Anycubic Kobra 2 Pro vs Bambu Lab P2S
Technical comparison · Fused filament fabrication (FFF/FDM)
Two filament printers with a clear price gap: the P2S costs about €230 more than the Kobra 2 Pro. What decides it is the enclosed chamber together with multicolor, which the P2S has (up to 20 colors with the accessory) and the Kobra 2 Pro does not.

| Software notes | Anycubic Kobra OS (a closed Klipper-based system) compatible with the Anycubic mobile app for remote control. Supports all major slicers. | The official slicer is Bambu Studio, available for macOS, Windows, and Linux. The printer also accepts standard G-code exported from third-party slicers such as PrusaSlicer, SuperSlicer, and Cura, though certain advanced Bambu-specific features — including RFID-based filament detection and some automatic calibration modes — are only available within Bambu Studio. Remote control is handled via the Bambu Handy mobile app and desktop app; push notifications require cloud connectivity. |
The differences that matter
- Chamber and nozzle: enclosed and up to 300 °C against open and 260 °C → the P2S is enclosed and runs a hotter nozzle; the Kobra 2 Pro stays open.
- Colors: one against up to 20 with the accessory → one material per part against multicolor parts.
- Bed: 220×220 mm against 256×256 mm → a 240 mm part fits only on the P2S.
- Price: €285 against €519 → about €230 of difference.
Which one to choose
Choose Kobra 2 Pro if…
you print single-color parts and would rather keep about €230. You give up the enclosed chamber and multicolor, and the bed is 220×220 mm instead of 256×256 mm. The nozzle tops out at a declared 260 °C, against 300 °C on the P2S.
Choose P2S if…
you print in several colors, or want an enclosed chamber and a nozzle that reaches 300 °C. The bill is higher, multicolor needs the accessory, and the app's push notifications go through the cloud.
