The differences that matter
- Build volume: Kobra 2 Max offers a volume of 420 × 420 × 500 mm, greater than the 320 × 320 × 400 mm of the Plus.
- Footprint and weight: The Max model measures 73.5 × 64 × 74 cm and weighs 21 kg, making it much bulkier and heavier than the Plus (56.4 × 60.5 × 63 cm, 13 kg).
- Price: The Plus is in a lower price range (~€350–450) compared to the ~€500–600 of the Max.
- Power: The Max integrates a 500 W power supply, compared to the 400 W of the Plus, to manage the larger work area.
Which one to choose
Choose Kobra 2 Max if…
Choose Anycubic Kobra 2 Max if your main requirement is print volume. With a working area of 420 × 420 × 500 mm, it allows you to create large projects in a single session, supported by a 500 W power supply suited to the larger heated bed.
Choose Kobra 2 Plus if…
Choose Anycubic Kobra 2 Plus if you want to balance the investment and occupied space. It offers the same maximum speed of 500 mm/s and kinematics as the Max model, but with a 320 × 320 × 400 mm volume that reduces the machine weight to 13 kg and the cost to around €350-450, ideal for more compact workstations.
