Which one to choose
Choose Kobra 2 Neo 3D Printer if…
you value price. It is the cheapest in its class.
Choose Artillery M1 Pro S1 if…
you value max print speed, work area and native klipper. It is the best value for money in its class. «The rated maximum speed indicates the theoretical hardware limit, not the everyday working speed. Faster machines reduce print times on simple geometries, but real-world speed depends on material, geometry, required surface finish, and slicer settings. Values above 200–300 mm/s are meaningful only on machines with CoreXY kinematics, active input shaping, and a stiffened mechanical frame.»
