Anycubic Kobra 3 Max 3D Printer vs Anycubic Kobra S1

Choose the Anycubic Kobra 3 Max if the primary goal is the production of large objects, thanks to the 420x420x500 mm print volume that significantly exceeds that of the S1.

Choose the Anycubic Kobra S1 for applications requiring technical materials or greater structural precision, benefiting from the CoreXY kinematics and the closed chamber that ensures better thermal stability up to 120 degrees on the print bed and 320 degrees on the nozzle. Its more compact structure also makes it more suitable for workshops with limited workspace compared to the Kobra 3 Max, which requires a footprint of 70.6x94 cm and weighs 22.1 kg versus the 18 kg of the S1. The 150 euro price difference reflects the transition from a large-format Cartesian machine to a closed CoreXY one, more oriented towards technical material quality and constant speed on standard 250 mm cubic volumes. Both machines support the multicolor system via an external module and share native integration with Klipper and Input Shaper to optimize print times up to 600 mm/s. The Kobra 3 Max is a machine specialized for large formats, while the Kobra S1 is a more versatile solution for printing advanced materials in a controlled environment. The Kobra 3 Max offers a print volume of 420x420x500 mm, ideal for large prototypes. The Kobra S1 integrates a closed chamber and CoreXY kinematics, optimal for technical materials and constant precision.
