It has quickly become one of our favorites

3D printer manufacturer Anycubic recently released two new printers: the Anycubic Kobra and its bigger, badder uncle, the Anycubic Kobra Max. We were interested in testing both products in our quest to find the best entry-level 3D printers. We look at ease of use and affordability, as well as build and print quality.

We’ve published a number of Anycubic 3D printer reviews, both for FDM printers like the Anycubic Vyper that print with spools of filament, and for SLA resin 3D printers like the Anycubic Photon Mono X 6K that use liquid resin as a feedstock. We can safely say that the Kobra Max has quickly become one of our favorites.

The most striking feature of this printer is its size. It is absolutely massive. That means you can print huge items in one piece. Think of an entire helmet or an entire ukulele: these are things you can’t print in one piece on a regular sized 3D printer. The word “Max” doesn’t quite cover how big this printer is. Good luck throwing that packaging in the trash or recycling bin!
