Thanks for the video, sad to hear that there is currently no power loss recovery... but still happy with it.

My pre order is arriving Monday. My only other printer is an old Anycubic delta printer. Delta is certainly fun to watch, but I need a bigger volume than the smallish conical build area of the delta I have for car parts.

On this much big of a printer, you WANT the power recovery feature to work. There would be so much wasted filament. Thank you for your review.

I just got and starting playing with my new Kobra 2 Pro. This video is spot on. Wish I had seen it before I ordered. My first large print got interrupted for some reason while I was away at a meeting and quickly found that unlike my Vyper there was no recovery. Probably just as well since I also had the same supports and they were impossible to remove. Later prints using regular PLA and normal slow speeds and organic supports have turned out great so far.

@Brett5106 7 ай бұрын

I have 2 of these machines. They are running good. You're running cables wrong. You need to run the large cable under the filament runout sensor. Then you cable tie it.

I brought two Kobra 2 Max printers with an extruder nozzle fan problem. The second one also has a leveling sensor probe issue, smashing the bed. No one seems to have an answer to a fix. Sofar Anycubic appears to be researching these issues. They have a New Year's celebration most of the year and are very slow in responding to my after-sale request.

I want this printer. But I'm undecided, even the elegoo neptune 4 max is identical. However, some people say that the quality of anycubic is superior (like a resin). My goal is to cosplay. Do you have some advice? The important differences I see between the two printers are: the elegoo has more powerful fans and uses the klipper interface, resumes printing after a power failure and the nozzle reaches 300 degrees. Seen like this it seems that the Elegoo is superior but as I have already said some reviews say that the Anycubic is better in terms of quality. Personally I hope that anycubic can use klipper as an interface (like fluid or mainsail). There are still few reviews though, I want to wait

@Upgradetech 7 ай бұрын

The Kobra is better because you don't need to adjust like the Elegoo Neptune 4 max, I have the Neptune 3 it is similar to the four without the fast print, but I hate to change it every time I have to print. With the Kobra I don't need to make any adjustments.

@technologyanimals 7 ай бұрын

The Y axis is not the same. The Kobra has 2 belts and 2 tensioners.

@aminorinternet 7 ай бұрын

They’re pretty similar. I’d go with the Kobra 2 Max, it seems to have better print quality. Kobra 2 has: better y axis with dual rails, metal wheels rather than the plastic v wheels on the Neptune 4 max, auto z-offset. Neptune 4 max is a bit cheaper, Elegoo is said to have better support than Anycubic, uses closer to stock Klipper/fluidd/mainsail, better processor.

Be careful they are not regular nozzles. They are different on this model, and this sucks because it is only available at Anycubic store.

Going crazy here!!... Does anyone know how to calibrate the X and Y axis on these machines?. I can't even print a ROUND circle, even on the first layer :( I know there is an adjustment to pinpoint the nozzel in the center of the tiny little circle behind the print plate... but honestly that is inaccurate. I used to own an old CNC machine back in 2012.. I could simply ask the machine to move 15cm on any axis...I'd move it along side a ruler and see what the difference was..then adjust the software... does this machine have any option like this?.

I’m sorry to hear this, and for some reason people are very unhelpful when it comes to this machine specifically the 2 max - I also just purchased one and it’s really put me behind in my business endeavours… it’s my first, but I’m a pretty technically smart person right off the bat I can tell something is wrong.. printing 5 inches off the model halfway through or after a few layers… like almost a double of the same model connected… and a few other printing issues.

I recommend a Bambu Labs. The PS1 Model is about the same price as this but not a large printer. It also has a self-leveling, and in the future, you can print in different colors. I recommend this one of the best printers from all my other printers.

@FullMoonGravity 5 ай бұрын

I concur. Bambu Lab makes an awesome printer. I have the X1 Carbon and I love it. I also have the AMS. The X1C can print almost any filament. Their software package is top notch. One of my first prints was a life-sized human skull with 7 yr old ABS. It came out perfect. Build volume is 256mmx256mmx256mm, so not as big but it will not destroy itself while you sleep. Kobra 2 Max will. Mine went batshit and totally destroyed itself.

Once I repair it from its self-destructive episode I plan to try ASA. As for noise, the fan is quite loud. But the real fun is the vibration this thing makes. WOW!!! Better have a sturdy workbench!

У меня есть Anycubic Kobra Max (1 версия) и Elegoo Neptune 3. Мне кажется, что Anycubic печатает более аккуратно, но по сравнению с Elegoo у Anycubic есть проблемы с печатью первого слоя, а также продолжением печати после окончания филамента. После окончания филамента и его замены у Anycubic печать начинается с нового слоя, если даже предыдущий слой не был полностью напечатан, а Elegoo после окончания филамента допечатывает текущий слой и после замены печать начинается с нового слоя, поэтому следов замены филамента у Elegoo не видно совсем, и это очень хорошо. Также первый слой у Elegoo всегда идеальный. У Kobra Max выравнивание стола намного хуже чем у Elegoo, поэтому иногда деталь во время печати отрывается от стола, возможно в новой версии это исправили. Сейчас выбираю что купить Anycubic Kobra Max 2 или Elegoo Neptune 4 max. Но скорее всего выберу Elegoo Neptune 4 max или даже Elegoo Neptune 3 max, так как не уверен что Anycubic во второй версии Kobra Max 2 исправили, те проблемы которые были у Kobra Max 1.

Вам не нужно выравнивать Kobra Max 2, а на Netptun вы это сделаете, и у меня возникали проблемы каждый раз, когда мне нужна быстрая печать.

Between the quirky/broken firmware (you cant even put a pause in the gcode to change filament colors or such. The really crappy (aka useless) wifi that only works with their limited spyware slicer, and the NON-STANDARD HOTEND making it so you cant change to a .6 or .8 nozzle for such a huge size is INSANE. - BIG misstep by Anycubic, and I am VERY concerned their new multi-color will be even worse. -
