Anycubic Kobra 3 Max - Power Consumption

I was curious what power the Anycubic Kobra 3 Max 8 Color Combo draws. What I measured:

• Anycubic Kobra 3 Max only, Idle: 18W
• ACE Pro only: 13W

So, the total setup “Anycubic Kobra 3 Max 8 Color Combo” has 44W idle.

Some further measurement gave me some values for PLA printing. I printed a small part (30min print time) and measured power consumption multiple times during print to get an average value. This is accurate enough for my purpose as I wanted a rough estimate. The print was done using PLA and 215°C extrusion temperature and 65°C bed temperature during the whole print. What I got is that the “Anycubic Kobra 3 Max 8 Color Combo” needs:

• 923W during early heat up phase (3-4 min)
• 538W during later heat up phase
• 360W on average while printing
