- Hey everyone! Today's video is all about giving my Anycubic Kobra Max 3D Printer a major boost by upgrading it to a direct drive extruder. If you're scratching your head wondering what that's all about, you're in the perfect spot!
So, what's a direct drive extruder anyway? Think of your 3D printer like a cool gadget that creates amazing things out of thin air. The extruder is a key part of this gadget-it pushes the filament (basically the plastic material we use to print) through a hot nozzle to make your designs come to life. Normally, in printers like mine, the filament has to travel a long journey to reach the nozzle. But with a direct drive extruder, the journey is super short. It's like having your pencil right next to your paper, ready to draw at any moment. This setup is awesome for printing with materials that need extra care and can make your prints look even cooler, without those annoying strings of plastic everywhere.
Why am I upgrading, you ask? Although the Kobra Max is fantastic, I've been itching to try printing with different materials that can be a bit tricky. Upgrading to a direct drive system is the secret weapon for tackling this challenge. It can help make prints more precise and eliminate common printing issues.
In this video, I'm going to show you how to upgrade your printer, step by step. I'll cover what parts you'll need, how to put them on your printer, and some helpful tips I've picked up. We're going to take this journey together, transforming our printer into an even more powerful creator.
I'm pumped to get started and see how this upgrade will take my 3D printing to the next level. So, let’s jump right in and upgrade our Anycubic Kobra Max with a new direct drive extruder. And hey, even though we won't be testing it in this video, I promise to fill you in on all the details and improvements in future videos.

Smooth Printer info over a sick beat. Nice
Thank you! I made the beat too
You gained another subscriber. Greetings from a fellow 3d printing nerd, in Ohio. I really appreciate your plain-spoken, easy to follow nature. This really comes thru in your video. Great job! 👍🏻
Thank you so much. I’m glad you appreciate it ❤️🙏🏾
Awesome ! thankyou for the video
Of course. I’m glad you liked it
thx, I was searching for a tutorial like this for my kobra 3. Btw, did you notice a print quality improvement after this mod?
No problem. I noticed more of a speed difference than actual print quality. The retraction settings went down from 6.5 to around 1.2 so I was able to kick the print speed up a bit more
Nive video and details, many thanks ... i'm just wondering after this modification where and how placing the filament sensor ?👍
Thanks you. I’ll do another video to show where you can place the filament spool and runout sensor. But in the meantime…
Get an 3 pin jst extension amzn.to/43D9Mh6
Disconnect the outside wire. You’ll see which ones connect when you attach the extension to the existing wire coming from the filament runout sensor.
If you don’t already have one, purchase a top attached filament spool and attach it to the top of your printer with t-nuts and screws. amzn.to/3Tus3IK
If you know how to design in CAD programs, you’ll need to design a model the filament runout sensor can attach to at the top. (If not, give me until Monday and I will design one for you. Just email me at info@jedovishop.com so I have your email.)
After that you should be good to go. I’ll do a tutorial for this process next week
Was pumped to do this to find out my print head plate on my Kobra max is different and doesn’t fit any direct drive adapter I’ve found :(
Troy’s adapter didn’t fit?
I found this video very interesting. Would it be possible for you to give a 3d modeling tutorial?
No problem. What did you have in mind?
@@JeDoVi3D Whatever you want! I just want to see your process.
Of course. We want to create a Jedovi stamp. I’ll do a tutorial from the 3D Modeling to the printing
@@JeDoVi3D Ok, thank you.
How do you adjust the filament loading distance to this configuration?
You have to adjust your E-Steps. Check out this video. It has great information for marlin and Klipper th-cam.com/video/ZfBOijl0Kd0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=KGhmygekf6rcBxGg
my kobra max printer already very good without defects, what is the advantage of switching to direct drive?
I’m a true believer in “If it’s not broke, don’t fix it.” But a direct drive allows you to move filament into the nozzles at a faster and more accurate rate. You can print slightly faster, but it also makes it easier to print softer filaments like TPU
@@JeDoVi3D to say that in the old days, we said that the bowden was made for faster speeds lol... what makes the speed today I think is the speed of the new motor and motherboard... but hey...
Your right. Because it takes the extra weight off of the hotend, but the retraction time comes down and is more precise which helps the overall quality not speed of the print. My apologies
@@JeDoVi3D I understand. you are in direct drive now how fast do you print? my next one will be a bambulab but I'm waiting for a bigger tray to come out
I’m only printing at 125 mm/s with a 1800 mm/s acceleration. I am waiting for PCBway to send me a custom part and I am going to add linear rails on the Y and X axis to try and boost the speed a little more. Because of the size of the build plate, any acceleration higher than 2200 causes the printer to skip steps. But the printer is performing a lot better as far as flow and detail
How do you like your heavily modded Kobra Max? I've been looking around for a large format printer for a while and the Neptune 3 Max looked better on paper, but most people with it I've seen hated how unreliable and finicky it was
I love it. I’ve recently made some major changes and will be putting out a video soon. It’s totally revamped now and printing waaayyyy better than before
Is this a kobra 2 max? If not, would it be a different process?
I’m pretty the Kobra max 2 is already a direct drive
I beg you can you please make more kobra max upgrade videos?
Definitely. I commented on your other comment. But we got you!
What size nuts were pressed into the adapter? Length of bolts?
M3 nuts and M3x8 bolts. You can longer if need be
@@JeDoVi3D Awesome thank you!
Did you have to remove the bottom ring from around the hotend/heat sink to install the hero me setup?
