Kobra X

Overview

The Kobra X is a 260 x 260 x 260 mm open-frame bedslinger with a direct-drive extruder, positioned as a step up from Anycubic's entry-level machines. It uses LeviQ 3.0 automatic bed leveling (a 49-point mesh), a 0.4mm hardened-steel nozzle reaching 300°C, and a 100°C heated bed — specs that put it solidly in the budget-to-midrange bracket. Connectivity is a highlight for the price, with onboard Wi-Fi, a companion Anycubic app, cloud features, and a built-in 720p camera for remote monitoring and timelapses, alongside filament run-out and tangle detection with auto-resume. Reviewers have compared its workflow to Bambu Lab's simpler machines, right down to a side-mounted 3.5" touchscreen (which doesn't swivel — a deliberate cost trade-off according to one hands-on review). The base Kobra X ships as a single-color printer; multicolor printing requires adding Anycubic's ACE Pro 2 unit separately (it's bundled in the Kobra X Combo instead). It suits hobbyists and first-time upgraders who want app-based convenience and solid print quality without paying for an enclosure or multicolor hardware they may not need yet.
