Not long ago, a 3D printer that could hit 600 mm/s and print in eight colours was a machine you read about in trade magazines, not one you bought with a credit card. Anycubic has spent eleven years closing that gap, and the German store is where the result is easiest to see: serious hardware at prices that start below three hundred euros.
The brand is celebrating its 11th anniversary right now, which means the official German Anycubic store is running its deepest bundle discounts of the year — up to €625 off a single combo. This review looks at what the range actually offers, what the machines do on paper, and what you get by buying direct.

Eleven years and a shelf of design awards
Longevity matters in 3D printing, a category littered with brands that shipped one crowdfunded machine and disappeared. Anycubic has been iterating since 2015, and the recognition has followed the hardware rather than the marketing:
Red Dot Design Award
iF DESIGN AWARD 2025
China Good Design
A’ Design Award & Competition
Those are industrial-design juries, not sponsored review sites — a useful signal that the machines are engineered as products rather than assembled from a catalogue of generic parts.
Two families: filament and resin
The catalogue splits cleanly, and the store keeps the consumables attached to each family so you are never hunting for the right material.
Filament and resin lines, each with its own materials and accessories (real screenshot of de.anycubic.com)
Filament (FDM) printers — the Kobra series, billed as revolutionäre Druckleistung, with filament and accessories alongside
Resin printers — the Photon series for ultrafeine Resin-Präzision, with UV resin, wash & cure stations and accessories
That division is the first decision any buyer makes. Filament for functional parts, brackets, enclosures and large objects; resin for miniatures, jewellery, dental models and anything where surface detail beats build volume.
The Kobra line: 600 mm/s as standard
The Kobra range is where most buyers land, and the spec sheets are genuinely impressive for the money. Every model listed runs a maximum print speed of 600 mm/s with a hotend rated to ≤300 °C, which opens up engineering filaments rather than just PLA.

Anycubic Kobra X — 260 × 260 × 260 mm³, integrated 4-colour printing expandable to 19 colours. €279 (normally €389) · rated 4.7★ from 451 reviews
Anycubic Kobra S1 Combo — 250 × 250 × 250 mm³, CoreXY construction, up to 8-colour printing. €379 (normally €749) · 4.6★ from 425 reviews
Anycubic Kobra 3 Max Combo — a huge 420 × 420 × 500 mm³ build volume, up to 8 colours. €449 (normally €999) · 4.6★ from 92 reviews
Anycubic Kobra S1 Max Combo — 350 × 350 × 350 mm³ with up to 16-colour printing. €799 (normally €1.099) · 4.5★ from 54 reviews
Two things stand out. First, multi-colour printing is no longer a halo feature — it is on the entry machine. Second, the ratings are drawn from hundreds of buyers rather than a handful, and they cluster between 4.5 and 4.7, which is where you want a consumer machine to sit.
The Photon line: resin detail at starter prices
On the resin side the entry point is remarkably low. The Photon Mono 4 starter bundle runs €209 (down from €287), while the Photon Mono M7 Max bundle — which ships with 3 kg of High Speed Resin 2.0, a spare LCD screen, a cleaning kit and a screen protector — is €848 instead of €1.264.
The newest arrival, the Photon P1, adds a dual-colour and dual-material print platform starting at €619 — resin printing has been stubbornly single-material for years, so that is a real step.
Bundles are the pattern across the whole store: printers are sold with the consumables and spares you will need in month one, which removes the familiar annoyance of a new machine arriving without enough material to finish a first project.
What buying direct from the German store gets you
Buying from the official Anycubic store rather than a marketplace reseller changes the after-sale picture entirely.
The buyer guarantees published on the German store (real screenshot of de.anycubic.com)
1-year warranty after purchase, on all orders
14-day right of return — sorgenfreies Einkaufen
Free express shipping (excluding remote areas)
Lifetime support on all orders, with a professional customer service team
100% secure payment, including PayPal
Exclusive discounts for store customers
For European buyers there is a practical bonus: the store runs in euros with German-language support, so there is no currency conversion, no import surprise and no language barrier when a support ticket becomes necessary. A one-year warranty backed by the manufacturer is worth considerably more than a marketplace seller’s return window.
What to buy alongside the printer
A printer is the start of the system, not the whole of it. The store keeps filament, UV resin, wash & cure machines and accessories one click from each printer family, so the first order can be complete.
If you are comparing material suppliers, our review of SUNLU filament covers the value end of the spool market, and Do3D is a good source of ready-made STL files once the machine is running. For the software and board side of the hobby, Chitu Systems explains what is happening underneath a resin printer.
Who Anycubic is for
First-time buyers — the Kobra X at €279 and the Photon Mono 4 bundle at €209 are genuine entry points, not stripped-down teasers
Makers who want colour — 4, 8 or 16 colours depending on model, without a separate multi-material add-on
Anyone printing large — 420 × 420 × 500 mm³ on the Kobra 3 Max is cosplay- and prop-scale
Miniature painters and jewellers — the Photon resin line is built for fine surface detail
European buyers who want euro pricing, German-language support and a manufacturer warranty
Verdict
Anycubic has done the unglamorous work of making capable 3D printers cheap without making them feel cheap: 600 mm/s speeds, multi-colour printing on the entry model, build volumes up to half a metre tall, and hundreds of buyer ratings sitting between 4.5 and 4.7 stars. Add a one-year warranty, 14-day returns and free express shipping, and the risk of trying 3D printing drops to about the price of a games console.
The 11th-anniversary pricing is the best window the store has all year — worth checking the current bundles before the countdown runs out.
