Anycubic Kobra X
Nadin's own experience I did not expect much: a cheap, open bed slinger, how good can it be? I was proven wrong. So far all prints have been flawless, without errors or quirks, and it is easy to use. The print quality is very precise, even fidget cubes with internal holders work without problems. The filament paths are short and straight. Even my father, who was just as sceptical, was delighted with the results. My personal recommendation: for me, the Kobra X is at the top for value for money.
Open bed slinger with a built-in four-colour system. One of the cheapest ways to multi-colour printing without having to buy extra accessories.
Ideal for: Beginners who want to print in multiple colours from the start
