!.. :) a few drops of clear resin in the eyes would really make it pop. That print alone just made my day. I saw below that you gave a link for it. It; for me at least is a must have, cheers!.
The heated bed is bigger than 400 x 400 is first point, its actually 410w x430d
I have had zero issues with print releasing, you can add a little gluestick to create a release barrier, matbe even as simple as rubbing glass with hands would fix it if it does stick too hard
As for pei magbase..
You could stick to glass, but it will reduce the heat that reaches the print surface, a better option us to remove the glass and stick magbase direct to the alumin heatplate..
Pei is not easy to get i. 410 x 430, but you can find it with some hunting as a few people have posted about them
@@Just3DPrinting 410x430!!... wow really!!, that is awesome!. I think I might just use it with painters tape until I finally brave trying direct contact with the glass then. I just realized that the glass bed is a standard spare part anyway... sometimes I look at the worst possible scenario and focus only on that. It arrives today :) Can't wait to build something!. Thank you for getting back to me. Liked and subbed.
@@Phodis i have had no issues at all with orunts releasing, pla at least, not done petg on the glass but that is a known issue with glass..
I just let it cool,and they part easily.
My fiancé is about to be really upset when this shows up right before we move into our new place lol. But in all honesty keep it up you are doing great 👍
Easier to beg forgiveness than get permission :D
Are you still impressed by it? I am looking for a big 3d printer. Is this still good?
And before I finish your review they are sold out. Thanks for the video.
I dont think they go on sale until tomorrow, I could be wrong...
I think what has happened is the smaller Kobra has been put on for ordering by mistake, and max has not had the Available 28th March graphic added..
I am sure the plan was the launch today and ordering was to be from the 28th, so check again tomorrow after 07:00 GMT
@@Just3DPrinting The small Kobra was available a few hours ago. No sign of the Max. (no sign of the M3 plus either)
@@petercallison5765 i just got a message from someone else just ordered max, what country are you in?
15 left on U.S. Amazon
And.... gone!
Looks like it should be called a Vyper Max and not a Kobra Max
with a different frame, different bed, different size, different mainboard, different screen , different power supply , different belt tensioners, and a different z drive configuration..
What else would they need to change in order to call it by a new name?
No more innovation with these FDM machines - endless CR-10/Ender 3 copies. This is basically a tarted up Chiron.
No its not, its the same frame style ie a bed slinger, that does not make it a copy of another bed slinger..
Its a different frame, stronger, better, its a different mainboard with UART, its a diffferent screen, a different hotend, different levelling, different carriage, different cooling..
Saying its a tarted up Chiron is like saying a Voron is a tarted up Tronxi X5.
First time I have ever seen a 3D Printer review on a real bed. Seems like there is a lot walking around with pointing and talking. Didn’t show how it was built, or showing it printing? You complained about the noise of the PSU fans, yet you couldn’t even plug it in for your viewers to hear it? Think there wasn’t much effort put into this review, sorry
I am not a pro youtube channel., i created the channel just to help users with a few videos and shared my thoughts on this printer.
However, its honest, unlike nearly every other 'pro' review , such as those for the kobra direct drive (Which i know for an absolute fact thar LOTS of pro reviewers had LOTS of serious issues with and made no disclosures of) becauss i have no expectation of, or wish for the entire range of new resin printers, both fdm printers, free resin and filament which was sent to reviewers that lied and said the printer worked great out of the box.
So while you might enjoy 'pro' reviews, what you are getting is not a review it is a bought and paid for advertisement...
You did a good job - don’t listen to these haters. You just started TH-cam takes time to get into flow. Keep making videos man I’ll keep watching as you grow 🙌🏽.
