Which one to choose
Choose Kobra 3 Combo if…
Product A (Anycubic Kobra 3 Combo) is suitable for those looking for an integrated multicolor printing setup (up to 4 colors) without the need for optional accessories, accepting a higher initial investment (~400–500 €) and a 250×250 mm build area.
Choose Kobra 3 V2 if…
Product B (Anycubic Kobra 3 V2) is ideal for those who want a more affordable entry-level machine (349 €) released in 2025, with a slightly larger build volume (255×255 mm) and extended software compatibility (OrcaSlicer), keeping in mind that multicolor printing requires the separate purchase of the ACE Pro module to handle up to 8 colors.
