Printer¶
The Anycubic Kobra 2 Plus 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.

The following picture shows the printer from the sideview, so you can see the stabilizer rods better.

Box Content¶
The printer comes partially preassembled and well packed in one big box.
Unfortunately I don't have pictures of the box content of the Kobra 2 Plus, so I'll show you the box content of the Kobra 2 Pro instead - besides the obviously different parts of the machine itself, it'll basically be 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.
