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:

Did you use a raft? If you did then stop using it (skirt and/or brim should be enough in most cases), if not than adjust Z offset and try again.

Otherwise your print looks good, but for improvement you should do:

  • temperature calibration
  • flow calibration
  • retraction calibration

There are many guides and models online, but I print hollow single wall cube for temp and flow. Its quick print and you can test layer bond by braking it with your fingers

It doesn't make a raft, and after adjusting Z-axis manually i got a decent bottom with readable text.
