Anycubic Kobra 4 Combo 3D printer hits an all-time low price — and it's even cheaper than it is at Amazon

One of our top-rated 3D printer makers drops the cost on native 4-color printing via the ACE 2 Pro to its lowest ever price.

Anycubic Kobra 4 Combo 3D printer hits an all-time low price — and it's even cheaper than it is at Amazon

The Anycubic Kobra 4 Combo 3D printer is currently available at an all-time low price, cheaper than its current Amazon listing. This open-enclosure multi-color printer comes with a bundled ACE 2 Pro filament system, enabling native four-color printing right out of the box. At $380 (down from $500), the Kobra 4 Combo is significantly cheaper than the Amazon listing at $400 in the US and £370 in the UK.

This 260mm x 260mm x 260mm build volume printer boasts a quick-swap hardened steel nozzle, automatic bed leveling, and a 720p onboard camera with AI print monitoring. The printer is also praised for its quiet operation, simple filament loading, and thorough auto bed leveling process. Despite a larger footprint than Anycubic's Kobra X and slow filament swaps, the Anycubic Kobra 4 Combo is recommended for those new to 3D printing who want multicolor output, quiet operation, and built-in filament drying for moisture-sensitive materials like PETG.
