Couple of questions because I have a Kobra Plus:
1. for some reason my computer refused to read the provided micro sd card or thumb drive so I couldn't get the "recommended profile" or what ever it was called to set up Cura. Any clue how to get the right stuff? I couldn't find it on their site and ended up finding one from some random person that claims it would work as long as I adjusted my build plate size, and it is working but not sure it was the best settings.
2. Why do all peoples prints have a circle around the area but doesn't attach to the model while mine makes a giant flash around all model bases that actually attaches to the model? I have to clean up the base of everything I print and unsure what setting that actually is and worry about changing random settings and messing something up. You can see what I'm talking about at 3:43. Your printer drew a couple of lines like an inch away. Mine does it like 1/4 of an inch and then attaches to the model.

Aside from those questions I seem to have no issue with mine except the plastic scraper they provided was crap and ended up chipping and I now use a metal paint scraper to remove from the glass.

I recently bought a Kobra plus ... before that there were only lcd from anycubic ... I'm still trying to figure out the settings of the cura to get a normal texture of the top surface when printing horizontally (for example, a wooden floor) ... I can't find information anywhere about this ...

Can you share your profile that you ended up using?

Great review! I’m starting to move away from glass and making the switch to flexible build sheets .

Awesome review, would you mind telling me what your Cura settings you are running for it? Thank you!

where can i join the group for the cobra plus ?

I had a chip out of a Kobra Max bed but Anycubic sent out a replacement. Do not print PetG on these surfaces without out doing some research. I believe using glue will prevent it but doe so at you own risk and better still, print on the other size.

I just order one I have mega x and didn't like no self leveling and speed is the issue too, if they had direct drive on kobra plus that whould be a plus, and where to find those print they are amazing?!

Do you have any cura prfiles that you can upload for Silk Pla for the Kobra Plus? Would be much appreciated!

[thepaintingtentacle]

I just got my Kobra Plus. Having all kinds of print issues with it. You seem to have it pretty dialed in. Do you have any guide on the settings you are using. I am getting a lot of stringing on my PETG prints, and I cannot get the same quality on PLA prints as I did on the owl test print.

What 3d printing model software can I use with the kobra plus

Great review! Very glad you recommended the bed change! I was wondering how it’s held up over the 10 months since this was first reviewed?

[dadandhittas]

Hello thank you for the review I ordered the 310x310 PEI sheet which is to short question is can you still use auto level with this size?

[nunyabusiness]

Do you think you’ll do a calibration video for the AnyCubic Kobra plus. I’m really struggling with bad stringing among other things. Please help

Hi I have a question, maybe someone here can help me: I am quite new in the 3D printing world, now I'm responsible to find a new 3d Printer for the company where I work, because I will be using it mostly. So I want to print parts with the best precision as possible, and I am sure I want to get a FDM printer. Because we build some "devices" with housing, I was thinking of the Kobra Max, but I read maybe for smaller parts is the Max not so ideal, that's why I was thinking to get the Kobra Plus, as 99% of the parts should fit in the 300x300 bed, just not the Housing comnpletly as in the Kobra, but then I will have to live with that. Does that makes sense?? THANKS FOR THE HELP! :)

[derrcirno]

Do you have any good settings for printing PLA+?
i have issues with stringing and how the prints come out, i think its a temperature/retraction speed issue.

[michaeldurden]

Okay definitely new to the game but I cannot find this printer in cura

[MrKretzsches]

Any chance that you could measure the feet distance for me? Like how small could a plate be so that the feet can rest on it?

[johnnyhellfire]

I feel like I'm living the Mandela effect but was it just me or didn't the Kobra max have the direct drive extruder when it first came out??
