Which one to choose
Choose Kobra 2 Max if…
Choosing the Kobra 2 Max is necessary for those who require an extended print volume of 420x420x500 mm, ideal for large prototypes or unique components that do not require assembly.
Choose Kobra 2 Neo 3D Printer if…
The Kobra 2 Neo is the indicated choice for those starting out in 3D printing or for those with limited space, offering a reduced footprint and a low entry cost for standard-sized prints up to 220x220x250 mm. The machine is more manageable thanks to its weight of 7.3 kg compared to the 21 kg of the Max model, making it suitable for less structured home workstations.
