Anycubic Kobra 2 Max 3D Printer, Max 500mm/s High-Speed Printing Large 88L Printing Volume with Auto Leveling Smart Z-Offset Vibration Compensation Enhanced Print Quality & Detail 420x420x500mm

Great printer for just getting started with 3D printing. After setup and you install anycubic slicer on computer. You have to change your speed settings by half or the print won't come out right.

So I bought this as my 3rd printer. So I've some experience with 3d printing. Worked great at first and then the problems began. It vibrated itself into oblivion. There are 2 screws that hold the print head in place, under the cowl housing the fan, print head etc. these screws vibrated loose to the point the filament being pushed into the print assembly shoved the print head down and drove it into the print bed so that it completely stopped working with numerous errors that could not be fixed due to the fact the only way to level the bed of this thing is via auto level. I spent the better part of 10 hrs trying to fix it, with help from some friends as well as checking forums and such. All to no avail. It's a great printer but it will shake itself apart. And now it seems anycubic has banned me from buying anything from them on Amazon. All their products say they cannot be delivered to my address now, when 3 days before I started the return on the kobra 2 max I bought 2 rolls of high speed filament and a bottle of resin from anycubic. I'd love to replace it but I can't. I'd love someone from anycubic to reach out to me.

This is a large printer, you will need to give yourself about a good 36" of counter space. Don't forget to account for the bed travel when you are deciding where to put it. If you are in to cosplay and are printing large pieces, then this is the printer to get. So far I have happy with it.Just something to pay attention to, when you are putting it together, PAY ATTENTION to the screws they call out. It is easy to mix them up if you are not paying attention. Take your time getting everything together and set up. Also if you decide to move, it is awkward, its not real heavy just awkward.It comes with the Anycubic slicer software, it is not bad, I am just not a fan of the style of supports that the system uses. I printed a articulated dragon with full supports, just to see how the program was set up and it took me about 4 hours to get them all off.Also, as this is a high speed printer, you might have to get high speed filament. I printed another articulated dragon with regular filament and so far so good, no issues with it. One more thing. make sure that your bench or table that you are using is stable, being a high speed printer everything will move. You can slow the printer down if needed. Remember, with 3d printers, if you can design it, you can print it. You are only limited by your imagination.

Worst printer ever. Never worked correctly right out of the box. Spent months going round and round with tech support. Once they couldn’t help they refused to replace it and said I couldn’t return to Amazon because I didn’t purchase the extended warranty. Anycubic said purchases made in Amazon do not have manufacturer warranty.

I was very excited to use this larger scale printer. Had some problems with the screen but they reached out to me and fix it.

Muy buena impresora, estoy muy satisfecho

UPDATE 3/30/2025: I think I found a fix! I saw someone online take the rear servo motor apart, and clean, and relubricate the bearings. I also thoroughly cleaned the tracks and relubricated them too. I the ran the test benchie first “Stable” speed, then increased to “Standard”, then the fastest setting (all during one print). It succeeded!!! Now, I can’t say you should do this, especially if you don’t have training dealing with safety and electricity. But it seemed to work. I think it was bad engineering that caused elements to fail. I’m curious if the new Kobra 3 Max fixed these issues. Here’s my previous posts: I’ve had relatively successful prints on this purchase, so I had work order one. Well that one has had nothing but trouble. An offset started to get introduced into the prints (in the direction of the bed movement). I followed all tech support’s suggestions, had parts replaced, finally I gave up and went to return the printer, but by the time I delt with tech support’s back-and-forths , Amazon return window had closed. After many emails to Anycubic explaining what had happened, they finally were willing to take the unit back as a return … but we had lost so much money wasting time on this, the added nuisance of having to disassembl and box the unit, we decided to just write it off as a loss:/ Recently we were in need of a large scale printer at work, so since I had success with mine, we thought the last one we ordered was just a rare lemon, a fluke, and decided to take a chance and order another one. Oh what a mistake (and an embarrassment for me)! Not only did the offset happen again, but at sport speed the printer lost tracking and created the dreaded spaghetti pile of filament, which then got caught in the exposed belts, causing it to jam resulting in both belts breaking! I disagree with the old saying, “two out of three ain’t bad”, on the contrary, two out of three “bad” is worse. I rarely leave bad reviews, but this has been oh so frustrating. These machines aren’t lite, moving them around to trouble shoot is extremely difficult, there’s just no easy way to turn them on their sides to work underneath. Disassembling, reboxing are all backbreakers. I just reboxed the third printer for return, this time within weeks of purchase. I love Anycubic’s resin printers, and have used them on many film projects. I wish I could say the same about this printer.

I've been 3-D printing for 5 years, and I do it daily, so I'm not new to this. That being said... this 3D printer had such high reviews elsewhere. With the size and brand name, I figured this was a sure purchase. After about 2 weeks of printing, constant y-axis shifting has made me waste at least $200 in filament, trying to repair and recalibrate. I've reached out to the Anycubic team, and they respond well, even sent me a replacement y-axis stepper motor... Problem persists even now.
