Kobra 3 Z Axis Fix (English)
The Anycubic Kobra 3 is an amazing 3D printer but has an elementary, but easy-to-solve design flaw:
The stepper motor of the Z-axis bears the weight of the gantry, but the stepper motor is not designed for any axial load. A thrust bearing is required to relieve the stepper motor of the axial load.
In this video, I show you exactly how I install a thrust bearing to support the axial load in the Kobra 3.
Here are all the specifications of the thrust bearing:

The order in which the thrust bearings are mounted:
Top rod: 5.2 mm
Bearing
Bottom rod: 5 mm
Top motor: 5 mm
Bearing
Bottom motor: 5.2 mm
So the outer discs of the entire construction are the 5.2 mm ones.
