Identity & Market
Manufacturer & exact marketed model name (verify the exact product identity first)Anycubic Kobra 2 Max[1]Sovol SV07[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 at 3D Printers Online Store but Out of Stock, checked Aug 2026. Sovol's own comparison article quotes $259. No in-stock listing found[3][4]
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][5][6]Base of a two-model pair with the SV07 Plus (300x300x350, 600 W MeanWell PSU, 25-point levelling, adds USB Type-C). The SV07 has a 350 W MeanWell PSU. Both are quoted by Sovol at 500 mm/s and 300 °C, so PSU wattage and build volume are the reliable discriminators[4][3][7]
Market position: superseded? successor announced?Not documentedDelisted by Sovol; not present in the current 3D-printer collection. 3DJake shows it sold out and no longer stocked[8][2]
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]220 x 220 x 250 mm advertised[2][3]
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]460 x 457 x 625 mm[3]
Net weight (kg)21 kg[1]9.8 kg machine weight; 12.9 kg boxed[3]
Frame construction & materialNot documentedOpen frame, supplied as an assembly kit[2]

Z-axis: leadscrew count & type, sync mechanism, anti-backlashDual-motor dual Z axis[1]Not documented
Speed & Acceleration
Max print speed (claimed, mm/s)500 mm/s maximum print speed (Anycubic Lab figure)[1]Conflicting manufacturer figures: Sovol's own comparison says up to 500 mm/s, 3DJake's feature text says up to 250 mm/s, and the retailer listing gives a 250-500 mm/s range. 500 is the headline claim, 250 the working figure[4][2][3]

Mesh grid size (probe point count — firmware evidence)Not documented25 points (manufacturer claim)[2]
Filament Handling & Detection
Filament runout sensor (type, location)Filament detection fitted as default[1]Not documented
Cooling & Air Handling
Part-cooling fan(s): count, size, ducting designNot documentedTriple-fan cooling (Sovol's description; fan sizes and duct design not published)[2][4]
Electronics & Power

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[10]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.
