Anycubic Opens Deposits for Kobra X, Following Formnext Debut of Its Next-Generation Entry-Level Multicolor FDM Printer

SHENZHEN, China, Dec. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Following its public debut at Formnext 2025, Anycubic today announced the opening of the deposit program for Kobra X, a new entry-level FDM 3D printer designed to make multi-color and multi-material printing more accessible to a broader range of users.

Unveiled alongside the company’s latest product lineup in Frankfurt, Kobra X reflects Anycubic’s continued focus on simplifying advanced desktop manufacturing workflows. As noted by 3D Printing Industry during Formnext, the company’s recent launches signal a clearer separation between entry-level and higher-performance systems, while placing greater emphasis on speed, material adaptability, and ease of use.

Kobra X positions itself within this strategy as an open-frame, single-nozzle multicolor printer aimed at users entering multi-color printing for the first time, without requiring external color support devices or complex system integration.

A New Standard for Entry-Level Multicolor: ACE GEN2 Architecture

At the core of Kobra X is Anycubic’s second-generation ACE (Anycubic Color Engine) architecture, which integrates four filament channels directly into the printhead and shortens the molten filament transition path to approximately 30 mm. Compared with external filament-swapping systems that rely on long retraction distances, this design allows color changes to occur over a much shorter travel range, improving efficiency during multicolor prints with frequent transitions.

In controlled internal tests using common 4-color models, Anycubic observed that ACE GEN2 can reduce color-switching time by approximately 30–50%, while lowering filament purge waste by a similar margin. Although results vary depending on model geometry, material combinations, and transition frequency, the shorter molten filament path generally enables faster, more material-efficient color changes in everyday multicolor printing scenarios, while preserving a single-nozzle workflow familiar to entry-level users.

Practical Multi-Material Capability: From PLA to TPU and PVA

Beyond color, Kobra X is designed to support multi-material printing within the same job. Through adaptive extrusion pressure control, the system can switch between materials with different mechanical properties, including combinations such as PLA with TPU (68D) or PLA with PVA.

This capability allows users to explore functional designs—such as flexible joints, soft-touch components, or soluble supports—without moving to dual-extrusion systems or enclosed industrial platforms. By keeping material switching within a single-nozzle architecture, Kobra X maintains a relatively straightforward setup while extending the range of applications available to entry-level users.

Kobra X is intended to be approachable for first-time multicolor users, while incorporating the standard hardware and firmware features expected from modern desktop FDM printers. These include automated bed leveling, motion and flow calibration, AI-assisted print monitoring, quiet operation modes, and a streamlined assembly and maintenance workflow.

Deposit Program Now Open

As of December 26, Anycubic has opened the deposit program for Kobra X via its official store. Customers can place a US$10 deposit, which will be applied as a US$30 discount toward the final purchase price at checkout.

At a critical moment during the match, the Team Infinix faced its most heart-stopping challenge: Yakudza and his teammate were ambushed by three enemies while driving. Though his teammate was quickly eliminated, Yakudza refused to give up. He was left alone on the battlefield, facing the impossible odds of one against three.

With composure and mastery over the GT 30 Pro, Yakudza pulled off an astonishing counter-attack. He engaged the three enemies in a fierce guerrilla fight, utilizing every piece of cover and the phone’s millisecond-level response speed to execute precise movements and shots. Ultimately, Yakudza successfully eliminated all his opponents, single-handedly reversing a sure defeat and securing the vital “Chicken Dinner” opportunity for the team.

The team was ecstatic and immensely surprised by Yakudza’s heroic performance and the reliability of the GT 30 Pro. The moment the Team Infinix name flashed on the screen symbolized not just a victory empowered by technology, but the profound enhancement of cross-border camaraderie in competitive sports.

GT 30 Pro, The Ultimate Aid: Yakudza’s Clutch Play Changes the Tide

Yakudza shared his deep impressions of the Infinix GT 30 Pro’s performance after the match. As a veteran user of the GT 30 Pro, he declared that the device’s extreme fluidity and stable, non-dropping frame rates were his secret weapon for the spectacular comeback.

“In those high-intensity final circles, if your phone overheats or lags, you’re finished. But my GT 30 Pro was like a reliable comrade,” Yakudza expressed excitedly. “Coupled with its cooling system, it truly maintained a steady frame rate throughout, allowing me to focus entirely on tactical execution instead of worrying about my equipment failing me.”

The GT 30 Pro’s ability to stay cool under pressure stems from Infinix’s professional esports hardware integration. It is powered by the high-performance MediaTek Dimensity 8350 Ultimate chip, providing surging power. Even more critical is the comprehensive “Cooling System” created by Infinix: the 3D Vapour Cloud Chamber serves as its internal core, complemented externally by the innovative MagCharge Cooler and a compatible MagCase. Yakudza noted that upon attaching the magnetic fan, cooling efficiency is enhanced, and the exclusive Draco Mode automatically activates, ensuring high-efficiency cooling even during wireless charging.
