- Performance and Temperatures: Product B reaches a maximum speed of 600 mm/s, with a 300 °C nozzle and 110 °C bed; Product A reaches 500 mm/s, with a 260 °C nozzle and 90 °C bed.
- Software and Firmware: Product B integrates Kobra OS with native Klipper, while Product A does not feature native Klipper.
- Dimensions and Weight: Product A has a footprint of 73.5x64x74 cm and weighs 21 kg, while Product B is more compact at 45.29x50.47x48.3 cm and weighs 9.37 kg.
Which one to choose
Choose Kobra 2 Max if…
Product A is the suitable choice for users whose primary requirement is a large build volume, thanks to its 420x420 mm build area and 500 mm Z-height. It is ideal for those working on large-scale single-filament projects and who have the physical space to accommodate a 21 kg machine.
Choose Kobra 3 V2 Combo if…
Product B is recommended for those seeking updated performance and color versatility, offering multicolor printing up to 4 colors via the ACE Pro module without additional accessories. It is ideal for users prioritizing speed (up to 600 mm/s), higher extrusion temperatures (300 °C), and a native Klipper-based operating system.
