About Anycubic Kobra 3D-printer

Anycubic Kobra is een compacte 3D-printer, geïnspireerd op het modulaire ontwerp van vuurwapens en gevechtsvliegtuigen. De behuizing is zwart, met donkerblauwe en rode details. Een automatische nivelleerfunctie plaatst het platform in horizontale positie zonder handmatige instelling, wat de bediening vereenvoudigt. Het printplatform combineert een PEI-coating, veerstaal en een zachtmagnetische laag, waardoor de plaat direct hecht zodra deze wordt neergelegd, en geprinte modellen worden verwijderd door de plaat te buigen. Een stille 32-bit moederbord en een verstelbare riemspanner verminderen het geluid tijdens het printen.
