1 English review written for Anycubic Kobra Neo

Amazing Printer for Newbies!

Rated with 5 out of 5 stars.

It took about 2 hours of assembling and setting the extrusion rate and print speed to start printing properly. After that if was smooth sailing, as they say.

Here is an image of my first 3D-print. I felt like I had seen enough Benchies for a few lives, so I printed one of my Sketchfab models. You can check the original at https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/nonsensical-mystery-box-c11409a25db644fb95c16a7444b3c63f. Printed dimensions are 74mm x 26mm x 23mm (X-Y-Z, I also narrowed it a bit in the Y-axle). You can compare and see the accuracy of the print.

Printer comes with 10 meters of white PLA-filament. Lot more than I expected or necessary for setting things up and printing two or three test models.

Also the printer comes with all the tools you need for fastening things and cutting filament. There are actually so many tools that I kinda hoped there would have been a toolbox in the frame, which isn't included nor is there space for one.

Then there's a microSD-card and USB adapter for connecting to PC.
The card has the Cura-software for 'slicing' your models. It is surprisingly effective! It even has animated preview of the printing process on top of showing all the print layers, fillings, walls, supports and lot of other arcane stuff (I mean everything) exactly how the printer is going to do it. Also all the temperature settings and print speeds. Yes, you heard me right, all the speeds. There's so much fine control over the operation of the printer that I am completely blown away. I thought that overclocking computer memory was complicated, but this takes the cake.

One problem I was anticipating was the colder climate where I live. All the recommended temperature settings were too low and I had to set custom temperatures while operating. Thankfully, these can be saved in the gcode-files (meaning, you will have per model printer settings) in the Cura-software, so there's no need to set them every time on the printer itself. Although, you can change temperatures (extruder AND the build plate), speed and the z-offset on the fly while the printer is working.

Printer also worked very well without glues. The print stuck enough to stay and not too strongly to be hard to remove. That was something I was somewhat afraid but worked out really well.

Personally I am very happy and excited by this printer, and I think that I got amazing value for the price. Can't wait to make more stuff with it!
