Anycubic Opens Kobra X Deposit Program for Enthusiasts
SHENZHEN, China — Following its impressive showcase at Formnext 2025, Anycubic is excited to announce the opening of its deposit program for the Kobra X. This new entry-level FDM printer is tailored to make multicolor and multi-material 3D printing accessible for more users than ever before.
Innovative Approach to Multicolor 3D Printing
The Kobra X was introduced at the recent Formnext event alongside an array of new products, illustrating Anycubic’s commitment to enhancing advanced desktop manufacturing. Industry experts have noted that this launch represents a significant shift in how entry-level and higher-performance systems are positioned, favoring speed, adaptability, and user-friendliness.
Introducing the Kobra X
The Kobra X, an open-frame design, brings a refreshing take on multicolor 3D printing aimed specifically at those who are embracing this technology for the first time. The printer does not require complex external support systems, simplifying the user experience for beginners.
State-of-the-Art Technology with ACE GEN2 Architecture
At the heart of the Kobra X is Anycubic’s innovative ACE (Anycubic Color Engine) architecture. This second-generation design incorporates four filament channels directly into the printhead. By minimizing the distance that molten filament travels—approximately 30 mm—it allows for efficient color changes. This efficiency is particularly advantageous compared to traditional external filament-swapping systems.
Efficiency of Multicolor Printing
In internal tests using common 4-color models, Anycubic discovered that the ACE GEN2 architecture could cut color-switching time by 30 to 50%. Additionally, this leads to significant reductions in filament waste during purging. Such advancements enable users to achieve faster and more efficient color changes, making multicolor printing a breeze.
Multi-Material Capabilities
The Kobra X isn’t just about color; it also supports multi-material printing. Its adaptive extrusion pressure control allows for seamless switching between various materials, including PLA, TPU, and PVA. This versatility opens up new avenues for designers, enabling them to create complex functional components such as flexible joints or soluble supports without the need for dual-extrusion setups.
User-Friendly Features for First-Time Users
Anycubic recognizes the need for accessibility, and the Kobra X is designed with user-friendliness in mind. Featuring automated bed leveling, motion and flow calibration, AI-assisted print monitoring, and a quiet operation mode, it offers an enjoyable printing experience. These standard features make the setup and maintenance processes straightforward, encouraging newcomers to explore the world of multicolor printing.
