I just assembled my new Anycubic Kobra 2, performed an auto level and tried to print the 30min benchy file they include on the micro SD card that it ships with. No other modifications of adjustments made. It printed in pretty much exactly the 30min the advertised.
It's think it did OK, but with obvious issues. Since I'm new to the hobby I don't know exactly what to expect and how to identify print quality issues.
My benchy looks like this:
Yeah it has a textured PEI plate, the filament is just the 10m sample that comes with the printer (vacuum sealed), the filament I ordered hasn't arrived yet.
I'll give the ABL another go to see if it changes anything or just manually adjust Z-offset maybe.
I'll remember the trick with the dehydrator for drying out filament, I already have one of those that goes all the way down to 30°C
Note that vacuum sealing doesn't necessarily change anything, I've bought my fair share of vacuum sealed wet filament.
