KOBRA X UNBOXING, ASSYMBLY, FIRST IMPRESSIONS: • Anycubic Kobra X - Multicolor Hardware Unc... In this test, I compare the Kobra X multicolor system directly against the Anycubic Kobra 3 V2, looking at the things that matter most in real use: color change process, filament waste, change time, and overall printing behavior. You’ll see: • Side-by-side multicolor printing behavior • Filament waste (“poop”) output and efficiency differences • Color change timing and impact on total print time • Observations on the new cam-based toolhead vs the Kobra 3 V2 system • Practical differences that affect daily printing, not marketing claims This is not an unboxing or a spec rundown. The goal is to show how these two Anycubic multicolor systems behave in real prints, and where each one makes sense depending on your priorities. A Bambu Lab comparison video is coming soon once I finish running the same tests under identical conditions. I want the comparison to be fair, consistent, and based on real prints—not assumptions. If you’re deciding between the Kobra X, Kobra 3 V2, or waiting to see how it stacks up against Bambu Lab, this video is meant to give you clear, grounded information to help you choose.
