Why consider it?

A built-in 720p camera as standard, faster zoned leveling, and nozzle sealing advertised at Kobra S1 level.

What to verify

Still an open frame with no enclosure; the volume gain over the Kobra 3 stays modest (about 4%).

How much space does it need?

The Anycubic Kobra 3 V2 measures 452.9 × 504.7 × 483 mm (17.8 × 19.9 × 19 in) for a 255 × 255 × 260 mm (10 × 10 × 10.2 in) build volume: the dashed box is the printer, the solid cube the largest theoretical part, about 15% of the machine’s volume. Add room for the spool or multicolor unit, cables and ventilation.

Source: official Anycubic pages (store.anycubic.com), checked September 28, 2026. Manufacturer claims, not our measurements. Build volume is nominal: orientation, supports and reserved zones can reduce the usable space.

Which projects is it for?

The Kobra 3 V2 is a revision of the Kobra 3 with a slightly larger nominal volume, 255 × 255 × 260 mm versus 250 × 250 × 260 mm per Anycubic, about 4% more volume. It targets the same audience as the Kobra 3: beginners and makers who want everyday parts without a closed chamber, with the option to add multicolor later.

The advertised speed stays up to 600 mm/s, with zoned leveling that only recalibrates the area under the model, shortening print-prep time per the manufacturer.

Materials and setup

The printer runs PLA, PETG, and TPU per Anycubic, with a nozzle advertised up to 300°C and a bed up to 110°C. LeviQ 3.0 leveling is backed by a widened Y-axis (from 40 to 60 mm per the manufacturer) for a more reliable leveling-probe reading.

Nozzle sealing is advertised at Kobra S1 level to reduce filament leaks, and a 720p camera is built in as standard for remote print monitoring. The ACE Pro is still needed, and sold separately, for multicolor.

What the bundle includes or not

Per Anycubic's listing, the Kobra 3 V2 alone ships with a touchscreen, spool holder, cable holder, purge wiper, hardware bags, signal cable, several filament tubes, nozzle cleaner, test filament, USB drive, power cords, a wrench set, and the camera module.

The ACE Pro for multicolor is not included in this base bundle and is sold separately per the manufacturer. Check the retailer's listing for whether your offer includes this module before comparing prices.

Before finalizing a purchase, compare the exact spec sheet and box contents listed by the retailer rather than relying only on the product photo, especially for the number of spare nozzles, cables included, and assembly accessories. Warranty terms and technical support can also differ noticeably between Anycubic's own store and a third-party retailer, worth checking before comparing two similarly priced offers. Since filament beyond the test spool is not included, it's also worth budgeting for ongoing material costs as part of the overall setup rather than treating the listed price as the full cost.

Alternatives to compare

For the previous generation in the same lineup, the Kobra 3 shares most of the same features, potentially at a lower price. For an enclosed chassis, the Kobra S1 adds a full enclosure for ABS and ASA.

The Anycubic page covers the rest of the manufacturer's lineup, and the multicolor buying guide explains what adding an ACE Pro module involves before you buy one.

Frequently asked questions

What is the build volume of the Anycubic Kobra 3 V2?

Anycubic lists a 255 × 255 × 260 mm (10 × 10 × 10.2 in) build volume (width × depth × height). That is the largest theoretical part size; supports, brim and orientation reduce the usable space.

How big is the Anycubic Kobra 3 V2?

According to Anycubic, the Anycubic Kobra 3 V2 measures 452.9 × 504.7 × 483 mm (17.8 × 19.9 × 19 in) (width × depth × height) and weighs 9.4 kg (20.7 lb). Leave extra clearance for the spool, cables and airflow, and more if you add a multicolor unit.

How fast is the Anycubic Kobra 3 V2?

Anycubic claims a top toolhead speed of 600 mm/s and 20,000 mm/s² acceleration. Real print times depend on the material, the profile and the part; this is a manufacturer figure, not our measurement.

Is the Anycubic Kobra 3 V2 enclosed?

No, it is an open-frame printer. It suits PLA and PETG; ABS and ASA are better handled by an enclosed machine. Its nozzle reaches 300 °C (572 °F) and its bed 110 °C (230 °F).

What's the difference between the Kobra 3 and the Kobra 3 V2?

Per Anycubic, the V2 gains a slightly larger volume (255 × 255 × 260 mm versus 250 × 250 × 260 mm), faster zoned leveling, reinforced nozzle sealing, and a built-in 720p camera as standard.

Is the ACE Pro included with the Kobra 3 V2?

No, it's sold separately per Anycubic. The machine alone prints single-color; the ACE Pro is needed for multicolor, with up to eight filaments advertised on the Combo version.

Does the built-in camera replace full remote monitoring?

Anycubic advertises a built-in 720p camera for print monitoring, which covers basic surveillance use. The level of detail and app features available should still be checked on the retailer's listing.
