All extruders pull the filament in the same way. The extruder cannot twist the filament as it pulls it in. Either the filament was wound already twisted or you accidentally twisted it as you fed it into the extruder mechanism. I print with tri color filament all the time and it comes out as it should when printed so that is no fault of the KE (I have the lower end SE). That being said, I paid $99 for my SE as have many others through Creality Certified Refurbished deals, and it prints beautifully and fast if you actually change the speed settings. Depending on the complexity of the model, you can set it at 250mm per second and it flies with great quality. The KE easily outperforms it so I would try your tests again with higher speed settings as opposed to the default slicer settings and see what the differences are, but thanks for the video. It was fun to watch and will stick around for more!

I really appreciated this. I've had an original Ender 3 for 4 years. Had a lot of fun with it (just a hobbyist), but struggling with it more lately and thinking I should upgrade. Trying to decide whether to spend more for something like the Bambu that requires less tweaking or just get a newer Ender 3 like the KE. Still not sure, but your video was helpful.

Just got my Kobra 3 this is only my second printer my first was an Anycubic I3 Mega which I had done some minor upgrades too over time but it's been an awesome printer so I figured lets give this a shot it's time to upgrade to higher speed and multi color. Not sure what is causing the issues here but all I can say is mine has printed almost perfectly right out of the box. Just a couple tweaks in the slicer (using the Anycubic Orca Beta) and items I have just printed recently on my old printer are even better on the new one in 1/5 to 1/8 the time in single color. Multi color prints have come out well considering how new the tech is. I did some prints with the shipped firmware and some with the latest firmware all were great. I wouldn't let one persons issues stop me from buying a Kobra 3, I hate to see something being bashed that doesn't deserve it in my opinion.

@BTGDeltaАй бұрын
Thanks for sharing, you've done a decent review and mentioned all the weak spots of kobra 3, but to be honest, I wouldn't say that it's a bad product. I just recently got my Kobra 3 and it's a steal. At this price point I expect some amount of jank from a 3d printer, but so far it was way better than my previous kobra 2 pro. There are many things with their printers that require you to take a deep dive into servicing and setting up 3d printers, instead of just printing your stuff. For example, from watching your video, I think your printer could use either an x-axis gantry tramming or leveling the bed. Also, print speeds are mostly marketing wank, if you are not printing a high volume of commercial stuff, go with the slow/quiet mode. The prints will be way more consistent. Multicolor prints are notoriously wasteful, which is true for most of multicolor 3d printers, since purging the hot end every time costs a lot of filament. One undeniable major pain point is the software side of things. Anycubic slicers do the job, but they are very lacking in options. You can get better results if you set up stuff properly with orca, but then you are forced to go with USB drives. The whole anycubic cloud thing kinda sucks honestly. And that's where I hope to see some improvements over the next months.
