Anycubic Kobra Neo 3D Printer With Auto-Leveling

The product listings include two similar figures: a forming size of 270 × 200 × 200 mm and a printing size listed as 25 × 22 × 22 cm (250 × 220 × 220 mm). Usable build volume will be close to these dimensions — check the quick start guide or the label on your unit for the exact usable limits for your specific printer.

The 25-point auto-leveling probes multiple points across the bed to measure height differences, builds a compensation mesh, and applies that compensation during printing. This reduces the need for manual paper leveling and improves first-layer adhesion and overall print consistency.

In most cases manual leveling is not required for routine printing because the 25-point auto-level compensates the bed. However, you should run the auto-leveling before your first print and after changing the nozzle or build plate, and you may need to fine-tune the Z-offset for an ideal first layer.

The printer supports PLA, ABS, PETG and TPU. The nozzle max temperature is 260°C and the heated bed can reach 110°C. Typical starting settings: PLA 190–210°C nozzle / 50–70°C bed; PETG 230–250°C / 70–90°C bed; ABS 230–250°C / 90–110°C bed; TPU 200–230°C / 30–60°C bed. Adjust according to your filament brand and print results.

The printer ships with a 0.4 mm replaceable nozzle. To replace or clean it: preheat the nozzle to printing temperature, remove filament, use proper wrenches to unscrew the hot nozzle (be careful — it’s hot), swap or clean the nozzle, then re-tighten and re-level. Always follow safety precautions (insulated gloves or tools) and consult the manual for step-by-step instructions.

The maximum listed speed is 10 cm/s (100 mm/s). For best quality, typical print speeds are lower: PLA 40–60 mm/s, PETG 40–60 mm/s, ABS 30–50 mm/s, TPU 15–30 mm/s. Use higher speeds for fast prototypes and lower speeds for fine-detail prints.

Some units include an optional filament run-out detection system. If present, it will pause the print and prompt you to load new filament when filament runs out. Check your package contents or the product page to confirm whether your specific unit includes this feature.

The Kobra Neo accepts standard G-code files generated by common slicers such as Ultimaker Cura, PrusaSlicer and Anycubic's slicer. Export G-code from your slicer and transfer it to the printer via the provided interface (SD card / USB or direct USB connection depending on your package).

Regular maintenance includes: keeping the bed clean, cleaning or replacing the nozzle as needed, lubricating the Z lead screw periodically, checking and tightening belts and fasteners, and keeping the axes free of debris. Also keep firmware up to date and store filament in a dry place.

The Kobra Neo typically requires minimal assembly (for example attaching the gantry and a few connectors). A quick-start guide is provided — follow the step-by-step instructions for safe and correct assembly. If you prefer, look for manufacturer assembly/installation videos.

The Kobra Neo is a mostly open-frame printer (not a full enclosure). When printing ABS or other materials that emit fumes or require stable ambient temperature, use it in a well-ventilated area or consider adding an enclosure to improve print quality and safety.

Machine dimensions are 490 × 445 × 443 mm (L × W × H). Packing dimensions are 570 × 500 × 220 mm and the shipped weight is about 9.5 kg per the product specification.
