Key specifications
- Multicolor Printing: Prints up to 4 colors with the included ACE Pro filament box, which also has a filament drying function. A second ACE Pro unit can be added to increase the color count to 8.
- Build Volume: Features an extra-large build volume of 420 x 420 x 500mm, allowing for life-sized projects or multiple items at once.
- Speed: Offers a high-speed printing experience with a maximum speed of 600 mm/s and acceleration of 10,000 mm/s².
- Extruder and Hotend: Equipped with a direct-drive extruder and a 300°C quick-release, high-temperature hotend, which allows it to print a variety of materials.
- Bed: Uses a flexible, textured PEI spring steel build plate that heats up quickly.
- AI Detection: Includes AI “spaghetti” detection and a smart pause function to monitor the print process and alert the user to potential failures (requires an optional camera).
- Software and Connectivity: Operates on the custom Kobra OS firmware and integrates with the Anycubic Slicer Next software and the Anycubic mobile app for remote control and monitoring.

How it compares to competitors
- Cost: At a price point around $1,000 (often on sale), the Kobra 3 Max Combo offers a large, multicolor build volume at a much lower cost than high-end competitors like the Prusa XL.
- Speed vs. Precision: Though fast for a bed slinger of its size, its speed is not as extreme as a Core XY printer like a Bambu Lab. Some users have reported minor bed adhesion issues, which can be fixed with glue stick or a plate upgrade.
- Material Handling: While the multicolor system works well with PLA and PETG, TPU filament is not compatible with the ACE Pro and must be printed as a single color.

FAQs
What do the [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] annotations in the product details mean?
The numbered annotations on the product page correspond to the following explanations:
[1] The Skip Object function is expected to be launched in Q1 2025.
[2] Two ACE Pro units need to be connected using the eight-color feed module.
[3] To achieve a smoother multicolor printing, please prioritize the use of plastic filament spools.
[4] Heating from 25°C to 60°C takes only 125 seconds.
[5] A camera is needed for this function.
[6] A camera is needed for this function.
[7] When selecting models on Makeronline, use a PC with Anycubic Slicer software pre-installed.
[8] The characteristics of TPU filaments make them only suitable for single-color, and they cannot be used together with ACE Pro for dual printing.
Can the Kobra 3 Max Combo use 3mm diameter filaments? What types of filaments can it print?
Kobra 3 Max Combo only supports 1.75mm diameter filaments. It can print PLA, PETG, ABS and TPU.
Does the Kobra 3 Max Combo support 1.75mm filament from other brands? Can the ACE Pro be used with filaments without intelligent identification?
You can use filaments from any brand or other filaments. The Kobra 3 Max only supports PLA series filaments, PETG, ABS, and TPU. The ACE Pro can precisely detect intelligent identification filaments, automatically optimizing printer settings for the best results. If users use filaments without intelligent identification, the ACE Pro will not automatically recognize the material and color.
What is the layer thickness of the Kobra 3 Max Combo?
The original nozzle is 0.4mm (replaceable with 0.2mm, 0.6mm, or 0.8mm nozzles), supporting a precision range of 0.05-0.3mm.
Can the Kobra 3 Max Combo connect to a computer for printing? Are there any system requirements for connecting to a computer?
Yes, it supports computer connection. While connected, Gcode files can be uploaded to the cloud server and pushed to the 3D printer via the cloud after slicing is completed. It supports Windows 10 and above.
How does the filament auto refill function work on the ACE Pro?
1. Materials with intelligent identification are automatically detected as the same material and color, requiring no operation (default automatic feeding).
2. Manual settings for the same material and color also require no operation, defaulting to automatic feeding.
3. Manual settings can require automatic feeding.
How many languages does the Kobra 3 Max Combo support?
The Kobra 3 Max Combo currently supports 9 languages: Chinese, English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Russian, Japanese, and Korean.
