The differences that matter
- Price: €499 vs €389 → €110 more buys a multicolor module already fitted.
- Multicolor: built in on the Kobra 3 V2 Combo, a separate accessory on the Kobra X → pick the former to print multiple colors right away.
- Bed temperature: 110°C vs 100°C → more headroom for ABS/ASA on the Kobra 3 V2 Combo.
Which one to choose
Choose Kobra 3 V2 Combo if…
Anyone printing keychains, signage or prototypes with two or three colors in the same part can do it out of the box. The trade-off is a higher price and a slightly smaller bed (255×255 mm) in exchange for a ready-to-use color module and a bed that holds up to 110°C, useful with ABS or ASA.
Choose Kobra X if…
Anyone printing single-color parts — supports, technical hardware, spares in PLA or PETG — saves €110 and gets a marginally larger bed (260×260 mm). Multicolor stays a future purchase, and the bed tops out at 100°C.
