Key features
Performance and quality
- High-speed printing: The Kobra 3 V2 can reach a maximum printing speed of 600mm/s and a maximum acceleration of 20,000mm/s², though reviews suggest higher quality is achieved at the recommended speed of 300mm/s.
- LeviQ 3.0 auto-leveling: An improved and precise auto-leveling system ensures excellent first-layer adhesion without the need for manual Z-offset adjustments.
- AI monitoring: A built-in 720p HD camera enables AI-powered “spaghetti detection,” which automatically pauses prints when it detects a print failure, and allows for remote monitoring and time-lapse photography.
- Upgraded hardware: It includes an improved nozzle designed to minimize filament leakage and wider-stance Y-axis rails with SG15 X-axis bearings for greater stability and accuracy.
Why Choose Kobra 3 V2 Combo
Multi-color capabilities (Combo version)
- Multi-color printing: When bundled with the Anycubic Color Engine (ACE) Pro, the printer can produce four-color prints out of the box and can be expanded for up to eight colors.
- Active filament drying: The ACE Pro also functions as an active filament dryer, maintaining optimal filament conditions for higher print success rates.

FAQs
What do the ①②③④⑤⑥⑦ annotations in the product details mean?
The numbered annotations on the product page correspond to the following explanations:
① Kobra 3 has integrated the same advanced nozzle as the flagship model, starting in Q4 2024.
② The model of the camera mounting parts is already built into the printer’s memory file and needs to be printed and mounted by users.
③④ The slicing software and mobile app can be downloaded from the ANYCUBIC official website and major app stores, respectively. The Linux version of the slicer is anticipated to be released in the second half of 2025.
⑤ To select models, users must access Makeronline via a PC with Anycubic Slicer Next already installed.
⑥ Kobra 3’s 255*255*260mm print size is expected to upgrade in Q3.
⑦Area Leveling function is expected to launch in Q2.
What have been upgraded?
1. Improved Leveling Accuracy for Reliable Printing.
2. Faster Startup with Zoned LevelingIt can perform leveling on a specific area determined by the bottom surface area and position of the model, reducing print preparation time.
3. Comes Standard with a 720p Camera for instant monitoring.(The model of the camera mounting parts is already built into the printer’s memory file and needs to be printed and mounted by users.)
4. Expanded Print Volume for More Creativity.
5. S1-Level Nozzle Sealing to Reduce Leakage.
What materials can the Kobra 3 V2 print?
The Kobra 3 V2 supports PLA, PETG and TPU. The Kobra 3 V2 supports most 1KG filaments with the following specifications: outer diameter ranging from 195-200mm, spool thickness between 60-68mm, and outer wall thickness of 3-3.5mm. Also don’t forget to check whether the printing temperature of the consumables is within the temperature range supported by the print head of our machine.
Does the Kobra 3 V2 have power-loss recovery and filament runout detection?
Yes. 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 detect the material and color, and users need to switch colors manually when printing.
Does the Kobra 3 V2 have power-loss recovery and filament runout detection?
Yes, the machine supports both power-loss recovery and filament runout detection functions.
Does this machine include a camera?
Yes. This machine includes a 720P camera.
Is the printer noisy during operation?
The machine operates at a noise level of approximately 55dB.
What is the printing speed of Kobra 3 V2?
The recommended printing speed is 300 mm/s, with a maximum printing speed of up to 600 mm/s and a maximum acceleration of 20,000 mm/s². The time to print a small boat (layer height 0.2 mm) is approximately 13 minutes.
What is the printing layer thickness of the Printer?
The standard nozzle is 0.4 mm, and it supports a printing layer thickness range of 0.6mm to 0.8mm.
