3D printer manufacturer Anycubic has unveiled the new Kobra 3 Combo. The focus is on an upgrade of the popular Kobra 3 with special hardware for multi-material printing.
The Anycubic Color Engine Pro (ACE Pro) is the central element of the new device. It enables parallel printing with up to 8 filament colors using two synchronized extruder boxes. RFID filament detection, integrated active drying and anti-locking protection are designed to ensure reliability. When changing colors, the ACE Pro no longer rolls back the filaments, but uses parallel-connected delivery lines. According to Anycubic, this minimizes material exchange times and waste.
Thanks to its cooperation with Pantone, Anycubic is offering certified 3D printing colors such as “Peach Fuzz”, “Interstellar Violet” etc. for the first time. The Kobra 3 has also been significantly accelerated: Up to 600 mm/min print speed for single material printing is possible. Acceleration sensors and active vibration compensation ensure high surface quality.
The Anycubic app, an updated slicer program and the new Makeronline community platform round off the multi-material printing system. Remote control, live monitoring and a network connection for slicing are provided. Users can share models and compete in competitions on Makeronline.
The 3D printer will soon be available in the official store.
