The differences that matter
- Price: €774 on the Max Combo vs €349 on the V2 → the Max Combo costs €425 more.
- Work area: 420×420 mm vs 255×255 mm → the Max Combo fits furniture parts or whole picture frames that won't fit on the V2.
- Z height: 500 mm vs 260 mm → the Max Combo prints taller parts, nearly double the height.
- Max bed temperature: 90 °C on the Max Combo vs 110 °C on the V2 → the V2 handles PETG and more demanding materials better.
Which one to choose
Choose Kobra 3 Max Combo if…
you need a 420×420 mm bed or 500 mm of Z height for large parts like furniture pieces or whole picture frames, which simply won't fit on the V2. The footprint grows to 70×64×75 cm: measure your space before buying.
Choose Kobra 3 V2 if…
the budget needs to stay under €350 and your parts fit within 255×255 mm. Bed temperature still reaches 110 °C against the Max Combo's 90 °C, an advantage for PETG and more demanding materials.
