Anycubic Kobra 3D Printer Review — An affordable begginer friendly 3D printer
The Kobra is Anycubics’ newest beginner printer. This machine has a lot to offer.
I reviewed the Kobra and the Kobra Max at the same time, so I will be referencing both machines in each review, respectfully. You can check out the Kobra Max’s review here.

Semi assembled
The Anycubic Kobra comes semi-assembled, which may seem like an odd thing to highlight as a feature but as a beginner having the most minimal set-up is great. This is accompanied by a fantastic user manual that talks you through every step of the assembly and set up, including the installation and preparation of Anycubics slicer of choice — Ultimaker Cura. Anycubic has really made this a very accessible machine for people new to 3D printing, having even included a settings profile for Cura, decreasing faffing by tenfold. The semi-assembled shipping and settings profile are potentially my favourite part of the Kobra, as it really nails what a beginner’s machine should be.
