Kobra 3 Combo Ruined By Firmware Update Review

  • Software & Connectivity-1 pts

    I keep telling them it is a firmware issue and they say it is not. I am trying to put on old firmware but it won't load it.

Kobra 3 Combo Ruined By Firmware Update Review

  • Software & Connectivity-1 pts

    Updated the firmware and on bed leveling the head crashed into the hotbed hard, then auto leveling issues, quality issues, all sorts happened. Reverting back to the previous firmware fixed all my problems.

Kobra 3 Combo Ruined By Firmware Update Review

  • Software & Connectivity-1 pts

    Hi everyone, I want to share my experience with the Anycubic Kobra 3 Combo. I bought it in January 2025 and it printed more than 1300 hours flawlessly. Then came the June 22 firmware update and the printer became almost useless. I wasted kilos of filament on tests and calibrations, with no improvement. I sent photos and videos to support, but never got any real technical assistance. The only “solution” I received was a replacement nozzle, obviously useless since the issue is firmware/software related. By August, I gave up: the printer now just sits in the corner and works as a filament dryer. I’ve always used original Anycubic filament, so there’s no excuse here. The worst part: I left a 1-star review on the official Anycubic website, received an email with a €5 voucher confirming the review, but my feedback was never published. It looks like 1–2 star reviews are being censored, which means new customers only see positive feedback. Has anyone else with a Kobra 3 faced the same issues after the June firmware update?
