The differences that matter
- Price: 499 € against 625 € → the Kobra 4 Combo costs 126 € less.
- Colors: 4 against 16 → beyond four colors in one part you need the K2 Combo.
- Chamber: enclosed on the K2 Combo, open on the Kobra 4 Combo → the Kobra 4 Combo prints with no enclosure around the part.
Which one to choose
Choose Kobra 4 Combo if…
you want to monitor the print from the Anycubic app, with AI-based error detection, on a 13.6 kg machine. The trade-off: Cartesian kinematics instead of CoreXY, and a limit of few colors.
Choose K2 Combo if…
you need an enclosed chamber and up to 16 colors on CoreXY kinematics, managed from Creality Print over Wi-Fi or LAN. The trade-off: 18 kg and a higher price.
