Questions

What can I print on the Anycubic Kobra X?

Its build size is 260 × 260 × 260 mm, which prints 115 of our 117 customisable 3D templates in one piece at their default size. Most of the rest can be made smaller in the designer, or are printed in parts.

Is the Anycubic Kobra X enclosed?

No, it’s an open frame. That’s fine for PLA and PETG, which is most of what people print; for ABS and ASA you want an enclosed printer.
