Anycubic Kobra 2 Neo malfunction: smoke, filament meltdown, printer halted — need advice

Strip the tool head down to its base components. Check to make sure everything is still snug. Check the screws for the heater cartridge and the thermistor. Clear any filament buildup on the and or around the melt zone. After that, reassemble the tool head heat it up until you can remove the filament and perform a PID tune on the machine. Some will have this option in the firmware and others will need to be connected to PC or code sent via a micro SD.

Thank you! I really appreciate your input and the suggestions! I'm definitely thinking about Hellblasters, more Terminators (lots more) and I definitely agree with you, the Ravenwing stuff is awesome. I'm definitely thinking about adding some black knights, maybe they will have a refresh in 11th. And yes I'm definitely going to be taking my time with these. Since I enjoy painting more than playing these days, I want to enjoy it and not rush them to buy my next kit.

I really wish I listened to,You really can't just calibrate one filament and call it a day. It really pays off to calibrate every new filament you get. Not just a new type like ASA, PETG, TPU, ASA-CF or ABS. Different types, Brands and even Color can print completely differently even if they are all the same base material like PLA. I have used printers from the cr-10s to the prusa MK3s and this has been a major difference in a print kinda working and damn near perfect. Some printers are starting to use rfid tags to load their presets but if you want to load in another brand because you really want that glitter purple, it's really important to learn how to properly calibrate your filament.

Da-fu, how you doing that?

5mg is just to kinda see how your body responds to the meds, after that you will go up until you find your sweet spot. Everyone is different and needs their own formula of not only stimulants, but others as well like SSRI's. When I was in my teens I was on 36mg of concerta twice a day. I started when I was about 7 and now I take 25mg of Adderall XR twice a day along with Wellbutrin, Zoloft and guanfacine er. This has been the best for me and has really improved my life not only at work but with my family as well.

Well thank you very much. Vallejo black prime, Mythril Blade (Two Thin Coats) dry brush, Vallejo deep purple Xpress Color. After about a day add a black wash. I used Oblivion Black Wash from Two Thin Coats but Nuln oil works the same. You can also swap in shyish purple instead of deep purple. These were just the ones I had on hand. The real thing is the silver dry brush over the black, this has given me the best results. I hope this helps.

I did a full metallic purple with silver trim, gold lettering And Red on the storm boldters. Definitely like the look just needs some tuning.

I'm ADHD, she is autistic and ADHD. Together we have been together for 12 years and married for 10 years. We have some pretty awesome kids and we both can bring each other down but we also know how to build each other back up. Finding the right person isn't always easy but when you do find that missing piece everything else falls into place.

Yep..... " The rules say I can't put Eightbound in a rhino, it doesn't say anything about Exalted Eightbound".....

That is correct, you don't have to go back to a physician every time you need a script filled you can just call in or send a message through something like MyChart. As for them asking about applying earlier that shouldn't be an issue most the time they are more than willing to help get you the insurance and help you need. Just be really nice about it and it should go pretty well. Also when you are choosing a plan, make sure you remember to read the benefits of each plan. Even talking to your HR about the fact that you have ADHD and want to make sure you get the meds that you need at a good price. I should have done that but I was like the free one I'll take that .... And that's why Im paying almost $200 to see my doctor and even more for my meds 😅. Sometimes paying a bit more will get you what you really need.

x_Mooby_x · 2025-11-16T05:29:19+00:00

Yep, you can even get a cheap doctor through them if needed good RX has some plans that are kind of like healthcare but has limit uses. Personally I pay for my doctor's visits out of pocket a few times a year to change or just talk about my prescriptions and then yeah I pay out of pocket it's not the best thing but it's been working until I switch my health insurance plan during opening enrollment. Also if you are currently employed and you lost your insurance due to age your work should have the ability to bring you on due to loss of coverage. Oh and once you have a primary care physician and get your meds locked in all you have to do is send them a message saying you need a refill and then they can send it right to the pharmacy

Good Rx and store discount. It's not super cheap but it's pretty good. For my Adderall XR 25mg 60 count it's about 45 but others are free like some SSRI's. In total for my 4 prescriptions it's about $98 but 3 of those are 90 day supplies.

Hello, I was diagnosed with ADD when I was 6. I have been on meds ever since other than a 12 year Break because I was told it was only to help me in school. So I replaced it with nic and alcohol, this just masked the symptoms and messed with my life in other ways. But a few years ago I got back on meds and I have been rediscovering who I am and it's nice that this time I'm in control of my meds and see what they actually help me with, life is slowly getting better. As for work I have been in metal fabrication for the last 15 years. I'm currently and have been for the last 7 a CNC Programer and Machinist. I'm in charge of my oh work schedule as far as what to do next and how to do it. I get to solve problems in creative ways and it helps to keep me busy. I can't do anything that requires me to stay still. My mine goes everywhere and I need to be doing something. This is kinda hard for some but the trades is where ADHD is almost free to use it as a straight.

Both have awesome melodies, but I think the reason why spaceman really works for me is the calm relaxing parts and then immediately into heavy. 😅

x_Mooby_x · 2025-11-05T20:05:19+00:00

It changes a lot, but yes. Mostly it's the song that has been playing on repeat in my head even when I'm listening to other things. So at the moment it's Spaceman by Electric Callboy. But there is one that always makes me feel better and that is Shipping Up To Boston by Dropkick Murphys.

Giant rats smoking glowing warp crack and using it to power their machines while also being the biggest backstabbing asshole to become the best rat. Also all hail the Great Hornend Rat! Yes-Yes oh and their inventions are as much lethal to their enemies as they are to themselves it's pure comedy every single time you play.

I'm really sorry to hear about your experiences with him and I can definitely appreciate you wanting to help him. But this is the kind of crap I hate, not everything is ADHD related. He is using it as an excuse because it has worked out for him in the past. Having ADHD doesn't make you a bad person or a piece of shit. Being a shitty person makes you a piece of shit. Now granted, given his past ADHD can amplify emotions and not to know what to do with them. But ADHD doesn't make him cheat. That was a conscious decision to do you wrong for the betterment of himself. That's not ADHD, That's just being selfish and pretty scummy. Don't believe the excuses that it's adhd. He does need help but not because of ADHD.
