Description
The Anycubic Kobra Go is a budget FDM DIY-kit printer released in 2022 as the most affordable model in the Kobra line. It ships as a self-assembly kit and targets beginners who want a low price and out-of-the-box automatic bed leveling.
The build volume is 220×220×250 mm, with print speeds up to 100 mm/s (typically around 60 mm/s). The hotend reaches 260 °C, and the heated bed with a double-sided PEI spring-steel sheet goes up to 110 °C, covering PLA, PETG, TPU and ABS. A Bowden extruder keeps the print head light, and the kinematics are a classic cartesian design with a moving bed and a single threaded Z rod. Control is via a 2.4-inch monochrome display with a rotary knob; there is no Wi-Fi or camera.
Pros
- Low price with 25-point LeviQ auto leveling — rare in this budget segment
- Good out-of-the-box print quality for a budget printer, with reviewers rating it close to mid-tier machines
- Double-sided PEI spring-steel bed: prints pop off easily by flexing the sheet
- Power-loss recovery and an option to add a filament run-out sensor
- X/Y belt tensioners with thumb knobs — adjust belt tension without tools
- Modular assembly helps beginners learn how the printer works
Cons
- Requires full self-assembly — it takes time and beginners may make mistakes
- The Bowden extruder handles flexible TPU worse than a direct drive
- Modest 100 mm/s top speed and a monochrome knob display instead of a touchscreen
- The filament run-out sensor is optional, and there is no Wi-Fi or network control
The Kobra Go suits anyone taking their first steps in 3D printing who wants an inexpensive printer with auto leveling: printing toys, figurines, simple functional parts and prototypes in PLA and PETG. It is also a decent choice for those interested in building a printer themselves.
Bottom line: an affordable entry-level DIY printer with auto leveling and decent print quality; it is discontinued and trails newer Kobra models in speed and features.
