1 / 7Anycubic Kobra X Combo 3D Printer, Native 7-Colour Printing
The Anycubic Kobra X Combo pairs a 3D printer with an ACE 2 Pro system for claimed native seven-colour printing. The listing says the palette can expand to 19 colours with four ACE 2 Pro units, while also claiming automatic bed levelling, an AI camera and filament drying. Customer feedback reports positive experiences with print quality and setup, but mixed views on reliability, speed and filament handling.
At a glance
- The included ACE 2 Pro is claimed to enable native seven-colour printing out of the box.
- The listing describes expansion to up to 19 colours when using four ACE 2 Pro units. That setup is additional to the stated included unit.
- ACE GEN 2 is claimed to reduce filament purge waste by 81.25% and make colour switching twice as fast. These are manufacturer claims, not independent measurements.
- ACE 2 Pro features claimed filament drying up to 65°C, real-time humidity control and automatic filament detection. The listing recommends 68D for TPU.
- LeviQ 3.0 auto-levelling and a built-in AI camera are listed. The advertised 100% print success rate is not a guarantee.
Pros and cons
Pros
- The claimed seven-colour setup includes an ACE 2 Pro, reducing the need to source that system separately for multicolour printing.
- Drying and humidity-control features are described as part of the ACE 2 Pro, offering relevant filament-management functions in the same system.
- The listing includes automatic bed levelling and an AI camera, features aimed at reducing manual setup and monitoring.

What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
Listing details are inconsistent about the printer's dimensions: one entry gives 56D x 33W x 54H centimetres, while another gives 56 x 33 x 54 cm; 13.2 kg. The exact dimensions are therefore unclear, and the separate weight field lists 13.2 Kilograms. The title and feature copy claim seven-colour printing and expansion to 19 colours with four ACE 2 Pro units, but do not specify print volume or printing speed. Filament shown in images is not included, although test filament is stated to be supplied. The listing's claims about 100% print success and faster printing are not guarantees or independently verified results. It recommends 68D for TPU.
Who is it for?
A good fit for
- Buyers who want to try multicolour filament printing with an ACE 2 Pro system described as included.
- Home or hobby users who value the listed auto-levelling, camera monitoring and filament-drying features.
- Users prepared to check print-speed and reliability feedback against their own project requirements.
Less suited to
- Buyers who need confirmed build volume or exact dimensions before choosing a printer.
- Those who require a guaranteed print-success rate or independently established speed and reliability.
- Anyone expecting the pictured filament spools to be included. The listing says image filament is sold separately, though test filament is provided.

Customer feedback reports high-quality results and easy setup, while experiences with reliability and print speed are mixed. Some feedback describes flawless operation, while other reports mention hardware failures after a couple of months. Filament handling is also mixed, including reports of filament repeatedly moving in and out of the tubes. For buyers drawn to the advertised multicolour system, the setup and print-quality reports are encouraging, but feedback does not establish consistent reliability or speed.
Positive themes
- Customers report high-quality prints and easy setup.
Mixed feedback
- Feedback on reliability includes both reports of flawless results and reports of hardware failures after a couple of months.
- Customers differ on print speed, with some finding it fast and others reporting slower printing.
- Filament handling feedback includes reports of filament repeatedly being pulled in and out of the tubes.
Frequently asked questions
How many colours can the Kobra X Combo print?
The title and feature listing claim native seven-colour printing with the included ACE 2 Pro. Up to 19 colours is stated only when using four ACE 2 Pro units.
Is filament included?
The listing says filament shown in product images is not included and must be purchased separately. It also states that test filament is provided in the package.
Does the printer guarantee successful prints?
No. The listing advertises a 100% success rate, but that is a manufacturer claim rather than a guarantee. Customer feedback reports mixed experiences with reliability and print speed.
What are the printer's dimensions?
The listing provides two inconsistent dimension entries, so the exact dimensions are unclear. Check the selected listing details if precise clearance is important.
