  "account": "Anycubic's Kobra X multi-color 3D printer has received a glowing review, earning a 4.5-star rating from our tests. This printer can print in 15 minutes or less, making it a fast and efficient option for 3D printing enthusiasts. The printer is now available for $300 for Prime members, down from its previous price of $460. The Kobra X offers native four-color printing, allowing users to create multicolored models without swapping filament. Additionally, the system can be expanded to support up to 19 colors using four ACE 2 Pro units. The printer boasts a maximum speed of 600mm/s, a 260mm³ build area, 49-point auto leveling, AI monitoring, dual-band Wi-Fi, and LAN connectivity. Alastair, our expert reviewer, deemed the Kobra X \"exceptionally good\" and noted that it offers exceptional value for its price. The current discount makes this printer an even more attractive option for those looking to experiment with multicolor 3D printing without investing in complex setups. However, for those content with basic single-color prints, a simpler printer might be a better choice. Purchasing the Kobra X currently saves users $160.01, or 35%, compared to its original price of $459.99.",
