- The New Anycubic Kobra range of 3D Printers has JUST launched and Anycubic reached out to see if I wanted to review their incredible new Kobra Max 3D Printer. Of course I wanted to try this 400x400x450 Vyper eater!
THE PRICE $539.00
The new Anycubic Kobra Series of FDM machines will begin with the debut of two variations - Kobra and Kobra Max. The ANYCUBIC Kobra Max is a fantastic FDM 3D printer that comes with a build volume of 400 x 400 x 450mm and Automatic bed levelling feature. It is compatible with a range of printing materials such as PLA/ABS/PETG/TPU filaments.

Anycubic Kobra Review
anycubic vyper anycubic vyper review anycubic stargate - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
Nice work! I'm glad I stayed til the end and got the bonus content!
Feature Rich this content ;)
The Dazz3D L120 Pro had a resin auto-refill system maybe 5 years ago, and the recent Elegoo Jupiter has it too. It's great to see Anycubic adding it too.
I got my Chiron back in 2018 and I love it. I currently have 3 active printers and they are all Anycubic printers
Great video! Question for you: does the stock firmware have a way to pause the print and change the filament to do multi color/material prints? Thanks!
Is there an all metal hotend I can buy for the Kobra? This would make it the perfect printer for me!
What nozzle type does this use?
I'm new to 3d printing and ordered the Kobra Max (should be here
April 1). What slicer did you use. If I use Cura looks like I could use the same setting as ANYCUBIC
Chiron as for a the size?
Superslicer
I'm using an old anycubic i3 mega and manual leveling has always been a huge pain! These new products look really good for someone like me who just wants to have an easy use auto-leveling system! Also, what's the music at the end? It slaps :D
The music at the end is called Granny Dance ;) I think there is merit in auto levelling an I too have the i3 mega X & S it takes time to tune these things, but yes it does make printing easier.
@@TheRealSamPrentice can’t quite seem to find that song haha
Question, do the wires come ferruled or will I have to do this myself? I have one coming soon and I'm really hoping anycubic isn't just tinning the wires like everyone else.
From memory they are tinned but I upgraded them myself. As far as I’m aware no one has reported any problems with running the ends, however it isn’t best practice and from a feedback point of view anycubic are told by multiple reviewers to undertake this
Hi. I am thinking of buying this. I’ve never done 3d printing and I want a printer that doesn’t require tinkering/modding and faffing. I also have projects that need to be strong and functional. Is this the right printer (I need the volume) and can it print in engineering type filaments and the soft flexible filaments? I need to make clamps and monitor arms and threaded brackets and flexible iPad Pro cases… thanks.
Hey Zoe, most printers will require an amount of finessing and maintaining. The max is a good printer for sure and the price is solid. What filaments are you looking to print as this is good for pla petg and tpu if you were lookng at abs or more engineering elements you might have a challenge. Let me know
I have the vyper Not crazy about the strain gauge set up and non-adjustability for bed leveling hope they would have resolve this with the new one but they didn’t😒
There were 4 versions so which do you have ?
The video audio is well out of sync dude.
I tried to download the Kobra STL link but got an error saying google drive was blocked. I don't understand why since I use google drive a lot. Any ideas on that?
Thanks and thanks for the video.

Yaaa… that intro
Thanks Dude :)
Great review.
I do like the printer, but they have missed a trick with no direct drive and the hotend from the vyper. I wish it had the direct drive titan aero clone and LeviQ of the smaller cobra. I was looking to get this and use some of my stockpiled E3D genuine Titan aero to upgrade it, now I know it has the same hotend arrangement as vyper im not that happy as I had the strain guage fail on me twice, once I was able to fix myself, the other was a month of not printing with it while I waited for a replacement strain guage from Anycubic.
I dont think changing the Kobra max to direct drive will be that easy as its not as simple as swapping out the print head of the tiny Kobra's direct drive as I assume the probe will not work with the glass bed of the max, also not sure how easy swapping to a BLtouch as a replacement to the strain guage would be.
What they need to do is smash both themax & Kobras together with the build volume & mechanics of the max, and the fillament delivery system of the teeny Kobra, then they would have a decent product on their hands rather than 2 compromised machines.
I do have several Anycubic printers incl. Chiron and Vyper. Vyper is real improvement but I am with you when saying they missed really a direct driver. I will also move to Ender 3 S1 Pro and have a look on those. For me Kobra Max is just a Chiron on steroids. I updated mine to a E3D V6 volcano with a 0.8 Ruby Nozzle and just print larger stuff. Also works great.
Thank you , I had a chrion I loved it but it died after 3 yrs , this looks perfect , is it a silent machine ?
Other than the fans yes
@@TheRealSamPrentice thanks man
If I'm using astroprint as my slicer, can this still use Chiron printer profiles?
I’d say not, it should print but it’ll need tuning
What was the Slicer you were using there ? Looks pretty slick .
Super Slicer ;)
what slicer program does kobra max compatible with can't find on Cura
You need to add it yourself, it’s in the video
hi just ordered one yesterday... what slicer are you using?
My preferred slicer is super slicer, but I’m also using Cura 5 to test a webcam with good results
download link of the arm on the thumbnail?
Not a clue it was a stock image of the printer
Do you know when we will be able to officially purchase it?
Click the link for the product info :) it’s country dependent id expect
The Kobra vs Kobra Max naming is terrible, and while I love my Vyper, the leveling sensor is terribly undersupported and shouldn't be found on new machines until they offer easy and fast replacement sensors.
I'm tired of waiting a month+ for a replacement sensor for the 2nd time
I'd agree with the names to be fair, it was a little closed off on the features between machines too. I'm my mind Vyper should have been the smaller one and the Cobra (as the Max) I would have liked to have seen the new hotend on the max too.
You are not alone there are so many of us out there waiting on strain relief gauges. I have only had my Viper since December. It has been down almost the entire time. Any cubic doesn’t seem to be responsive at all we are all having this issue this is a horrible company
People should read the reviews on this company before they purchase anything from them.
@@nmfireman Have 3 vypers running constantly and only had 1 that needed parts, and I got those parts within 2 weeks. Much better service than I've had from others.
cant wait to buy one of these, install marlin day one to disable that startup beep tune
You can just switch it off in the options which I have done
Would this be a good first 3D Printer?
Yes
Anycubic is going to take the crown for "Most Confusing 3D Printer Naming Scheme" from Creality. Help me make sure I've got this right: the Kobra Max has the same bowden hot end as the Vyper, while the Kobra (not max) uses direct drive. The K-Max uses the nozzle tip to level the bed (conductive sensor somewhere?), the Vyper uses a strain gage and the Kobra has an inductive sensor because it came with a spring steel bed plate. Aside from that, the K-Max is essentially a scaled up Vyper (and has a larger Y-axis motor to compensate for the larger bed).
You sir nailed it
so the kobra is a direct drive vyper. the kobra max is a chiron replacement with touch sensor.
That’s correct
@@TheRealSamPrentice still able to tweak the individual probe points like the Chiron?
@@adamklosterman8960 what feature was that??
@@TheRealSamPrentice on the Chiron you could go in and tweak each probe point in the advanced menu after leveling.

Loved the review, but im thinking about buying Anycube Kobra Max OR Creatliy Ender 5 pro?
They are both very different printers, go with your gut :)
No go on silent stepper drivers?
How do you mean?
@@TheRealSamPrentice I have an ender 3 pro. I upgraded the mobo so it has silent stepper drivers, which eliminates the "whining" sound that you hear when the stepper motors are moving.
If this machine has a silent board, i will order one asap
@@SUBtrauma okay so silent drivers?
The audio is out of sync of the video...
Cheers :)
Kinda disappointed. I was expecting direct driver and PEI sheet. It's basically and oversized old vyper.
You say that and I did think the same ! But the bed is excellent and the version of the print head is the v4 revision so it works really well! Retraction is key!
@@TheRealSamPrentice wild idea: Kobra tool head drop-in replacement for the Vyper. Replacing that Vyper leveling sensor is a nightmare
@@dasauto7346 depends on the version of the levelling parts, the pinda options are vast tho and I’d prefer a slice engineering hot end with a bondtech extruder - good idea tho!
@@TheRealSamPrentice I'll take anything that's more... Standard. Not a fan of the V5 hotend when the V6 is already ancient, and the Vyper's probe is decent but I can't get spares easily.
Though a Vyper with something like the SE Mosquito would also be super cool
@@dasauto7346 I’d go copperhead as it’s a bed slinger, the mosquito would be a little bit over kill for this my s5’s run copperheads really well
I don't care for the non-direct drive extruders. There's too much slop in the guide tubing to allow for accurate filament control and that goes for any brand.
I like this comment ! And agree
I don’t know why anybody would purchase from Anycubic Their support is horrible my Viper has been sitting for the better part of three weeks waiting on a strain relief gauge. I have had three count them three warped beds.
Well I think it comes down to the overall experience and managing expatiations right? So if you had a CR6 SE back when they were having issues with the boards catching fire, would you never buy a creality printer again? Consumable producers don't always get it right. The strain gauge issue on v1 and v2 I covered on this very channel, v3 & 4 (including the Kobra have subtile changes to the print head so avoid the "bending issue" If you email me i'll try and see If my contacts can help you out. Happy to try and help :)
@@TheRealSamPrentice If that did happen you’re correct I would not buy another one of those printers. Right now my viper is in pieces in the trashcan for the most part. No matter how hard I tried I could not get help. Right now I’m very happy with my Priusa And my Ender 3S one.
@@nmfireman you’ll be pleased to hear the kobra plus is out soon :)
Please tell me you are still using this printer, I need some help getting my prints to look better.
I still have it, if you hit up the Facebook group there is all the help you’ll need
