Printer¶
The Anycubic Kobra 2 is a high speed FDM bedslinger style printer.
It comes pre-assembled, you only have to mount a few parts like the 'upstanding' frame onto the base frame.
See Anycubic's support page of the Kobra 2 series to find manuals, firmware, video tutorials and more or use the direct links in the following.
The following pictures show the machine.

Box Content¶
The printer comes partially preassembled and well packed in one big box.
Since I don't have a picture of the Kobra 2 in a box, let me show you the Kobra 2 Pro instead - the content and spare parts are pretty much the same.
Along with the printer come some additional parts, like a sample of PLA, a USB drive, some tools, a spare nozzle and so on. You can see these items in the following picture.
