Description
No more slow, monotonous and boring 3D printing! With the Kobra 3 Combo from Anycubic you get a fascinating, perfectly coordinated 3D printing duo that supports you in all your creative projects in the best possible way.
The combo combines two components that take your 3D printing to a whole new level:
The Kobra 3 FDM 3D printer brings your ideas to life with an outstanding printing speed of up to 600 mm/s and a maximum acceleration of 20,000 mm/s². The printer from the popular Kobra series is supported by Anycubic Colour Engine Pro, the so-called ACE Pro, an automatic material system with drying function for all those who want to experiment with multi-colour printing. Exclusive filaments developed in collaboration with PANTONE Color Institute (not included) finally get the best out of the combo!
This is how colorful splendor meets record speed!
Anycubic Kobra 3
With its impressive build volume of 250 x 250 x 260 mm, the Kobra 3 offers enough space for all your ambitious projects, while the print speed of up to 600 mm/s and an acceleration of 20,000 mm/s² enable breathtaking print times.
Robust design with integrated core modules
The printer impresses with its elegant design and at the same time with its robust construction. The integrated, easy-to-install core modules have a sealed design that effectively protects the important components from dust and other influences.
Precisely manufactured XY axis
The printer's precision-engineered XY axis features a double metal core and SG15 bearings to ensure smooth and stable operation. The entire motion mechanism is incredibly wear-resistant, ensuring a long service life.
Stable Z-axis with dual leadscrews
The Z-axis of the Kobra 3 has a dual leadscrew, which ensures that the stroke resistance is reduced during printing.
Improved cooling system
The design of the extruder fan has been optimized to easily achieve a higher operating speed of 7000 rpm. This allows heat to be dissipated better and the printed models to be cooled down faster.
Newly developed LeviQ 3.0 with an even more intelligent Z-offset
With LeviQ 3.0, automatic levelling becomes child's play. A specially developed module ensures intelligent compensation of the Z offset after automatic levelling, with the calculation and adjustment taking place fully automatically at the push of a button.
Smart functions for conducting self-tests
► Monitoring the belt tension: The resonance detection function allows the belt tension to be identified with a click and forwarded to a smart AI detection system. Attention! A camera must be used to use the AI function.
► Resume Printing function for automatic resumption of printing in the event of an unexpected power failure.
► Filament run-out sensor for automatic detection of running out filament.
Vibration compensation
An accelerometer sensor (G-sensor) for vibration compensation can be used to detect the resonance frequencies of the X and Y axes and to make adjustments to the motion control. Offset printed lines are a thing of the past, and the precision and stability of your 3D printed models are immediately noticeable.
Temperatures up to 300 °C
The Kobra 3 is designed for printing temperatures of up to 300 °C. The quick-release design allows the nozzles to be changed without tools.
Additional features:
- 32-bit motherboard with silent drivers for a quiet printing experience,
- 4.3 inch touchscreen with adjustable rotation angle (30°-60°),
- Quick adjustment of the XY belt tensioner via button.
Anycubic Colour Engine Pro – ACE Pro
With Anycubic's Colour Engine Pro, you can print multiple materials simultaneously, create complex objects in colourful combinations, and save time and resources.
With 4 available spool slots, the automatic multicolour material system can accommodate up to 4 different colours at the same time to optimally support your multicolour printing. If the device is combined with another ACE system, even 8-colour printing with a wide range of colour combinations is possible.
How does multi-colour printing work with Colour Engine Pro ?
The desired colours are automatically switched during the printing process according to your slicer settings and the corresponding consumables are delivered to the printer. It's that easy!
Active drying function for more printing success
ACE Pro uses a dual 200 watt PTC heating element for active and even drying of your filaments during the printing process. The heating module is supported by two powerful fans that ensure hot air circulation. Tip: The interior temperature can be set up to 55 °C with optimal humidity.
Drying during printing or filament storage
The drying function can of course be used throughout the entire printing process to ensure that moisture-free filaments are always available. However, thanks to the Sealed Space Design, the Colour Engine Pro can also be used for the safe and careful storage of filaments.
Anti-tangle design
The Anycubic Colour Engine Pr o is connected to the extruder in parallel through four output lines. Since each of the filament slots has its own output line, when changing colours, not all of the filament in the output line needs to be wound back to the spool, but only the part that is fed back into the inner chamber of the extruder. This reduces the possibility of spool entanglement on the one hand and prevents the material from running out in a moment on the other.
An active rewind function allows the device to actively rewind the filament during a colour change. The combination of a parallel connection and active winding benefits the anti-tangling function.
Smart features:
► Clogging detection: A smart mechanical buffer structure detects blockages in good time and consequently interrupts the print.
► Automatic refilling of two consecutive colour filament spools: After the first spool has been used up, printing of the second spool with the same colour filament will automatically begin.
► Intelligent colour change: A special algorithm calculates the colour category of the printed model layer by layer. Adjacent layers are continuously printed with the same colour, reducing material changes and filament waste. This also noticeably reduces the overall printing time of a model.
► RFID Sync: In-house filament spools equipped with an RFID chip are automatically recognised by the ACE regarding their colour and material type.
Optional: PANTONE filaments
In an exclusive collaboration between Anycubic and PANTONE, the first certified consumables for 3D printing were developed.
The filaments are a real eye-catcher and come in four stunning colours:
- Peach Fuzz
- Interstellar Violet
- Tropical Turquoise
- SpringLeaf
Attention! The PANTONE filaments are NOT included in the delivery of the Kobra 3 Combo!

Not good, not terrible
Rated with 2 out of 5 stars.
I got Kobra K3 combo few days ago. I have run some tests on it and I can say that I am not satisfied with it so far. I am still blaming everything on "user experience" so that's why it got 2 stars not 1 at the moment.
I will continue doing some tests and adjustments to see if the results can be improved.
But so far here's the issues I am facing:
1) warped build plate - middle is great but two corners are warped down ending up in a underextrusion on the sides - turning the 25x25 cm build volume into more of a 10x10 cm usable arena.
2) The underextrusion is terrible on the sides, but it is also visible on top layers even if the object is placed in the center. (should be fixable with adjusted settings, but would assume that printer is working once put together and does not tons of tinkering right away).
3) Ace pro (material system box) does not work properly - when I try to extrude the material, Ace Pro device does not feed it in the printer. (when I change a spool slot, it works for 1 print and then does not work for the next print). - Due to this I have not yet tested any multicolor print.
4) Anycubic slicer is not great. If you are used to Bambu Labs slicer then Anycubic's sclicer will feel very bad UI and very basic setting changes.
All in All I am not happy with this printer. I will keep testing it as I hope that it will be "fixed" by tinkering with settings.
If so, then I will give it 4 stars, if not then 1 star.
Now something good about the printer:
1) It is rather fast, default settings give me the same print times as my Bambu Lab P1P / P1S printers.
2) It is simple to get things printing from PC - just connect the Printer with wifi and sending prints is effortless.
3) Layer lines are great - not too visible
As I read in the Anycubic Kobra 3 combo Facebook Group - it is similar to Creality K1 - either you get lucky and the printer works great or you get a faulty machine with warped built plate and you need to tinker a lot to have at least some hopes for it to be working properly.
For me it will work good enough for the "prototyping" of new designs to see if they work as intended, but it will definitely not be used for products that are meant to be sold and require level of quality.
Can't recommend this printer (yet)
