Tips for Anycubic printers

  • The Kobra series has excellent auto-bed leveling
  • Use their multi-color system for creative prints
  • An enclosure helps with warping-prone materials, and the enclosed Kobra S1 Max adds an actively heated chamber
  • PLA and PETG work reliably out of the box
  • Hotend limits vary by model: the older Kobra 2 line tops out around 260C, the Kobra 3 generation runs 300C, and the enclosed Kobra S1 Max reaches 350C, so check your specific model before printing high-temp materials
