ANYCUBICKobra 3 Combo Without Filament, Multicolor 3D Printer Smart Print in 4 Colors with Anycubic ACE Pro, Max 600mm/s Speed 4.3-inch Adjustable Screen, Filament Drying at All Times, 250x250x260mm

Works great when you get it figured out not The best instrumental book.

The setup is the simplest I have yet to do with a printer. The ace pro is a bit finicky but after printing some ptfe tube guides and spool guides so it dosnt jump the small guide at the bottom it works flawlessly. The prints look just as good as my a1 and I love that I can eventually do 8 colors now. I have about 60 hours so far on it and only time will tell!

I'm writing from a persective of an upgrade from a slow entry level printer. This is so much better than I expected. One issue is that sometimes the prints break loose during the printing. Get spaghetti about 5% of the time. Another issue is that it creates a prime blob for each print. The amount of blob can be reduced, but not eliminated where priming can be controlled by the slicer only. I do auto leveling once a day only, and that seems to work just fine, as it will still calibrates the correct plate height before each print.The auto leveling is not really that. It actually detects the level of several points of the plate and stores the differeces in memory. The fan is by far the loudest thing during the printing. However, If I increase the speed above 200mm/s, the table stepper motor starts to whine.There is a software switch called LAN mode only in the printer that eliminates the use of having to sign into a cloud server to do prints. Unfortunately, in LAN mode only, you can not use Anycube Android app to monitor the printer anymore. Furthermore, you can not control the LAN mode only switch remotely. That's my biggest issue that I hope Anycube resolves with a future upgrade.Despite these issues, I highly recommend this printer over an entry level printer. When you properly adjust all the parts and slicer options, the prints come out nearly flawless.

Received my machine on Thursday evening, built it. Came home from work on Friday and within 5 hours this printer had self destructed during one of many failed prints. Shipped back to Amazon on Saturday morning, never had a machine fail so badly, so fast. The price and combo ACE should have tipped me off that quality would not be a top concern for Anycubic. The self leveling was a nightmare, I would be being gracious to say that it successfully determine where the build plate was in 1 out of 10 attempts, you would be better off going back to a sheet of paper to measure Z depth. Not to be all negative, the ACE worked well, slicer is workable, app tracked progress and if the unit had lasted more than a day, I would have hooked up a camera that would also be viewable. So basically everything but the actual printer worked as it should. The printer has so much potential, but unless Anycubic takes a long hard look at making an actual quality machine, we can look forward to Kobra 4 next year and Korbra 5 the yea after that with no real value added. Would I recommend buying this machine? No. But who knows, you may just be lucky enough to get a working unit that will print in multiple colors, dry filament, and cut hours off your print times. Good Luck!

I had written a previous review complaining about the pinter because I had problems with it early on. Anycubic's customer service has been very responsive and is taking care of the issues. I greatly appreciate companies that stand behind their products and it feels like this is one of those companies.

Very very fast ,wastes a little material during the color change so I may reduce purge, but other than that have no complaints. Was mostly assembled so about 20 minutes including updates, and I was printing! Very nice!!

what can I say but Awsome printer well worth the money

I am on my 2nd printer and 3rd hotend and 2nd printing head.My first printer had the old hot end in it which is defective. I was unaware of this and used the one out of the box. The hot end squeezed the filament out top of the heating block on the hot end. The excess would boil and drip down onto the prints and the bed causing the prints to look horrible and be unable to finish. After replacing the hot end with a newer version 2 the printer worked great untilThe ace material sorter fed the filament into the internals of the machine instead of through it causing it to bind and break the sensor. The other three still worked but retuned the whole unit. The 2nd printer I got clogged inside the printing head above the hot end about where the cutter is. The print head would no longer function I replaced the print head then the x axis belt snapped with no sign of wear. I looked and could not find any information on changing the belt so I have Initiated a 2nd return. All of this happened within a 5 week period. Each week a new problem would arise with the printer I would have to throw money at.While the print quality is nice and the when it is working I thoroughly enjoyed the printer but it seems the product was rushed and quality control isn’t that great. I would still recommend the printer just use caution and understanding that this is not a 1000$ printer with a million dollar quality control team. But the repairs I did and the parts I bought up until the belt has some great support online and was relatively easy to swap parts and get the printer running again for the most part.Watch the ace and be careful with it at all times.The reality is you get what you pay for and this is the cheapest multicolor printer on the market.
