Hey, I’ve had a Kobra X for about a week now. For the first 20 or so prints, I had absolutely no issues, and every print worked perfectly right off the bat. Now, however, I seem to be slowly running into adhesion problems. Or could it be the filament? The filament was all brand-new and came in sealed packaging. I’m using Anycubic PLA filament. I run the bed leveling routine before every print. I’ve already tried wiping down the bed with a paper towel soaked in isopropyl alcohol, followed by brushing it with the fine brush that came with the printer—but unfortunately, that didn't help.

Event runs through May 31 UTC.

I ordered filaments for about 50$ from official store.
Initially they were delayed as they said that most of them are out of stock and that they will be shipped in late May.
Order was paid and confirmed almost month ago and now after talking with support they write following.

I ordered from Serbia and I can’t order from Amazon or other Anycubic stores.

This is crazy as I can also expect import tax and customs fee…
Did someone have similar situation?

Hey, does anybody know where i can find these butterfly files Anycubic has on their website? I went on the profile they linked on the bottom right but haven't found it.

So a few weeks ago I purchased a new Kobra X in order to print a project for my son's birthday. I'd previously owned some no name bed slinger, but hadn't touched it in years. We had tons of filament just laying around. So my son started gathering small fidgets, dragons, simple action figures. And each day he greets the woman who lets kids out at drop off and shows her what his dad 3d printed for him. As a blended family (he's my stepson, and neurodivergent), hearing him announce me as "dad" is a major step forward.

Well he had told this woman, my dad can pwint anything. So she asked if I could make a SpongeBob. I originally printed a simple one color white SpongeBob fidget. We gave it to her the other day and she was absolutely floored. But I felt guilty it wasn't accurate colors. I decided to build this pen storage SpongeBob for her.

When we dropped him off this morning, she was proudly wearing the fidget she had gotten, however she'd taken it to have it painted professionally in order to look like SpongeBob. She cried when my son presented her the pencil storage and proceeded to tell my wife her husband's name was Bob. He passed away from dementia and the necklace meant so much to her.

Just wanted to share a bit of good that I didn't see coming when we purchased the printer.

I've been trying to solve this for the last week and have tried almost everything. I have upgraded to a new bin metal heat break, new hot end, new filament, I'm printing with petg-cf @255/75.

The print seems to fail at the exact same place every time. In the image that left side part should be filled in. But it's at that moment where filament stops coming out.

Each time it appears to be clogging. So ok I upgrade the parts and I dig into the settings. I slow down the print speed and have varied extruder lengths, line widths, and heights. It's like shooting in the dark though.

What's even more frustrating is that if I do a calibration print, regardless of which one it will be able to complete them. Once I recognized this I tried just deleting the calibration model and swapping in my model but it still fails.

What's even worse is anycubic doesn't have a petg-cf profile. Which makes me mad because it appears that every other company does. They sell the damn filament and the printer and supply their fork of the software and it doesn't even have the fuckin entire library of their products. It's a joke.

Sorry I've been trying to solve this for weeks and it's frustrating. Any help would be appreciated

So I’m thinking of getting a cobra X but the printer with the filament on top is about 28 inches from what I’ve heard. I only have about 24 inches until it goes into some closet shelving that I don’t want to move or get rid of is there any way that I can mount the filament holder above that shelving?

Edit: Can someone with a Kobra X maybe just give me the measurements of the bars that hold the filiment? (The width mostly?)

Maybe I can put them between the tines?

I performed auto-leveling, ran a test print, and the printer pulls the print off the bed. What's wrong?

After a few weeks of printing with the Kobra S1 Max, I ended up designing a full set of practical upgrades focused on airflow, maintenance, waste management, filament routing and overall usability.

No RGB nonsense. Just functional improvements that actually make the machine nicer to live with.

Here’s the collection so far:

Everything was designed around:

clean installation

printability without exotic settings

functional improvements first

OEM-style integration

Most parts are optimized for PLA/PETG/ASA/ABS where it actually matters thermally.

If anyone has ideas for additional S1 Max upgrades, I’m already prototyping more mods.

The machine is good stock. But like every 3D printer ever made… it gets significantly better after the community starts fixing things.

I purchased 3 different colors of this brand of PETG filament. If anyone here has ever used or uses this exact one, could someone please help me out with the best settings recommended. I just started using a brand new printer as well. Bambu Lab A1. In the first photo of the failed print session, I just tried to print at factory settings but it was with my own supports that I tried making and it was pretty stringy and started to fail quickly. The second photo, I did default supports which is someone’s supports. It was printing nicely until it got to roughly about 10% and it just didn’t really wanna print as it should. And on the second print, I also bumped into an issue. After right around 10% my printer started to make rattling noises. My nozzle would go to the far left after printing circles every round, once it goes to the far left, it’d make a rattle/vibration sound. Then my plate would move all the way back then come back, then nozzle would print one round, and this is on repeat. Hopefully this all makes sense for someone to understand me. This printer is brand stankin new, just put it together earlier today. Its firmware is up to date, and it’s been calibrated. Everything is on & plugged in. All screws are nicely tight. Everything is ran through good. Lubricant oil is put on. If someone can help me with these, I’d greatly appreciate your help a lot. Also, I’ve already dried the filament couple days ago for 6 hours at 65°C at 5% humidity. And I am trying to print a PS5 controller front face plate. Want to do the back and center once I can get the settings figured out.

Best settings recommended for that filament/brand.
Issues with the printer as described if anyone has had related problems.
