Identity & Market
Manufacturer & exact marketed model name (verify the exact product identity first)Anycubic Kobra 2 Max[1]Sovol SV06 Plus ACE 3D Printer[2][3]
Release date (announcement and actual shipping)Listed on the Anycubic store from 31 August 2023 (Shopify publish date)[1]Not documented
Street price (USD; dated snapshot per entry)$639.00 on store.anycubic.com, Aug 2026[1]$299.00 on sovol3d.com against a $349.00 compare-at price, in stock and shipping from US/EU/CA/AU/UK/CN warehouses, checked Aug 2026[2][3]
Variants & sibling models — and how to tell them apart (spec-contamination risk)Largest Kobra 2. Shares the Plus's 90 C bed ceiling and 500/300 mm/s figures but scales to 420 x 420 x 500 mm and 21 kg. Anycubic's on-page comparison is against the older Kobra Max (450 x 400 x 400 mm, Bowden, 180 mm/s), not against the Kobra 2 Plus. Note the newer Kobra 3 Max has the same 420 x 420 x 500 mm volume - build volume alone will not distinguish them[1][4][5]Larger sibling of the SV06 ACE ($239, 220x220x250). Differs from the non-ACE SV06 Plus by Z height (350 vs 340 mm), Klipper on an RK3308, ceramic-plate hotend, 4.3-inch capacitive touchscreen and a camera. Notably it has NO power-loss recovery, which the older SV06 did have[2][3][6]
Physical & Frame
Build volume X×Y×Z (mm) — advertised vs actually usable500 x 420 x 420 mm stated HWD, i.e. 420 x 420 x 500 mm; Anycubic quotes 88.2 L[1]300 x 300 x 350 mm advertised[2]
Machine footprint (mm) & clearance needed (cable/spool overhang)740 x 735 x 640 mm stated HWD - footprint about 735 x 640 mm; this is a floor- or bench-dominating machine[1]510 x 575 x 710 mm including screen and filament holder[2]

Bed surface (material, texture, coating), single/double-sidedPEI magnetic spring steel plate, 420 x 420 mm[1]Double-sided textured PEI plate[2]
Leveling & Z-Offset
Auto bed leveling: probe technology (inductive / strain gauge / load cell / touch probe)Anycubic LeviQ 2.0 automatic levelling, 49-point, with smart Z-offset[1]Automatic levelling (Sovol calls the ACE upgrade an added automatic levelling function); probe technology not named on this page[2]
Filament Handling & Detection
Filament runout sensor (type, location)Filament detection fitted as default[1]Filament run-out sensor fitted; type and location not published[2]
Electronics & Power
Host computer (SoC, RAM, storage) if firmware runs on embedded LinuxCortex-A7 1.2 GHz processor; 8 GB built-in storage[1]Rockchip RK3308 ("3308 chip"), 512 MB RAM, 8 GB eMMC[2]
PSU (brand, wattage, rail voltage)Not documented500 W / 24 V, 100-240 VAC 50/60 Hz[2]

Materials Support
Officially supported filament listPLA, ABS, PETG, TPU (Kobra 2 family list)[7]PLA, PETG, TPU, PVA[2]
Reliability, Support & Ecosystem
Warranty length & support reputation (evidence, not vibes)One year on the complete machine (excluding gifted and second-hand machines), with component warranty periods that vary by part; the period starts on the delivery date and is suspended while a replacement is in transit. Anycubic states it will follow longer local statutory periods where they apply[8]Not documented

Manufacturer claims, independent measurements, packages and test conditions retain their source wording. FDM linear speed and resin vertical speed use different units and are not directly comparable. Unknown values are marked “Not documented”. Prices and source dates remain historical snapshots; check the linked guide for product details. Differences highlight text, not a universal winner.
