Unleash the Power of Your Anycubic Kobra 3D Printer
Upgrade your Anycubic Kobra, Kobra Max, or Kobra Plus 3D printer with the Kobra Upgrade Bundle to unlock enhanced printing capabilities. Available in multiple hotend options – Copperhead, Mosquito, Mosquito Magnum, and Mosquito Magnum+ – this bundle transforms your printer into a direct-drive powerhouse, delivering faster print speeds, improved extrusion, and expanded filament compatibility.
Bimetallic Heat Break Technology
At the heart of our hotends lies our bimetallic heat break technology which eliminates heat creep and jamming, improves print resolution and allows for shorter retractions. Our hotends utilize this technology to offer precise temperature control and exceptional thermal efficiency, enabling you to print with a wide range of filaments.
Unparalleled Extrusion Performance
The Bondtech LGX, LGX Lite V2, and LGX Lite PRO are powerful extrusion systems that significantly improve extrusion through large drive gears and dual drive technology. These eXtruders ensure precise, reliable, and faster 3D printing, even with rigid and flexible materials, while enabling better retraction performance for quicker print times.

*Although these guides talk about the Vyper printer, they also work for the Kobra Max/Plus printers. Also, in the videos, there is an option to install a bowden coupler to hold the other end of the PTFE tube where the previous stock extruder was.
- If you'd like to go this route, you can order those parts here and here. When ordering the metal push-fit connector, make sure to choose the 4 mm option.
- If you don't want to go this route, you can leave your stock extruder where it was and just remove the internal gears from the stepper motor so the filament runs straight through the extruder housing.
