I snagged the lifetime commercial as well. I'm happy to hear they don't offer it anymore. I sell prints 3 times a week. Highly recommend StlFlix 💯

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!

Did you ever figure it out? I’m having the same issue! 😫

I like it's open, I saw an MKS SKIPR mainboard. How easy is the maintenance of the hotend? I see a nozzle that you risk to brake something when it's needed to change.

That looks great, imagine what they'd be like with multiple coats and proper shading.

Wont this ruin your soldering iron tip?

Did you repair it ?

Can you batch download files, or one model at a time?

Very high quality models. Definitely worth it for me.

😂 How much?

Thanks. I will save troubles and get bambulabs instead

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.

Thank you! Was about to waste my money on this thing

I have an Ender 3v2 running clipper. I've not been able to get it to print much faster than it did with Marlin. Thinking of upgrading. How much faster really is this than my E3v2?

You can get this for 159.99 at Micro center, they can ship the printer too. (This deal is the set price for it so it will always cost that much)

I like the K3 for the convivence of changing colors for single color prints. If I do multi-color prints its by individual layers.

Hmmmm🤔 I think, you‘ve a monday maschine😅

STL Flux also offers education and tips for success

i have had mine for 1 day and im already having problems with the ace pro were number 3 is not working at all anycubic said its a blockage i do belive its more faulty tho

Anything changed since this was posted? What are good filament deals in August 2024?

I talked it out with my wife and we decided we wanted accuracy rather than multi-color. We’ve got airbrush and paints, so while I have loved my FDM printers I think our next one will be a the Saturn 4 Ultra.

This is how you fix the problem..........buy a bambu lab printer

I just got my printer. Hooked it up tightened everything ran calibration and it printed perfect every time. No issues. Love my prince with this Cobra 3 and I did get the ace with it

And what if I run out of dogs to 3D print?

I've been attempting to print a similar size dragon for the past week now and everytime I will have a print failure, it looks like it's all going great then the nozzle seems to knock a price off and that's it, all that time and filament wasted.

😬 I have only been in this hobby for about 2 years and I have never seen that happen Btw I recommend heating up the nozzle then using a thin blade to act as a screw driver to unscrew it, I can elaborate on what I mean by this if you are confused.

Same, run a PID tune and see if it fixes it

i want lots of sci fi spaceship replicas. would i find them here . welp there was $15 wasted. no sci fi ships whole lotta nothing like what i was looking for. smh i knew better than to suscribe to something i couldn't even look in the library.

ik this is probably stupid but did you heat it before hand? before removing the nozzle heat it to like 230-240 or the nozzle snaps. I noticed it was ruby tipped which sucks to lose

Files?

Right out the box you're wrong. Bambu fan boy or didn't spend any time on the kobra3

That is the most horrible thing i have ever heard

Great video!!!

The ironic timing of when you state that you notice a flaw and the anycibic print head comes into view😂

I bought mine on Prime day on impulse. It is supposed to areive today. Not sure i will even open the box. I really want to like this one though. But i have the A1, the mini, and x1c. Im wrestling with my j1s at the moment and really don't want to add another headache. The mk3s+ chugs along as usual and bother nobody. I don't know if the k3 will get along with the others.

I just know this dude has so much Reddit karma

They have a lot of software issues which they fix on the fly. You know that 'agile' methodology, when someone sells crap, and fixes it until it sells or get bankrupt = ). Computer games are often sells with this method. Glad you could make it. This machine does not look like you can do much with it.

Another things, try to print all in one test printer

Hi, that seems a pritty 3d printer, but one things, i think calibrato could help to increase quality of print, but is a good base

that’s so sad

i like the elegoo rapid petg 2 kilo bundle for 25

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.

I didn’t get my filament or camera with mine

I own the Snapmaker 2.0 A350T and AnyCubic Kobra 3 Combo. AnyCubic is getting all my 3d print time now. Snapmaker is old slow tech. More compact than all 3 separate machines but a master of none. Honest Opinion.

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.

Could you please do a video on "dialing" or tuning this thing in? I can't find anything on how to.

I want YOU to paint him.

Thanks, it was funny how you did smile and fast made an angry face.
