Added Anycubic Kobra 2

Open ifohancroft opened this issue 10 months ago • 4 comments

Any and all the Kobra 2 files and settings are taken from those provided by Anycubic for the Kobra 2 for PrusaSlicer.

The following has been changed from what Anycubic has provided:

  1. Added extra vertical space to the printer thumbnail to match the size of the rest of the Anycubic printer thumbnails in the repo.
  2. Set print_settings_id, filament_settings_id, printer_settings_id and post_process to empty, to match the rest of the Anycubic printers in the ini.
  3. Did not add the preset in the ini that Anycubic had added:
[presets]
print = Kobra2-PLA Parameter
sla_print = 0.025 UltraDetail
sla_material = - default -
printer = Kobra2-PLA Parameter
filament = Kobra2-PLA Parameter

I am afraid this is not enough to add that printer. There is only one basic printer/filament/print profile called "Kobra2-PLA Parameter", also the way it was added to the ini file (copy/paste with all keys from exported bundle) is not ideal for future maintenance.

Unfortunately, that is all that Anycubic provides for the printer for PrusaSlicer. What more would you say is needed?

Would you please elaborate on that?

More print profiles (for example different layer heights). At least some basic filament profiles (PLA/PETG). Those profiles should be tested/tuned on actual printer. Basically what would you expect as an owner of such printer and what can you usually see with other bundled printers.

It's basically described here https://github.com/prusa3d/PrusaSlicer/wiki/Vendor-bundles-and-updating-process. Using some inheritance, possibly some existing presets, etc. Anycubic bundle is already quite problematic, because it contains different profiles from different authors.

Thank you! I would look into that in the following days.
