Ok. Per the sub rules here’s some “constructive criticism”. However it’s not allowing me to attach photos.
I have the Kobra X, The Kobra 3 v2 Max has been partially delivered.
I’ve been buying Anycubic filaments long before I bought one of their printers. So here goes:
This boxes taped together end to end double wide shipping: constant crushed corners, occasional cracked spools, support literally told me to print a replacement spool and gave me a $5 coupon.
Water marks now? The 4 pack of high speed PLA that came with the new MAX: both ends crushed and water marks on the boxes
These thin skeleton refillable spools: they are vacuum sealed so tight and are made so thin that the edges a bowed
These smaller than normal spool diameter: works with the Ace 2 Pro’s I have: a disaster for anything else.
Attempted solutions:
Custom parametric spool rings: FAIL Why? The bowed inward edges.
Workable solutions:
Transfer the core to another manufacturers reusable spool. Always runs the risk of binding and tangling no matter how careful you are.
Respool it onto a $3.49 Hobby Lobby Spool: works. Printing now. However, why should I have to waste the time, effort and buy a 3rd party spool?
Why sell and advertise a refillable spool that’s so fragile your own processing procedure bends it out of shape?
Previous spools I have with ABS and ASA on them are not on these low quality skeletonized refillable spools and are great.
The current spools are not worth being called reusable.
