Would anyone recommend the Kobra 3 Max

I have had little to no issues with the kobra 3 max combo. The issues I had with the max 3 combo are after a firmware update the printhead dragged and scrapped across the build plate. I have had no issues since then. My prints have been great I have had little to no issues with the kobra 3 max combo. I have the kobra 3 combo as well. The issues I had with the max 3 combo are after a firmware update the printhead dragged and scrapped across the build plate. A small scratch but it still happened. Anycubic sent me a new printhead unit complete with hot end and nozzle and a new build plate. I also had an issue with the ace unit getting stuck during color changes at first. I was able to fix this easily by swapping units between my printers and I also clean and reseated the flushing chamber tubes under the unit. I have had no issues since then. My prints have been great

Who has good or bad thoughts on the Anycubic Kobra 3 Max?

My K3M is a lemon out of the box and has yet to produce multicolor anything since I've owned it. When it goes to cut the filament, it clicks real loud twice and then is later shifted after that. Single color was great till I turned it on the other day and the Y axis motors stopped all of a sudden out of the blue. This will be the 6th thing I've replaced on this machine including X-axis motor and motherboard. I would look at a sovol or something else imo unless you just get lucky and get a good one.

Is the Anycubic Cobra Max3 Combo a capable 3D Printer for Farm Use?

The Anycubic Kobra 3 Max is a large-format 3D printer well-suited for farm use, offering excellent print quality for PLA and ASA, especially for large items. However, it requires custom profile tuning and has a large footprint with its multi-material system.

Who has good or bad thoughts on the Anycubic Kobra 3 Max?

Stay away! It's anything but high quality. I've had mine over 6 months and replaced a lot of parts because of issues including the entire bed. Stay away! Do a search on issues and you'll see tons. Not sure this large of a printer should be a bed slinger. It's anything but high quality. I've had mine over 6 months and replaced a lot of parts because of issues including the entire bed (and build plate). There have been extrusion issues, bed heating issues, leveling issues etc. Even after replacing so many parts, it's hard to get good prints. I don't know what to recommend if you're running a farm other than a prusa or a gigastorm for a large printer. MAYBE an S1 Max but it's definitely not tried and trusted yet. I thought I needed a large printer but I've gone to splitting the prints in the slicer and joining them together afterwards. My Kobra 3 v2 is however running fine but I don't use it that much. My bambu p1s is great and the Centauri carbon is pretty good.
