With the Anycubic Kobra 3 Combo, 3D printers are really starting to show off.

Marvelous though they are, most machines are only able to print with one color at a time. Changing between shades means manually faffing about with different filaments, and it’s a drag. With the Anycubic Kobra 3 Combo, though? It’s easy. This one can have up to four spools loaded up at any one time, and it can swap between them mid-project without any input from you.

Honestly, I never want to go back.

No matter what approach you take, you’ll get resultsfast. In contrast to its predecessors, the Kobra 3 is able to achieve speeds of up to 600mm/s. Considering how most printers start to sweat if they approach 300mm/s, that’s astounding.

So far as its look goes, the Kobra 3 is my favorite of Anycubic’s FDM devices to date. The blend of cool metal, black plastic, glassy elements, and orange highlights makes it feel, in a word, premium. Best of all, it isn’t going to take up masses of space on your worktop – it’s compact despite having a build volume of 250 x 250 x 260mm.

Just be aware that you’ll need to set aside extra space for the Ace Pro if you want to get that too; it doubles the necessary footprint.

Anycubic Kobra 3 Combo with items printed using it

3D printing is like sorcery when you get started, but as with so much in life, that shine eventually wears off. Novel becomes normal.

Multi-color printing brings a pinch of that magic back for me.

With the option to thread different colors into a model, it allows you to create everything from tokens to fully ‘painted’ projects that look good off the build plate. Let’s say you wanted to print Bowser from Super Mario. So long as you assigned the right colors in Anycubic’s Slicer (green for the head, red for hair, yellow for his snout, etc), you won’t need to touch it with a paintbrush after the fact. The Kobra 3 will do the work for you.

Straightforward slicingI appreciate that some will be put out at having to use proprietary software with the Kobra 3 (at least at first – apparently Cura compatibility is on the way, though I couldn’t get it working), but don’t write it off yet. I’ve had issues with Anycubic’s systems before, but this one works surprisingly well. It feels as if Anycubic has learned from past mistakes, and I don’t feel the loss of Cura as much as I’d expected here. I didn’t feel as if I needed a programming degree to operate it, either. This is an accessible, user-friendly system on the whole, and its auto-supports are genuinely great – their tree-like limbs come off with no fuss, and remind me of resin supports.

Alright, so there’s a learning curve. Only painting the top of a surface (AKA the highest flat face of a shape) rather than the whole thing will result in a patchy covering, for example. Missing a side will exponentially increase print time because the Kobra 3 is endlessly swapping colors, too. But so long as you’ve been thorough in selecting your colors and applying them to more than the uppermost layer, you’ll get beautiful results. As a case in point, my tokens came out looking fantastic once I’d learned the slicer’s ins and outs.

Even if you’re not printing with multiple colors, the finished product is still impressive. The machine’s self-diagnosing software and cooling mechanisms make sure prints come out looking crisper than I’d expected, and I’ve gotten. Even the handful of cosplay items I’ve used it on look grand.

The only thing to watch out for would be the Ace Pro getting itself into a pickle. At some point, filament got tangled as it made its way through the inside of the machine, and that basically knocked out one of my spools until I could take the whole thing apart for removal. It’s not a common issue in that I haven’t experienced it before or since, but itisa pain if it happens.

Equally, the Kobra 3 itself isn’t immune to classic printer problems like blockages. However, it’s fairly easy to fix yourself and seems to have been set up so that DIY repairs are as straightforward as possible.

Should you buy the Anycubic Kobra 3 Combo?
