Anycubic Kobra 3 - Profile/Settings for Cura 5.8

[JRSSVS 0]

Just wondering if anyone has created or tinkered with Cura to get the Kobra 3 working with the software. I absolutely hate the Anycubic Slicer and Anycubic won't provide any advice or guidance.

If there's a very similar Anycubic printer in Cura, then usually picking that and just adjusting anything that might be different (like build volume) works.

I tried that already, the gcode flavour is different to their other FDM models unfortunately.

I suspect you've heard this before but I would lobby Anycubic to create and submit printer profiles to the Cura developers.  It would be great if more manufacturers worked with the slicer devs to get their printers supported.

It would also be great if Creality didn't say in their printer specs (at launch) that Cura is supported but never even bother submitting definitions themselves.

 

But I agree, seriously, it's not like Cura printer definitions have to be complex, is it that hard to just submit a profile with the printer's name, dimensions, max speeds and some basic start/end gcode? That way we wouldn't get at least a few threads a week with people asking why they can't find their printer in the list.

(@JRSSVS that wasn't directed at you or anything, just trying to illustrate that it's a problem).

How different? A lot of printers these days just run Klipper. It's designed to support enough Marlin commands that you can print a file sliced for Marlin. If you could provide a sample gcode file from their slicer we could see what there is to learn from it.

If you still want a gcode file from an Anycubic slicer for the Kobra 3 here's one:

Hello,

 

The Profile File for the Anycubic Cobra 3 would be great to get.

is someone there who is kindly sharing the profile file. I understand that Someone received a file from any cubic and it would be super if the File would be available for download.

Thank you in Advance

Looking at the gcode, it looks like pretty standard Marlin (albeit poorly put together and not thought through) although it uses relative extrusion (which you can set with Special Modes > Relative Extrusion). Adapting a profile from another printer (or just creating one from scratch through Cura's interface) should work.

 

Now I just need someone from Anycubic to explain to me why they think it's a good idea to retract at 80mm/s or accelerate at 10,000mm/s² while printing, or travel at 300mm/s while printing at 60mm/s, I'd like to hear it.

how can i install this gcode

gcode is not something you would install.  It's a model that is already sliced so you can look at the gcode and potentially print it.
