The differences that matter
- Price: €699 on the Kobra 3 Max vs €349 on the V2 → the V2 costs €350 less.
- Work area: 420×420 mm vs 255×255 mm → the Max prints whole parts (helmets, frames) that would need splitting on the V2.
- Z-height: 500 mm vs 260 mm → the Max prints much taller vertical parts.
- Max bed temperature: 90°C on the Max vs 110°C on the V2 → the V2 handles filaments prone to lifting better.
Which one to choose
Choose Kobra 3 Max if…
Pick Kobra 3 Max 3D Printer if you print large parts: the 420×420 mm build area against 255×255 mm fits helmets, frames or single-piece prints that would need splitting on the V2, and the 500 mm Z-height against 260 mm allows much taller vertical prints.
Choose Kobra 3 V2 if…
Pick Kobra 3 V2 if space or budget is tight: it costs €349 against €699 (half the price) and the bed heats up to 110°C against 90°C, extra margin with filaments prone to lifting.
