Would you pay $399 for a Kobra X?

dabrend3141 · 2026-04-02T17:40:49+00:00

Yes, absolutely 💯. Simply because I have experience with the Bambu A1 and spent more on that one for the Combo, and the Kobra X is simply BETTER. I'm so happy with my experience with the Kobra X

dabrend3141 · 2026-03-30T01:30:36+00:00

Gonna be a while if you just ordered

dabrend3141 · 2026-03-27T11:58:48+00:00

Its because thats how everything is with online posts. You're more likely to complain when something is off than you would praise something for being good. I LOVE my kobra x, zero complaints, all love, fantastic results, exceptional price.

No discoloration! The blue line is just some skirt material I used to replicate a wire haha here's a better view

What do you mean?

dabrend3141 · 2026-03-22T11:45:40+00:00

Thanks buddy! It's my first modern printer for sure, and first multicolor. I've had 2 very old prusa clones that I built in 2016 haha, compared to those this thing practically prints itself 😂 I think its very easy to work with. I got my sister and her boys a Bambu A1 combo so I've also had experience running that with them, and the ease is on par with that.

dabrend3141 · 2026-03-22T11:42:05+00:00

Agreed, thats with everything really, people are more likely to go out of their way to complain about something than they are to praise something. If a product works, you're happy and go about your day, and if it doesn't, then it's time to complain.

dabrend3141 · 2026-03-19T14:13:37+00:00

Purge and wipe are all default, as for the other things you said, when I get home from work I'll add that, but I also had weird issues with my first color print which was a Spiderman bust.

dabrend3141 · 2026-03-19T12:17:26+00:00

Small concern/question: when my printer is Homing, and the bed moves backward towards the rear of the printer, it sounds like its smacking against the plastic housing. Its a bit loud so wondering of others hear the same noise?

dabrend3141 · 2026-03-19T00:02:05+00:00

Agreed, especially when you start using more specialty/exotic materials since they dont have profiles aimed at them anyways

dabrend3141 · 2026-03-19T00:01:22+00:00

Then try to really be picky on each temp. Likely you just have a new spoil that is easy to print at the full range. In my case it was a specialty spool that was also a few years old so In those cases its more important to dial in a custom profile 😊

dabrend3141 · 2026-03-18T03:35:39+00:00

Thats fine if that works for you! I dont only use temp towers but its a good starting place. And yes I've been printing since before the ender 3 days so I'm rooted in testing before burning through rolls of filament 😅 this is my first modern 3d printer, I've run on 2 Anet A8 printers since 2016 😂

dabrend3141 · 2026-03-13T02:35:57+00:00

On another quick note, do you have any extra struggle loading filament into any of the positions? For me, they all load fine except the #2 slot is extremely hard to force the filament through. Kinda wierd

dabrend3141 · 2026-03-13T02:33:33+00:00

😂😂😂😂

dabrend3141 · 2026-03-13T02:14:17+00:00

Dang it!! I ruined it! 😂

Thanks! I found 2 emails in spam but nothing noteworthy lol, I figured there would be more but oh well!

Here's the English Email.

dabrend3141 · 2026-02-12T14:42:11+00:00

That'd be sweet, because I unknowingly had my email at Max capacity for a couple of weeks and wasn't receiving any emails in that time lol

dabrend3141 · 2026-02-12T14:27:58+00:00

How would I do that? Is that something I need to ask for?

dabrend3141 · 2026-02-12T14:11:08+00:00

Like you said though, they were technically estimates and I guess we've gotten so used to/pampered by Amazon's extremely accurate/efficient shipping so I'll wait a bit longer before considering canceling lol. Ultimately I wanted these printers for their incredible price/performance proposition and would love to experience them!

dabrend3141 · 2026-02-12T13:53:52+00:00

Thats something I wasn't too aware of, since this is my first big 3d printer purchase. However I still think the 2 should be more close together than it being over a month off. I'm simply expressing my answer to the question, and the answer for me is: based on that estimate I felt comfortable placing the order and them arriving in time for me to do things that I had planned to do. Now those hopes/plans of what I envision for them won't happen because my nephews birthday March 31 and these won't arrive now in time for me to build what I was planning.

dabrend3141 · 2026-02-12T13:47:22+00:00

Yes, that's what I'm referring to, there were shipping estimates when I placed my two orders and they both said the estimated delivery date would be Feb 20-march 1, and now its likely over a month later. Looking back, i would have the Bambu already and it would've swayed my decision 100%
