The Anycubic Kobra X is the cheapest machine named anywhere in this guide: £279.99 against the £499 of the K2 Combo and the £999 of the K2 Plus Combo, and it sits at number four with 4.2 stars from 789 ratings. The number that does not close on this page is the build volume. Where the other listings quote a 260 x 260 x 260 mm cube, the Kobra X bullet reads "260mm3 large volume" next to a print speed of 600mm/s. Read literally, 260mm3 is 260 cubic millimetres, the size of a sugar cube — and the same listing gives the machine itself as 56 x 54 x 33 cm.

The colour claim follows the pattern of the rest of this guide. The headline is native 4-colour printing built in; the 19 colours appear in the same bullet only with four ACE units, and the listing never says how many ACE units arrive in the box. The four spools of filament in the product photos are, in the listing's own words, display-only and not included. What does hold up is the rating spread: 4.2 stars, and the listing's own histogram puts 10 of every 100 ratings at one star. Everything here comes from the Amazon listing, not from testing we carried out.
