You can create affordable 3D prints up to 5x faster with Anycubic’s Kobra 2

Affordable desktop 3D printers have been taking over the creative space for quite some time now, but the move away from the clunky and expensive machines of yesteryear has not always been a guarantee that 3D printing could be an accessible hobby. Even in their smaller form factors, 3D printers could still be cost prohibitive. Of those units that were affordable there was often a concern of the printed products being low quality. Technology has continued improving and today’s desktop 3D printers —like the Kobra 2 by Anycubic—aim to provide beginners and professionals alike high speed, professional quality prints at an affordable price point.  

5X the speed

Not only is the Kobra 2 quick to set up, but it is also quick to get into your first print, as well. Thanks to its default print speed of 150mm/s and maximum print speed of 250mm/s, the Kobra 2 is capable of completing a Benchy model with 0.28mm layer height in just 30 minutes.. To achieve this the printer utilizes a dual-gear direct drive extruder with a 4:1 gear ratio, which helps prevent slippage of the filament to the hot end, allowing for precise extrusion and flow control even when the printer is moving quickly. The Kobra 2’s 60W high-power hot end is capable of providing enough heat to melt the filament at higher rates, increasing the speed at which the printer is capable of printing while also improving the flow to prevent clogs and other print ruining issues even at higher speeds.
