It is absolutely massive. That means you can print huge items in a single piece. Think of a full helmet or an entire ukulele\u2014these are things you couldn\u2019t print in one piece on a normal-sized 3D printer. Truly, the word \u201cMax\u201d doesn\u2019t sufficiently capture just how big this printer is. Good luck fitting the packaging into your trash or recycling bins!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We were skeptical that a Cartesian printer of this size (which relies on a moveable print bed) would perform well since it has a lot of weight to move around. Admittedly, it\u2019s not the speediest printer out there because of those design tradeoffs, but it works great. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n\t\t\t<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/helpdeskgeek.com\/wp-content\/pictures\/2022\/06\/01Box.jpg\" data-lasso-id=\"29984\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"581\" src=\"https:\/\/helpdeskgeek.com\/wp-content\/pictures\/2022\/06\/01Box.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-61038\" srcset=\"https:\/\/helpdeskgeek.com\/wp-content\/pictures\/2022\/06\/01Box.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/helpdeskgeek.com\/wp-content\/pictures\/2022\/06\/01Box-300x170.jpg 300w, https:\/\/helpdeskgeek.com\/wp-content\/pictures\/2022\/06\/01Box-768x436.jpg 768w, https:\/\/helpdeskgeek.com\/wp-content\/pictures\/2022\/06\/01Box-320x182.jpg 320w, https:\/\/helpdeskgeek.com\/wp-content\/pictures\/2022\/06\/01Box-640x363.jpg 640w, https:\/\/helpdeskgeek.com\/wp-content\/pictures\/2022\/06\/01Box-360x204.jpg 360w, https:\/\/helpdeskgeek.com\/wp-content\/pictures\/2022\/06\/01Box-720x409.jpg 720w, https:\/\/helpdeskgeek.com\/wp-content\/pictures\/2022\/06\/01Box-800x454.jpg 800w, https:\/\/helpdeskgeek.com\/wp-content\/pictures\/2022\/06\/01Box-610x346.jpg 610w, https:\/\/helpdeskgeek.com\/wp-content\/pictures\/2022\/06\/01Box-80x45.jpg 80w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\n\n<p>The Kobra Max has an impressive list of technical specifications:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Leveling: Automatic, 25 points leveling using the Anycubic Leviq technology<\/li><li>Panel area: 7.95 in\u00b2 \/ 51.3 cm\u00b2<\/li><li>Filament run-out detection: support<\/li><li>Printing material: PLA \/ ABS \/ PETG &amp; TPU<\/li><li>Nozzle size: \u00f8 0.4 mm (replaceable)<\/li><li>Nozzle temperature: \u2264 500 \u00b0F \/ 260 \u00b0C<\/li><li>Hot bed temperature: \u2264 194 \u00b0F \/ 90 \u00b0C<\/li><li>Average speed: 3.1 &#8211; 3.9 in.\/s  (80mm\/s &#8211; 100m\/s)<\/li><li>Control panel: 4.3 inch LCD touch screen<\/li><li>Z-axis: double threaded rod<\/li><li>Print size: 17.7 x 15.7 x 15.7 in. \/ 45 x 40 x 40 cm (HWD)<\/li><li>Build volume: 19.02 gal. \/ 72.0 L<\/li><li>Machine dimensions: 72 x 71.5 x 66.5cm<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>As far as we can tell, the extruder is identical to the extruder and print head on the Anycubic Vyper. Furthermore, the Kobra Max has the same automatic bed-leveling system as the Vyper. The system uses a pressure sensor instead of an inductive sensor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bed-leveling sensor is right on the nozzle itself, ensuring that it can probe every printable part of the bed. And since the sensor is pressure-based, you could replace the glass bed with any other material and the bed-leveling system will still work. (Inductive sensors require metal to work, so you won\u2019t find them on printers with glass beds.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n\t\t\t<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/helpdeskgeek.com\/wp-content\/pictures\/2022\/06\/03Extruder.jpg\" data-lasso-id=\"29985\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"583\" src=\"https:\/\/helpdeskgeek.com\/wp-content\/pictures\/2022\/06\/03Extruder.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-61041\" srcset=\"https:\/\/helpdeskgeek.com\/wp-content\/pictures\/2022\/06\/03Extruder.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/helpdeskgeek.com\/wp-content\/pictures\/2022\/06\/03Extruder-300x171.jpg 300w, https:\/\/helpdeskgeek.com\/wp-content\/pictures\/2022\/06\/03Extruder-768x437.jpg 768w, https:\/\/helpdeskgeek.com\/wp-content\/pictures\/2022\/06\/03Extruder-320x182.jpg 320w, https:\/\/helpdeskgeek.com\/wp-content\/pictures\/2022\/06\/03Extruder-640x364.jpg 640w, https:\/\/helpdeskgeek.com\/wp-content\/pictures\/2022\/06\/03Extruder-360x205.jpg 360w, https:\/\/helpdeskgeek.com\/wp-content\/pictures\/2022\/06\/03Extruder-720x410.jpg 720w, https:\/\/helpdeskgeek.com\/wp-content\/pictures\/2022\/06\/03Extruder-800x455.jpg 800w, https:\/\/helpdeskgeek.com\/wp-content\/pictures\/2022\/06\/03Extruder-610x347.jpg 610w, https:\/\/helpdeskgeek.com\/wp-content\/pictures\/2022\/06\/03Extruder-80x46.jpg 80w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\n\n<p>Since the Kobra Max\u2019s printing platform is a rigid glass sheet, you can\u2019t remove and flex it to pop your prints off.

It\u2019s better than having the spool on the top like on the Kobra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This printer is built with aluminum extrusions with aesthetically-pleasing plastic covers for the hotend and the tenionsers. It\u2019s got an optical z endstop. The x and y endstops are mechanical.

Appropriately, the owl is about twice the print volume of the owl test print that comes with the smaller Kobra. Given the bowden setup (which makes sense for a printer this size), we were surprised that the ears on the owl turned out so well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ears look better than they did on the owl printed on the Kobra which has a direct drive extruder system. We suspect that\u2019s due to the slower print speed. Many times, retractions on bowden extruders will create artifacts, but we didn\u2019t notice any blobs or stringing. It approaches the quality you\u2019d expect from a direct-drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n\t\t\t<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/helpdeskgeek.com\/wp-content\/pictures\/2022\/06\/11Vase.jpg\" data-lasso-id=\"29993\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"562\" src=\"https:\/\/helpdeskgeek.com\/wp-content\/pictures\/2022\/06\/11Vase.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-61049\" srcset=\"https:\/\/helpdeskgeek.com\/wp-content\/pictures\/2022\/06\/11Vase.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/helpdeskgeek.com\/wp-content\/pictures\/2022\/06\/11Vase-300x165.jpg 300w, https:\/\/helpdeskgeek.com\/wp-content\/pictures\/2022\/06\/11Vase-768x422.jpg 768w, https:\/\/helpdeskgeek.com\/wp-content\/pictures\/2022\/06\/11Vase-320x176.jpg 320w, https:\/\/helpdeskgeek.com\/wp-content\/pictures\/2022\/06\/11Vase-640x351.jpg 640w, https:\/\/helpdeskgeek.com\/wp-content\/pictures\/2022\/06\/11Vase-360x198.jpg 360w, https:\/\/helpdeskgeek.com\/wp-content\/pictures\/2022\/06\/11Vase-720x395.jpg 720w, https:\/\/helpdeskgeek.com\/wp-content\/pictures\/2022\/06\/11Vase-800x439.jpg 800w, https:\/\/helpdeskgeek.com\/wp-content\/pictures\/2022\/06\/11Vase-610x335.jpg 610w, https:\/\/helpdeskgeek.com\/wp-content\/pictures\/2022\/06\/11Vase-80x44.jpg 80w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\n\n<p>Next, we printed a vase with a large, flat base with a 0.2mm layer height. Removing prints from the glass bed is certainly not as easy as removing prints from smaller, flexible beds, but it\u2019s not a deal-breaker either. We didn\u2019t have any adhesion problems. The prints didn\u2019t release when the glass bed cooled, which is what we expected and hoped for. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Curious what the power requirements would be for a printer this size, we were worried we wouldn\u2019t be able to run multiple printers on the same circuit.  We measured the power usage while the Kobra Max was printing, and, as expected, power usage is highest while the printer is warming up. Ours topped out at 473 watts. While printing, it was a more manageable 200-300 watts. We thought it would be more than that. You could probably run three of these printers on a 20 amp circuit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cut to the Chase<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To drive home just how big the Kobra Max is, we put the Kobra on the bed of the Kobra Max. Insane.
