As someone who has been experimenting with 3D printing for a while, I recently decided to upgrade to the ANYCUBIC Kobra 2 Neo, and I am thoroughly impressed with its performance, ease of use, and features. Here’s a detailed review of my experience with this 3D printer:
Design and Build Quality:
The Kobra 2 Neo has a robust, sleek design, with an easy-to-assemble structure. Assembly was straightforward, and it didn’t take long to get everything set up. The metal frame ensures durability, and the build quality feels premium compared to other printers in this price range. The overall footprint is relatively compact, so it doesn't take up much space in my workshop.
Ease of Setup:
Setting up the Kobra 2 Neo was a breeze. The printer comes mostly pre-assembled, so after a quick and simple calibration process, I was ready to start printing. The automatic bed leveling feature was a huge time-saver, and it took the guesswork out of one of the most tedious parts of 3D printing. The touchscreen interface is intuitive, making navigation and adjustments easy for both beginners and experienced users.
Print Quality:
The print quality of the ANYCUBIC Kobra 2 Neo is outstanding. I’ve printed a variety of objects so far, including intricate models and functional parts, and the results have been crisp, clean, and highly detailed. The precision of this printer really stands out, with smooth layers and minimal defects or stringing. The printer supports a wide range of filament types, including PLA, ABS, and TPU, which gives me a lot of flexibility depending on my project.
Speed and Efficiency:
This printer offers impressive speed, with quick heat-up times for both the bed and the extruder. The Kobra 2 Neo is able to print with faster speeds without sacrificing quality, making it ideal for both prototyping and larger print runs. The silent operation is also worth mentioning—it's much quieter compared to other models I’ve used, allowing me to run it even in a shared space without it being a disturbance.
Additional Features:
Auto Bed Leveling: The Kobra 2 Neo features a powerful auto-bed leveling system that ensures the first layer is always perfect, reducing the likelihood of failed prints.
Resume Printing Function: If the printer loses power or has an interruption, it resumes the print right where it left off, saving time and materials.
Large Build Volume: With a substantial print area, the Kobra 2 Neo allows for larger prints, which is perfect for my projects that require bigger models.
Touchscreen Display: The touchscreen is responsive and easy to navigate, making it easy to monitor and control the printing process.
Support and Software:
ANYCUBIC provides excellent customer support and a wealth of online resources, including tutorials and FAQs. The printer is compatible with popular slicing software like Cura and the ANYCUBIC iBox, offering flexibility in how I prepare my models for printing.
Final Thoughts:
The ANYCUBIC Kobra 2 Neo is an exceptional 3D printer that strikes a perfect balance between affordability, performance, and ease of use. It’s great for hobbyists, DIY enthusiasts, and even professionals looking for a reliable machine to create high-quality prints. With its impressive print quality, automatic bed leveling, and quiet operation, it has quickly become a staple in my 3D printing setup.
Would I recommend it? Absolutely. This printer has made my 3D printing experience smoother and more efficient, and I’m confident it will do the same for others.
Would I buy it again? Yes, without hesitation. It’s a solid, dependable choice in the world of consumer 3D printers.

It works well!
I've had the printer for a few hours and I love it!Here are my thoughts:- The instructions to assemble are mostly good, except for the part where I assumed the tube it already had in the printer head was extra filament but instead you feed the filament into it. Had to go online to get that sorted out.- Once I got it setup and past the auto leveling process, I ran a test print from two of the models that come in the MicroSD card and these printed quickly and accurately.- My first real print, here I had some troubles. I run Linux on my workstation and their support is very Windows or Mac oriented but they do have additional resources to help get you setup on other software. I had no luck with Ultimaker Cura but I did have success slicing something from thingsverse with PrusaSlicer (again, following some resources they have on the product wiki)Now that I have the unit going, I wish I'd gone with something more "connected" but it should be ok to load up something new onto the microsd card (there is an USB-C Port which I hope can be used with an USB-C Drive)Overall, I'm very happy with the purchase and for anyone that wants to get their first unit. I can see myself using this for all sort of things around the home, such as the stove leg thats printing on my review video clipUPDATE 4/4/2024- The USB-C Port is for use with a computer and/or other control systems. I managed to smart up this printer by setting up Octoprint on tiny computer I had laying around, so now I can upload gcode to the MicroSD card from the browser as well and initiate prints and monitor the progress- It appears I need to edit the firmware on the printer so I can take full advantage of this software but in general, it rocks!- I've printed a number of things on my printer so far and once I got it situated in the right place, so long as you prevent anything from interrupting the fillament feed you will have a solid print out.- I've used PLA and PETG filaments on this unit and no issues to report, both print perfectly fine.
