Anycubic Kobra X

Mid-range, and the cheapest four-color machine sold

Four colors built into the toolhead rather than bolted on as a feeder, which undercuts every AMS combo on price and cuts the purge waste that usually comes with them. It arrives 95 percent built, calibrates itself, and one reviewer metered it below 48 dB in standard mode.

Anycubic has the worst spare parts record of any brand on this site: parts are proprietary, and back stock runs out once a model is superseded. The pattern owners report is a defect acknowledged and then a warranty claim refused. Anycubic’s own page lists the camera as an accessory while a reviewer found one fitted, which is the kind of disagreement that follows this brand around.
