Anycubic opens deposit program for Kobra X entry-level multicolour printer

Anycubic launched a deposit program for the Kobra X on January 5, positioning the machine as an approachable path to multicolour and multimaterial 3D printing without the complexity of multi-nozzle systems. The deposit program runs through mid-January and accepts a $10 deposit that converts into a discount voucher for early-bird pricing. Customers can consult Anycubic’s store for full deposit terms, pricing tiers and estimated shipping windows.

At the heart of the Kobra X is the ACE GEN2, the Anycubic Colour Engine second generation. The system integrates four filament channels directly into the printhead, shrinking the molten filament transition path to about 30 mm. Anycubic says that shortening the transition path delivers faster colour changes and lower purge waste compared with long-retraction external systems, a practical benefit for users working on pieces that demand multiple colour swaps in a single print.

Anycubic is marketing the Kobra X not only for multicolour output but also for multimaterial combinations such as PLA plus TPU and PLA plus PVA. The printer includes adaptive extrusion pressure control intended to manage different material rheologies within the single-nozzle workflow, addressing common challenges when mixing flexible and rigid filaments. Typical desktop conveniences are included: automated bed levelling, motion and flow calibration, AI-assisted print monitoring, quiet operation, and a focus on streamlined assembly and maintenance.

For community members eager to experiment with multicolour and multimaterial techniques, the Kobra X lowers the entry cost and setup complexity compared with multi-nozzle or AMS-style enclosed systems. Verify compatibility if your workflow depends on ultra-fine nozzles or specific enclosed printer features, since single-nozzle multicolour solutions trade some capabilities for simplicity and reduced waste.

The deposit program is a practical way to secure early-bird pricing and gauge delivery timelines without committing full payment. Verify Anycubic’s full deposit and shipping details on the company’s storefront before reserving. Expect the Kobra X to be of particular interest to makers who want a compact, lower-cost route into multi-filament projects and who value reduced purge waste and faster colour transitions over the absolute maximum flexibility of multi-nozzle rigs.
