Great start with Kobra 3 plus Ace Pro
Very pleased, I have had it for a few days and my initial prints have been great. update 1 week later: I am still impressed by how effortless 3d printing can be with this printer. Some of the advanced features such as vibration compensation, filament extrude control and auto leveling make a huge difference. I cut my teeth on 3D printing in the days of manually leveling the print bed, setting temperature, speed, retraction settings and all long list of setting you had to master to get a good print. This printer lets you concentrate on the creativity of the print instead of the technical details. I also got the ACE Pro combo and love the effortless filament loading and the RFID Sync is awesome. I like the fact that the ACE Pro double as a filament dryer. I had been using an Ankermake M5C, which I like a lot, but this Kobra 3 with ACE Pro is so much better.

I LOVE this printer but already want to upgrade
This is my first 3D printer and I'm glad I went for this model as the Anycubic Kobra Neo has the self leveling. It allows you to do more printing and less fiddling. And there is enough of a learning curve with 3d printing. I'm hooked and already have my next printer picked out. This is still a great printer, I'm glad I got it. It comes with a memory card, the controls are easy, it worked right out of the box, I've tried a few different filaments and they all have printed well. Only learning curve part, after trying to get the Z (height) right, is I didn't realize it purposely spits out filament when you retract it to clear the nozzle. I thought it was going crazy. Also, I had to figure out how to generate gcode and slice things for printing. It only prints gcode but I've been able to convert things into it with either Pursa slicer or Ultimaker Cura. Ultimaker worked easily but the Pursa slicer didn't have this model and I had to guess to enter the dimensions and I think I messed it up. This seems to be either too obscure or new a model. I thought I read the thumb drive has the specs on it but I haven't looked yet. I got this for my kids for Christmas but it's become mine. I'm trying to get my husband into it but it's basically all mine. I also didn't know filament should be kept in airtight containers/bags and away from moisture so I got a set of bags with silica gel packets. More learning curve! It's a fin hobby but I can see it getting expensive fast and I hate the plastic waste tho many filaments say they are biodegradable. It's been fun making things for people and it adds even more to my hidden geek persona, lol.

It's less than okay
Update: From 3 stars to 1 starThe magnetic bed cover broke after just a few uses. I am very disappointed in this purchase.If you want something that is *okay* and will save you money, I guess, go with this. Especially if you plan to print primarily in PLA. I primarily print in ABS and have been using 3D printers for 2 years going on 3. This printer is tricky to work with for ABS. Anycubic will tell you all these awesome filaments their machines work with but leave out how difficult it is for some of them to print it. If you're going to or want to print a whole lot of ABS, go with the i3 MEGA S instead. This printer is printing small test prints pretty well, but once you start putting bigger files that have more curves to them, you run into big problems.BAD INSTRUCTIONS! - While it is extremely easy to set up in less than 30 minutes, the instructions are incomplete to where to put a couple of the wires.JUNK WIRES! - Just putting the axis at home made two of the wires pop off. Consider upgrading pieces or use a strong glue to hold them in place if you're brave.Also, the box it came in? Had one short measly piece of tape across the top and my package was delivered opened because the rain got under the tape and there wasn't enough tape to really stick down to the cardboard to begin with.There was already blue PLA in my nozzle, I am sure it was just to test the machine and make sure it runs... however, it would have been smart to clean it out before sending to a customer. We don't all like PLA.The good: the print resume feature, the easy leveling, slightly bigger build surface than other machines in it's price range, you can change nozzle temp while it's heating up(this is especially helpful if it won't keep a consistent temperature, you can actually slice your file to be a higher temp then change the temp on the printer when it gets to the one you want, this way you aren't waiting more than 5 min for it to heat up and be ready.)The bad: the menu knob(would rather the touch screen, the knob isn't always feasible when you need to make quick selections), the very simple-minded menu, flimsy bowden tube, not doing well with ABS, noisy, not printing files from certain slicers, packed terribly, some prints that print immaculately on other Anycubic printers look like a hot mess on this one, incomplete instructions, bad/loose/cheap wires.If you are buying this to use for a business and are a beginner, I will tell you right now, it's not as easy as other reviewers have made it seem. I am only one filament type in. Maybe the printer doesn't like this one? I will update if anything starts to get better.... looking like a possible return already, sadly. Probably going to get an Ender3 or Prusa Printer next. GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF YOU WHO FELL FOR THE REVIEWS LIKE I DID! I don't know what kind of magic the people in the reviews are working but it must be good! lol
