AnyCubic Kobra 3 Max Combo Full Review
Wanted to do a full review of the Kobra 3 max so others can decide if it is the printer for them. I paid full price for this with my own money, so it should be as unbiased as it gets.

Notes on the printer:
Ace makes it great to keep printing and auto switch over. needed on such a large printer.
Ace cannot load TPU, could fool it.
Ace has RFID and is easy to sync as well as change ID on non RFID materials
Camera is easy to mount but the location is terrible. - I'll be making a new bracket.
Camera took a few prints to set up and work. needs more lighting for complete darkness.
Camera needs thumb drive in order to do timelapse.
sometimes the camera doesn't want to connect the first time on the app, back out then wait until you see the camera light Icon and try again.
Firmware needed to be updated. afterward. it took a few restarts for it to work normal again.
Filament spit bucket is needed to catch filament after purges.
Nozzle is only 0.4mm but quick release is EASY! I bought some carbide drills and will be drilling mine out to 0.6mm and 0.8mm and will be posting profiles.
The bed is huge and sticks well with full size prints. You can print fast for large low items.
For delicate tall items you will need to slow the bed down, specifically the acceleration.
Haven't figured out a good method yet for running single filament from side reel holder into Ace 4 tube feeder. People online have made a 8 tube feeder. could try that.
The entire printer uses a lot of power! And with the Ace drying it may limit one printer per circuit.
With large prints expect it to take days! but it opens up so many options.
I'll make the modifications listed and post a follow up video with file links.
