Conclusion
In comparing the Anycubic Kobra and Longer 3D LK4 X, both printers are well-regarded for their features and performance in the 3D printing market. The Anycubic Kobra is positioned at a slightly lower price point, which contributes to its value proposition. It offers robust features such as automatic bed leveling, a direct drive extruder, and a flexible print bed for easy print removal. Additionally, its maximum printing speed is higher than that of the LK4 X.

On the other hand, the Longer LK4 X offers intelligent 16-point auto-leveling and dual direct-gear extruders that enhance filament control. It boasts an ultra-quiet motherboard, is pre-assembled for ease of use, and includes filament out-of-stock protection. While it slightly edges out the Kobra in terms of hardware, the LK4 X's speed is lower, and it comes at a slightly higher price.

In conclusion, both printers provide excellent capabilities within the same print volume and release year. However, if cost is a significant factor, the Anycubic Kobra presents a more attractive option with its higher printing speed and similar features at a lower price point. Conversely, if advanced level of filament control and additional intelligent features are a priority, the Longer LK4 X could be worth the extra investment. Ultimately, the decision hinges on user preferences in terms of features versus price, with both printers offering solid performance within their respective characteristics.
