=== Kobra ===
[[Kobra]] is an Anycubic Kobra Go. <br />

Bed slinger, bowden tubed (ie. non-direct drive) 3D printer. Main modification is the part cooling fan which has required modifying the toolhead slightly. It should not affect day to day usage and nozzle swapping.<br />

==== Filament ====
Only use the provided filament. Note that the majority of the filament in the Hackspace is currently 2.85mm diameter and Kobra uses the more common standard of 1.75mm.

Kobra is best suited for the following materials:
* PLA
* PETG
* TPU

Always use the correct slicing profile for the filament material you are using. Different filaments have different melting and burning points, so getting the wrong material type can end up with a scorched mess, or a failure to extrude with a strained extruder motor. ABS is not recommended because it is not enclosed. If the printer is enclosed in the future, then ABS/ASA printing will be a lot easier, otherwise you will have bed adhesion issues.

please contact the maintainers if you wish to use a filament that is not available.

Glue stick should not be required with the texture PEI bed.

==== Bed Levelling ====
Note that Kobra is very picky about the bed levelling procedure. The build plate should be perfectly aligned front to back and side to side for the probe to properly detect the build plate. Otherwise the printhead will collide with the build plate.

The procedure to get proper bed levelling is to set the build plate properly and run the bed levelling procedure from the screen. Once it has saved the bed mesh, you can adjust the Z-offset which determines how high the printer will keep the nozzle above the print bed. 

= Cost = 
Using the printers costs £1.50/hour of printing + 50p/meter of filament. [[3D_Printing/Print_via_Octoprint|Octoprint]] gives you both of these.

= Training =
Training is required. There is a cost of £10 to be trained, payable to the trainer.

= Logging =
All prints are to be logged via Google form once it is updated.
