Why does it need a purge tower if it poops out the change? Is there a way to do it where instead of just a tower you can print like a little vase or something that you don’t care about the color blending or change color in infill instead of even pooping
Anycubic is junk. They spend their time copying other printers. Making extrusions and putting together a new shape. They all print the same. They spend no time on profiles or their softwares. I left them and never had headaches again. All these Anycubic owners are making excuses why they have one. I was like that once. No more. I trashed all my printers. Just get rid of it and go with BambuLab.
Thank man, this isn't in the instructions as far as I can see and I suspect I would struggle without this video had it been so!!
Thanks for the bit about the ACE to extruder head tube order (at 6:13) - I couldn't find any info on this . . . now I know why - lol!! I don't want to ruin anything and was a bit leery to start printing.
Would switching to a higher quality nozzle help with my clogging issues? On my kobra 3, I get some great prints and then I get a clog. I went for the kobra 3 after a couple of years of great printing with my vyper. I like to tinker so that's not a huge deal. Glad I found you.
I should have bought a Bamboo
Thanks man, terrific video. Keep 'em coming!
Customer support is great, but product it produces is bad. I've never had good quality with Anycubic. After two Kobra 2 Max and a Mono X2 and a Mono X 6K. I"m done with Anycubic quality. I sold them for $200. Now I have an X1C and an A1. 10 times bettter in quality and ease of use. I don't care about the printer no more. I just wait for my prints. It's finally fun again. Anycubic makes quality units and looks good. But no software support at all. They just copy other peoples profiles and hope it works. Software is where Anycubic fails since the beginning and still on going. Advice. Just drop Anycubic.
I got this for a few months and with some tweaks. Its amazing 3d printer!
waited for amazon prime deal day to order the combo thinking i was getting a good deal shouldve seen this video 2 days ago wouldve saved me $65 :(
There was also a 25.00 code you can enter
Part of your bad image problem is the extreme backlighting. Move the light source above the print instead.
Hi, how can you seal the paint? And with what
My only issue with this printer is the hotend clogging. It happens with silk pla and most petg. Is anyone else experiencing this? I'm just wondering If I'm doing something wrong when it comes to settings. My older kobra neo took anything I threw at it and never clogged so It's kind of new tinkering territory for me 😂
Thank you for this video! There is a reason they proved it lower than the A1. It still might be comparable especially at the price cut.
Beautiful filament
Have you check all of the wires I had the same problem with another printer and I turns out the wire was bad. I hope this helps
Any update? A part for the enclosure which printer you suggest between the TX and the Bambu A1 for someone who want just print good and don’t want to work on the printer itself?
There also a coupon for $25 off Make is $354, hell of a deal
Did you seriously voice to text your title and mess it up? Because that is beyond lazy.
Great eye! I did use voice to text because I am multitasking like crazy today! I appreciate the feedback I will fix that
I just set mine up (after having it for a couple of weeks). I actually waited until I heard more about the Anycubic Slicer Next so today was the day. Setup was smooth (although I struggled a little getting the tubes into the ACE unit) and calibration went well. I guess my issue being if this wasn't my sixth printer, I would probably be a little lost. I was able to print initially through the app and the cloud services, but I really wanted to use the Slicer Next since I've been using Orca Slicer for a few months now....and I'm still discovering new ways to use it. Using Slicer Next is better, but I hope they continue to update it to get more features down the road. The other issue is that I almost had to self-teach myelf how to color a model because there really are no clear instructions. Google and RUclips helped a lot, but wish it was a little more intuitive. Now that I have this, I have to convince myself not to purchase a Bambu A1 Combo....we'll see how long I last, lol. So far, so good, 2 prints in....
I love Bambu printers!
I’ve had mine for 3 days and the ACE Pro went KABOOM the FIRST time I tried the dryer… now it’s just a box on the floor.. won’t turn on. Didn’t even get to try a color print.
That's crazy! I haven't heard of that happening to anyone yet! Get in touch with anycubic and they'll take care of you!
Awesome this is so cool to see
Just to agree that Anycubic customer support is pretty good. I have had continuous problems with bigger prints on the Kobra 2 pro, with the nozzle hitting the job ? They sent me a new hot end and then a new stepper motor, neither fixed the problem, eventually they sent me a replacement machine which seems to be spot on . God only knows what was wrong with the last one ?! They were quite easy to chat with and always seemed to get the problems fixed. Would definitely recommend Anycubic for anyone who wants a middle of the road machine with great support experience. Wish they were all as good ?!
They have a great budget friendly machine, sand the best customer support in the business!
@@IdiotCraftMan I have actually pulled the trigger and purchased one ! Their offer at the moment was too good to pass up ?! However my friends call me “Betamax Man”, which probably is a sign that they will stop updating the software in the next couple of months ?! Hopefully not.
@@stephenkelly8065 only time will tell! I think they're putting a lot of time and energy into it, so hopefully they keep improving upon it!
@@stephenkelly8065 I'd say you have until about the kobra 3 pro or the kobra 4 comes out, then you will never see anything update or even support really. I made the mistake of buying the kobra 2 pro just as the kobra 3 was about to come out and suddenly there's no support and no updates. they'll get it to about 98% perfectly working then release the 4 or the pro and give up on it :(
Your issue could be that you have the Ace Pro sitting under the machine, the instructions clearly advise to have it next to the printer , I have run my Kobra and Ace pro for hundreds of hours and have not had a single issue with nozzle clogs. I certainly would not call it a tinkerers machine. Just for context the Kora is one of 16 FDM printers I run at home, while its not quiet up to the standard of the premium machines like the Creality K1 Max , it is only 1/2 the price with a AMS. Maybe its time to ditch the Mac as they are such a tiny part of the computer world so will continue to have issues with software which will just get worse as the drop into total insignificance as they almost are now
That's great that you've had such a positive experience. I also have quite an extensive collection of fdm printers. The location of the ace unit has not had a drastic impact on the operation of the machine. It runs basically the same as when the ace is right next to it. The computer does not cause me any issue, the fact that this particular company does not have one piece of software is not a valid enough reason to go buy a new computer.
nope not working u son of a ......
Then slow it down and hairspray the crap out of it 🤣😂
@@IdiotCraftMan ahhhh
Just ordered one used a coupon got 25$ off so I bought the camera upgrade total cost 370,upgrading from ender 3 s1 should definitely be an upgrade
hello I have recently - An infimech and I'm using Orcaslicer for the first time, it doesn't seem so fast to me, most likely I'm not able to make the right parameters, kindly I ask you if you know where I can find more performing parameters for this infimech thanks
Does it work with Octoprint or Mainsail with Anycubic Kobra 3? I'm thinking about buying one. Been building 3D printer since 2012... it's hard to get a multicolor/filament at good price.
But this or a K1?
Thanks, this was exactly the comparison I was looking for... I think I'll stretch my budget for the P1S 🙂
i have had mine for 10 days and its a well built fantastic printer. This sounded more like a hit piece than anything else.
💥
shipping is now free in the US. Price is currently $309 or $359 with camera, filter and extra fan.
I was just about to say that, glad I seen your post.
Do you have to pay for stflix
Yes
1:29 I always see it go head to head with the Bambu A1 and it just kills me.
0:09 please tell me the Kobra 3, because I heard nothing but good reviews, uppppp until I bought one. Now I’m hearing nothing but trash, so I’m super disappointed. My until is literally still sitting in its box. It may be returned.
Set it up, play with it. Tinker with it. It's a fun machine! If you don't already know, you will learn a lot from this machine!
I like the Kobra 3 I did have a user error but I fixed that and have had pretty good luck so far, ( I hope I didn't jinx it) Good video and yes it's a high maintenance machine but hey it's a 3D printer enough said
True story!
Those spools look beat to shit. Mine work fine with over 400 hours in the bag.
The spools were brand new when they went into the Ace. The machine chews them up like this! Some people have zero issues with the Ace doing this, mine will chew up a cardboard spool in slot 3 every time!
I upgraded from the Ender 3 V3 SE (Even modded, it was an upgrade) to the Kobra 3 Combo when ebay had there 20% off sale!! For the price I got it for, I would say it's very solid considering Creality's latest bedslinger, the V3 w/ belted Z is in the same price range. As far as issues, my only issue is mass printing small multicolor models. At least one tends to pop off the bed. May be user issue, but not sure. The other thing that concerns me is how the filament backup is handled. Instead of using up what's left after the ace tells the machine the spool run out, it purges out the entire tube worth of filament, then switches to the backup.
I agree with you that it is a printer for tinkerers. I have one, and I am not very happy with it. I had to change the bed because it was warped, and the new one is not straight either, but it seems to work better. There is no comparison as far as I am concerned with BambuLab printers. I have an A1 and an X1C (still in its box-just arrived), and the prints are perfect and predictable. Anycubic has a Beta slicer (similar to Orca Slicer) that works pretty well with the Kobra 3 Combo profile loaded.
Your skills are increasing!
Thanks my man!
I also have no solutions regarding layer changes, collision with hotend among VARIOUS other problems with my Kobra 3. Support tries to be attentive, but the more you complain it seems to be treated with indifference, well, that's my feeling, I could be wrong.
IMO, it sounds like it would be better to cough up a few extra bucks for the Bambu Labs A1. Its like $60 more. I'd rather spend the extra 60 and not deal with the problems.
I like my bambu printers, just keep in mind, they do have their own set of problems!
That's true. I got a great deal for 254€ tho. It will arrive in a few days. I'm happy because I've only printed with resin before.
its currently down to $380 for the combo. thats actually a pretty good deal for that price.
Can’t beat it!
I just ordered one on eBay from Anycubic store and I got it for 340. It had a 20% off coupon.
Yep, I paid $379 USD even since mine came from Canada lol. Though I’m regretting it with every unboxing and spec comparison video I watch lol. I do want to get my hands on those Pantone colors badly, Ngl, but in the mean time I’ve got some COEX PLA & PETG I’m gonna try. Those cardboard spools spook me. 😅
@@Berrr_Is_The_Wordregretting the Kobra?
Just ordered one for 285 euro :)
Seeing the first part of your video shows that the ptfe tube is too an extreme an angle to properly feed into the K3. 1:15 shows that the ptfe tube is almost at a 90 degree angle. You need to give the feeding tubes more of a buffer so that the angle of feed is not so extreme when it flushes on the right side of the printer. @IdiotCraftMan
I haven’t had too much of an issue with it not feeding right due to the tubing. Because of how i have it set up i know that it can cause an error, and i don’t really fault the machine for that
I had an Elegoo Neptune 3 Plus for years and dealt with my fair share of issues with it, but I would still recommend it for the price. I get the feeling that your general reception of the Kobra is *lukewarm* at best, but the price is low enough that you tolerate it. How about other machines in that same price range? Aside from the A1, can any other machine (in your experience) do multifilament at this quality/price/speed/whatever?
Not in this speed and price range. You can get an IDEX printer to run two colors, but I've had some issues running IDEX before, and they weren't exactly quick. I know Creality is coming out with their version of a multicolor system shortly, which I BELIEVE will be compatible with the v3 and k2 series.
Use "anycubic slicer next" way more options hybrid between anycubic and orca and can remote print and is made for multicolor, you can set filament types and temps and much, much more
Not available for MAC OS yet unfortunately
I don't know what you use on the bed but I switched to 3dlac from amazon and it's incredible, everything sticks to the bed.
Good to know, I'll check it out, thanks!
I've had the A1 for almost a year and haven't had any issues. I did replace the heat bed cable, even though it didn't need it.
Only issues I’ve had with the a1 mini are my own fault usually. I tend to put filament through it that shouldn’t go through it
I had an update today.
