What reviewers found
Anycubic Kobra 3 V2 Combo
- Tom's Hardware: A multi color PLA dino print took about 8 h 40 min at an average 130 mm/s with about 100 g of waste. A PETG print took 2 h 4 min with light stringing. TPU printed cleanly at an average 50 mm/s. Source
- Notebookcheck: Good flow up to about 25 mm3/s. 300 mm/s was realistic; a speed Benchy took about 12 minutes with flaws. 55 to 60 dB(A) while printing and about 180 W on PLA. Multi color failed out of the box due to a purge design flaw. Source
Anycubic Photon Mono M7 Pro
- TechRadar (4.5/5): Scored 4.5 out of 5. High speed resin printed at 170 mm/h versus 130 mm/h on the previous model, and the clean function cleared about 80% of failures. Needed re leveling after about 4 kg of resin; auto refill tapered off below half a bottle. Source
- Basic Tutorials (91/100): Scored 91 with a Gold award. A print that takes about half a day on an FDM printer finished in under an hour with high speed resin, and it handled an 80 degree overhang. Supports sometimes failed to stick on flat areas and the touchscreen and software had flaws. Source
