This thing just released sometime last week to little or zero fanfare and honestly looks like a Bambu killer to me. It’s priced under anything that Bambu offers in the class with way better specs.

    After having had an Anycubic printer, I would be extremely hesitant to buy one based on the quality of the one I have.

      Which one? I have an i3 mega s (I think that’s the name) and it’s pretty basic and slow, but built relatively well. After however many hours of printing some of the bearings have failed, but they were easy and cheap to replace.

        Kobra neo, a cheap printer to begin with. The y axis rail is extruded aluminum. Where they drilled the holes in the middle to attach it to the frame it pushed the aluminum out by a few thousands. Adjusting the carriage is either really tight in the middle of the rail or loose on the ends. The bed was also bent when I got it (common issue). I bent it back and added bed adjusters because otherwise the auto need leveling just couldn’t compensate. It broke a y belt (common issue). It still has issues printing. I cannot get it to print petg at all even though the same roll of filament will work fine on another printer. All in all I wish I never bought the thing due to their poor quality control. It still prints PLA good enough so I keep it around because I wouldn’t get anything if I try to sell it.
