Further Sources Of Information¶

In the following you'll find some further sources for certain kind of information mentioned.

Anycubic¶

Here of course the Anycubic website has to be mentioned first.
You can find manuals and firmware at their support page.
They also produced some video tutorials about e.g. changing the printhead or the mainboard. You can find them at their guide videos page.
These information are also available at their wiki page they're now setting up.

General Information¶

There are many great websites and YouTube channels out there and if you're already into this whole 3D printing thing, you probably already have your favourites. So it's hard for me to recommend any.
However, if you're new to this whole thing (or if you've never heard of one of the following), I'd recommend taking a look at the following sources:

• Website of All3DP
• Website of Thomas Sanladerer aka "Tom's 3D" and his YouTube channel
• Website of Stefan Herrmann aka "CNC Kitchen" and his YouTube channel
• Website of Angus Deveson aka "Maker's Muse" and his YouTube channel
• YouTube channel of Alex Kenis
• Website of Michael aka "Teaching Tech" and his YouTube channel
• Website of Andrew Ellis aka "Ellis3DP"
• (more to come)

3D Models¶

In the following I'll list some of the pages where you can search and find free 3D models. I only list those pages where you don't need a registration and where you can get free 3D models.
Some of the following pages offer direct downloads (DD), others are search engines (SE).

• https://www.printables.com/en (DD)
  This is my personal favourite - I'm @Meowsketeer there.
  I also set up a collection with some models specifically for the Kobra 2 Pro. I'll update that collection every now and then and add new models I'll come across and find useful.

G-Code Documentation¶

Even though at this point we're not able to use certain g-code commands to change settings of the firmware, you might want to start getting to know a bit about g-codes by reading the article from All3DP: 3D Printer G-code Commands: Main List & Quick Tutorial if you're new to this.

For a complete reference of G-codes, you might want to have a look at the following 'official' sources.
Of course there are countless sites to find which cover this topic, but the following ones are definitely the one I'd look up first.

RepRap¶

The first one to mention is the RepRap Wiki, where you can find a general explanation about what G-code is, how it works and all the G-commands.
Within the G-commands section and the specific commands you'll also see tables which firmware (Marlin/Klipper/RepRap/Repetier/Smoothie) supports the specific command.

Marlin¶

The stock firmware is based on Marlin v2.0.x. You can find a complete G-code command reference at the belonging Marlin website.

Klipper¶

Besides most of the standard G-code Klipper does support (Attention: it doesn't support all of the standard commands!), Klipper uses so called "extended" G-code commands and scripts/macros for general status and configuration. These extended commands start with a command which may be followed by one or more parameters.
You can find the whole reference at the Klipper documentation page about G-codes.
